All Who Wander Are Not Lost

I've wandered, but I'm not lost. 

I haven't forgotten about my neglected blog. 

I've been 'missing in action,' though, for awhile. My Mom
 passed away and months have flown by faster than I could imagine. It's spring again and melancholy thoughts pop into my head when I see yellow roses that I know she loved or hear a song she used to sing along with on the stereo.

  

A dear friend asked me if I had plans to blog sometime soon. 

Guess she missed reading my posts! College Girl is writing up a storm as the semester finals approach. Handyman is chipping away at his Honey-Do List and keeping us stocked with groceries and household supplies. I'm so happy he does all the grocery shopping! Haha! I can't stand walking around a freezing-cold grocery store with dimmed lights and elevator music playing. 

As for me, I've been slowly working on reorganizing my craft and sewing room. I've also discovered Instagram! I've never been a big fan of Facebook, but I really enjoy seeing my Instagram feed. I like being able to see photos of Old Faithful in the morning, pictures of Yorkshire and Iceland in the afternoon, and end the day with a gorgeous Hawaiian sunset before bed! Of course, College Girl is responsible for my introduction to Snapchat and Instagram, and I'm glad she prodded me to try them. I enjoy Instagram so much that I now have two accounts; one catch-all account with tea, travel and day trip photos and the other includes my 'outfit of the day' fashion pictures.

I found a tea themed adult coloring book the other day at TJMaxx.

 I was in such a hurry to finish my errands when I picked it up and got in line to buy it, that I didn't realize each page features a bit of Scripture. What a nice bonus! And the great thing about finding it at TJMaxx was that it it was only marked $5.99.

 Later that day I made a cup of tea and toasted a Pop Tart to enjoy while I colored in my new book. Our three-year-old Norwegian Forest Cat thought it was a great idea to join me. He isn't one to jump on furniture or counters, but the sight of me 'scribbling' with colored pencils was just too much for him. 

He needed to see what I was doing!
