Haven't had a lot of time, or energy, for posting lately and wouldn't you know that when I do, blogger won't let me upload pics. How disappointing is that? It's Dream's 9th birthday today and I had hoped to put up a picture of her taken this afternoon. Maybe later ......... It's a busy time of year around here, and has nothing to do with Christmas and that chaos. Mostly the hectic pace is due to lobstering and I've been voted 'chief cook and bottle washer' for the homefront. Electric stove, dishwasher, clothes washer and dryer are all much appreciated! Even so I've hardly had time to catch my breathe between chores. Only a bit of picture taking and computer work has been accomplished before falling into my bed in the evening. Though I've written little here on my blog, I have been trying to keep up with reading the regular blogs that I visit. 'Someday' things will return to 'normal' around here ............ 'someday' .......

Until next time ........... take care all .............
