Carter, you are so incredibly kind! Can I just tell you how affirming it is to be missed? I truly didn't mean to fall of the face of the earth...it just sort of happened. Adelpha is right, I am busy trying my hand at organic gardening and let me tell you, eating healthy is a full time job with all of the planning and food prep it takes.
Anne was good enough to alert me to this thread; thank you Anne!
Since it appears a few of you aren't absolutely bored senseless with the way I wax on and on about my 10-item wardrobe, I should put a post together about my S/S "collection" (that was very tongue-in-cheek). By nothing less than a miracle of God, I was able to find 5 dresses, all at consignment stores, that pretty much met my parameters. I had to compromise a few points, but in the end I am very happy with them. Added to that are one skirt and top combo and one clam and shirt outift from previous seasons and I'm right at nine. That leaves a little room for a bit more shopping, but honestly I think my favorite watering holes are all fished out.
More on this later, right now I've got to get grocery shopping and figure out something to take to a pot luck tonight.
I've missed interacting with you all, but I do lurk every couple of days, so hopefully it won't take us too long to catch up. Love you all!!!!
