Yes, I am finally making an appearance. It has been a whirlwind of activity. I hadn't planned on being away so long, let alone at all. Life has been busy! In good ways! I have been doing small remodeling projects. Re-decorating rooms in my home and prepping for larger remodeling projects that should be taking place soon (fingers crossed). Kids were on break from school. I also traveled to Arizona (my home away from home), and while there, stood up in my best friend's wedding! ... caught a bad cold upon return :( ...It was a very fast and furiously fun trip. We had a fabulous time and because it was short, I am already planning a return trip. I used to live in AZ and though I don't think I would enjoy living there now, it is so great to visit in February and have the most beautiful temps, in the 70's = perfection! I especially love the nights in AZ. It's so beautiful to sit outside enjoying a glass of wine hanging out with friends, old and new. We didn't have much downtime due to wedding preparations, pedicures, hair, shopping, rehearsal dinner, etc. The outdoor wedding turned out so lovely and we managed to escape the forecasted rain. And for additional FUN that night we visited an Irish Pub and listened to a great band...Love the banter that goes on between the band and the audience...so much fun! Felt like I was in the film PS I Love You ~ the only thing missing was Gerard Butler ;) I wanted so badly to get up and dance like they did in Riverdance and Lord of the Dance...but instead you dance with your hands pounding on the table to the beat; very hypnotic! Feels a bit like static dance, definitely groovy :)
I miss the desert already and my best friend!
I also wanted to touch base to thank all of you, my sweet blogger friends for sending notes and comments wishing me well and wondering where I've gone to. I appreciate your hanging in there during my absence. I miss visiting all of you and hope to do so very soon. Honestly, I am amazed I ever had time to blog before as things have just picked up so much, partly due to the warmer weather. I have sooo many new projects going on and I am very excited for several of them. It's amazing the mental *energy* and *optimism* that spring provides...
these were the best I could do for pics...sooo busy I forgot to pack my usb cord for camera :( so my memory card was full...:( but you get the idea....more pics over at:

wonderful pics...sounds like you have had a great time away...welcome back!
Hey My dearest twin... That is so nice... all you've been through... I would have stood up and dance (what the heck!...)LOL
I am glad you are having a busy and good time. YES, spring has that special power... that is why there is no good excuse not to blog now and then. You've been so missed, my darling!
Lots of love
;)
It seems like I'm visiting you twice in the same day...hey! It IS you again, Calli! Feast or Famine, and I'll take either or.
Sweet friend, I'm still loving your piece LADY in RED hanging on the wall right above my old monitor. And so you continue to inspire me to just BE, and accept life, and deal with it.
I have also now and then been giving away small things of my own and Peeps just love to have a piece of their friend in their homes. Thank you, again and again!
PEACE!
So glad just to know you're okay. We blogfriends have to make a pact to warn people when we'll be away!
It sounds as if you had a wonderful time. Getting away for a bit is so refreshing. We all need it - good for the soul, I think.
Hey Brian~ Thanks so much! Happy to be back!
My twin girl, Dulce~ Yes Spring has certain power and it is wonderful. Yeah, I should have danced but I was wearing my gown from the wedding and would have fallen on my a__ for sure! ;) Missed you too darling! xxoo
Always a pleasure, Steve, to see you! Feast or Famine, such is life ;)...haha. I am so pleased that RED still speaks to you. Peace!!!
Karen dear friend, you are absolutely right! We should have that pact to warn when we will be away. I recall times when others have been MIA and I have worried and wondered. I will keep in better touch, I promise! :)

I'm so glad you had a break from your usual and such a grand mini-vacation. Love the pics and look forward to seeing your expressions again............
Oh me too Dennis, was sooo needed and it had been such a long time between vacations. Great seeing you and as always ~ Thanks! :)
Well, Calli! You're back! It is really good to see you! I was surprised to see your pretty face on my blog... it's been so long. And I was so busy this past weekend, I think I missed your new post. I missed quite a few, actually. But, I'm here. And you're here, and it's all good. Now warm your hands and start putting together some beautiful words like you always do. Click click click... makes for good entertainment, always!
Nevine

I feel good knowing that you are in a special place!
Oh Nevine, you are one sweet woman! Thank you for such generous comments!

Secretia, that's a lovely thing to say...many thanks!
Hi Calli. Great that you're back!
Excellent vaca., obviously for
your heart and spirit.
I notice myself how much can be
done creatively-wise when I tone
down on my blogging.
Thank you, dearest Cynthia! I do feel refreshed but am longing for my next vacation. This time I am taking much longer to enjoy!!!
But, yes, I am getting sooo much more done!
