Long time gone

I can not believe it has been 6 months since I last posted. Why ? I have not been writing -other than for my thrice monthly writig group class assignments -but then  neither have the blogs I follow of people I know. My friend Annie P hasnt written in forever -I suspect she has a secret new blog that I do not have the address to? 

My missionary cousin in Dakar is home for the birth of his first grand child -you would think he would blog about that? 

MY step niece in Argentina came back to the States sans husband to attend her step Dad's marriage and never blogged about that?

Only Mimi Packs Light seems to post semi -regularly.

 I lay the fault at Face Book's feet. All the quick thoughts and reposts that capture my interest enough to comment on, have dealt a nasty blow to my blog. My Bad.

So I post this with the best news: an engagement for my niece Heather to her friend, Matt. She is Happy, my brother is Happy and I am Happy. I met her man for two hours before Thanksgiving 2012, He seems very nice and he treats my niece well. My Mother thinks he looks like a movie star -I think they both do! The wedding is next year. I am loosing weight as we speak. Not as fast as I want but it is coming off and considering I bought the dress a size or two smaller already .......ugh. Now she is picking the venue. I am hoping for Mendenhall Inn near Longwood Gardens.

 I am with Matt on this one, pick a place and tell me when to show up.  As long as she is Happy...........:)))
