Life is a whirlwind, I recently told a friend. May has arrived and I’m not ready:) I’ve decided  to update the journal here monthly as time gets away from me. Heartfelt thanks to those of you who read my ramblings and comment and/or email in response. You mean more to me than I can say. Since my readers aren’t ‘fans’ …

Time is flying and I need to catch up with you here on the journal so will try to keep it short and sweet! Hope you had a beautiful Easter wherever you are.
