for being absent for so long.  I just haven't had much to talk about of late. Plus, I've been spending as much time as possible with my new dog.

I am getting ready for the summer relaxing and entertaining season.  My new hammock has arrived and is awaiting assembly. The party tent arrived today.  I won't be setting that up until my first outdoor party, scheduled for June 6.

In the meantime, I'm scheduling time away and other entertaining opportunities for the summer. And I'm scheduling assorted craft projects.  I've even started to think about some Christmas gifts. 

We'll talk about all of these things here on the blog in the next few weeks, but posts will likely be just three times a week through the summer.
