Closed for business

I get a smidgeon of the blog traffic I used to have. This is what comes from not posting on a regular basis and/or posting the most boring stuff on the internet. I'm guilty on both counts. I thought for a bit about giving up the blog altogether but then I remembered why I started to do this in the first place: connection with friends and family. So I'm going to keep it going, albeit with a very different look. This is your notice that this place is going to be a mess as I change my template and add new stuff.

Hopefully a new look will get me back into the groove. I've been blogging for over five years. I don't even know if I can stop, but I can do it with more style.

Thanks for not closing up shop completely. I for one, enjoy reading your blog! You are a great story teller, and I love seeing the girls grow.

Besides, this record is a great way for the girls to look back and see what life was like when they were too little to remember most things. I know that feeling first hand, because this weekend I received my baby book from my dad. In it, my mom had written numerous details about my infancy and toddlerhood. Now that she's gone, it is such a gift to have that recorded in her "voice".

Here's to a wonderful and Happy New Year. Can't wait to see what you come up with next!

Good choice NOT to give it up -- the blog is a great way to keep folks updated...it reminds me of my grandmother's weekly (typewritten) letters to family, headed "Dear One and All"....(file that under: nothing new under the sun).
