Where was I? It’s been a while since I wrote on this - busy with work, kids, kittens, life. Y’all know how it goes. On February 26, 2023 I can see where I chatted with my half-sister by text. Around 1:30 in the afternoon I messaged her to say I hoped she was having a good day. We talked about the weather where we each live and she sent me some photos from where she was living.

Then the next weekend we had over a foot of snow. I'm in the south and we don't do that kind of weather. It's fun

I have been a bit all over the place lately! First, my youngest and I got involved with our local library's friends group last spring. After being in the group for a few months, I talked them into letting me take over their instagram page.
