It’s beginning to feel like Fall…my favorite season of the year.  The windows are open and there’s a cool breeze.  A welcomed cool breeze after the hot summer we’ve had.  I love this time of year.

If you noticed the date on my last blog post, you’ll see that it has been a while.  Much too long.  I’m ready to write again.  I have a brand new camera and it’s time to take photos again.  It’s a really nice Canon and definitely over my head, but I’ll figure it out.  In the meantime, I’ve purchased a Genesis framework update for my website, a new theme from 316 Designs and a few other technical things that I hope will help as I begin writing again.  In the beginning, you’ll probably see some changes when you log in, but I’ll get it done eventually!  Then again, I may be the only one here!  

You’ll see some categories that will eventually be written and developed with photos of projects I’m working on – like sewing & quilting, family history & genealogy, Our Iowa Home and Sweet Home Chicago.  Hopefully, one of these days, there will be a category for photography.  I literally wore out my last camera – a Sony.  I have hope for the new one.

It’s amazing how many “technical” changes there have been in the last two years in the world of blogging…not for the better either.  I found a plug-in that took me back to the original work sheet that looks familiar to me.  It’s not that I mind change – I don’t.  It’s just that the new one had no visible way to add photos that I could find…and I love to add photos!

Three years ago, we leased our first vintage apartment in Chicago which we had for two years.  A year ago, we purchased a condo there and have enjoyed decorating it.  We’re especially enjoying being close to our sons and their families.  I love it when we’re there and we get to pick up two little granddaughters from school!  I especially enjoyed my time with them this summer having Grandmommy Camp!

I’m loving this sweet journey home we’re on.  It’s hard to believe that Doug and I have been married for four and a half years now.  So many adventures and fun times together already…and we’ve only just begun.  From now on, I will take the time to blog about some of those adventures.  By the way, take a moment to read the new page entitled Cam.  On the sidebar on the right, you’ll see a header “Pages”.  Scroll down to the one about Cam.

If you’re still out there by any chance, please leave a comment. Of course, first, I must figure out how you can leave comments on this new blog!  😉
