Coming Out Of Hiding

I've been cocooning for the past few weeks. Hanging out with Sweetie and the kiddles, working on the house, picking berries, making jam, knitting--just chilling.

My dad's health has declined a lot in the last month and it's very depressing. I'm not "depressed" technically, but the whole thing has definitely got me down. I'm going home in mid-July to see my parents and siblings, which will make me feel much better I hope. Or it will make it much more real, which will make me feel worse.

So I'm sorry if I haven't been returning emails, updating my blog, or talking on the phone. I still love you all, but I just haven't felt very social. But that needs to change so I'm opening the blinds and heading out to pick currants.
