I'm Back!

     In case you didn't know i had been gone ~ i was.  i just returned last night from spending a lovely week at my sister's house in sunny Colorado.  We had such a good time.  In spite of having a 12 hour tummy bug, it was a very enjoyable visit.  i was able to go with them to the place where they volunteer once a week, shop at some special and unique stores, go to the movies (The Secret Life of Walter Mitty~ which i just loved), and had lunch with a special friend.  Oh, and on Sunday evening, we had a big birthday bash for her 2 daughters who have birthdays close together.  All in all, a most excellent get-away.  Here a couple of pics from my trip ~ my beautiful niece!

 And another beautiful niece (one of the birthday girls) and her beautiful family!

So now, i am back at home, enjoying my Little House in the Big Woods.  Today involved unpacking, making phone calls, doing online banking, more phone calls, and getting ready to go to a meeting this evening.  i may actually sneak in a little nap before the meeting.  :-)
