Promises . . .as promised

I know I'm bad, possibly the worst blogger in blogland! 

I make promises and fail to honor them

but, I will try to make amends today. (can you feel me kissing up yet?)

Remember this? 

Well I finally have new pictures to show you! 

Remember how a cat had attacked her backside

   

After a little spit and polish for the frame, drop cloth for the upholstery, and the professional upholstery services of Kingston Fabric, she is ready to make her debut!

 Thank you for your patience with my more than sporadic posts. I just want you to know I love and appreciate you all!

not my family . . . too perfect :)

True to form, I never get to post as often as I like.

LIFE just seems to always get in the way. Some, of you might know from reading my blog, that I have spent the last 20 years raising a daughter with a disability. Well, she has now "left the nest" to attend college (our hard work paid off in her striving for independence), only for me to take on the role of care-giver for my elderly parents.

Between the stresses of being wife, mother, daughter, nurse, chauffeur . . .  the time to blog gets pushed to the wayside. Instead of posting, I would much rather read what all you are up to.

Any way, remember this? and this?

Well, she is back and much, much better! As soon as I can get the pictures done, I'll post her!
Oh, and I'll show you some goodies I got for $4 total at a local estate sale.

Have a great weekend, and thanks for sticking with me !

Here's a bit-o-green for luck, and a bit-o-bling to make you smile.
