Sorry if I haven't commented much lately, I've been a little behind on my blog reading. Trying to catch up today. Easter was a milestone for me since we had the kids over for the first time in over a year. All the adults here have been vaccinated... so we felt it was time (besides, I really needed those hugs!)
Then we had some 'plumbing' problems that needed attention... and not having the use of your kitchen sink is difficult.
On top of that, one of the female feral cats in our yard (we call her Olivia - female Oliver Twist - as she constantly comes back to the door wanting "more please?") showed up with 3 adorable kittens (one black, one black & white, and one Siamese). They look about 6 weeks old.

I also had a video of them playing, but for the life of me could not get it to post on my blog...
And I've now been on my 'gluten-free' trial for a bit now and it's not been too difficult. I have cheated on occasion... had a piece of Strawberry short-cake at Easter, but in general the gluten-free products I've tried (Canyon Creek bagels, Good Thins crackers, King Arthur GF pancakes, Schar pizza crust) have all been good. I haven't tried the Barilla pasta nor the KA measure for measure flour yet.
And that pretty much covers what I've been up to. Oh, I have also been working on the "Time After Time" sequel. Have completed about 46 chapters... and may 'possibly' be able to finish the storyline by my self-imposed deadline of May. But then the editing will start... (I'm still amazed at the orders for the book that come in from Amazon each month... not a tremendous amount, but still a steady flow that makes me smile.)
The weather is beautiful here... although the weatherman is threatening some severe this evening. I'm really hoping it will pass us by. No one needs more to worry about these days when life in general is beginning to feel good again.
Find the little things that make you happy (or someone you know happy) and do them today!
Make some brownies!
Call a friend!
Tell someone you love them!
And thanks for reading my ramblings...
Hugs (virtual),
