Where Have I Been??????????

I have been extremely busy. Going here and there.

In October, I was in Utah for a family funeral. It was so nice to be able to see all of family, and friends of my step mother. I am so lad I was able to go visit while she was alive in June.

I miss My stepmother a lot. I miss our conversations on the phone, and all of the stories of the past that she would tell me. I had a special relationship with her. No One will ever know just how close we were.

I have to grandchildren now. See what happens? A lot happened since I have been gone.

The grandchildren are ages 10 months and 5 months old. Both are girls. They are as Cute as can be.

I plan to start blogging again.

Have a great weekend and a fantistic next week.

Where Have I Been?

Sorry, it has been so long since I have posted anything. I have had so much going on.

In October, my nephew commited suicide. This was so horrific. My younger son found him it was just horrible.

The end of October, my stepmother fell and broke her hip. She has not faired very well.

Things calmed down for a while. The holidays were nice. Then In Feburary my stepmother fell and broke her other hip. She has not been doing well at all.

My heart goes out to my sister Lis. Lis is going thru so much and puts up with so much from other family members.They do't realize how much she does. Lis is the only one taking care of my stepmother. My stepmother does have visitors, but my sister Lis is the one that is at the Rehabilation Nursing home all the time.
I am to far away and can't get there to see her. My heart aches for my stepmother and my sister.

I am planning a trip to see my stepmother and Lis very soon.

Thank you for sticking in there with me. I am back.

Now for April, 3 weeks ago I got a promotion at work. 1 week ago we were told they were Right Sizing the company, and I got a demotion. Whats that about. Yesterday they laid off 7 people in my department. It was horrible and sad.

Today I hope is a brighter day.

I want to thank Chronicles for my new Blog LOOK. It is just fantastic. If you would like her to help you with a new look please go to her blog and let her know.


Sorry is this was a bit of a sad post, but I promise they will get better.

THank you again for sticking with me so long. New post to come soon.

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY SISTER DEAR

Where Have I Been? !

I haven't been posting much lately. My life has been consumed, with a new adventure I am embarking on. However, I am back to blogging and I am looking forward to sharing with you all, as I punk down this unknown road.

I have started selling candles. The company I choose to sell, is called Partylite. They have numerous products, not just candles. There are so many things I love about this particular brand of candles. The scents that are available are vast. Not only do they sell the candles, but they sell candle holders, in hundreds of different styles. Some are whimsical and romantic and others are trendy and sleek looking. That is what drew me to this particular company.

I do enjoy selling Partylite Candles. They are expensive though, and that is a draw back. However, I have been a candle lover for years, and never have I found a better burning candle and especially ones that come in all different sizes and shapes, . In all the different scents and colors. That is what sold me on them.

The main picture on the top of my blog now, is called “Ruby Red Hurricane” . I chose to design my blog around the Christmas theme, because they have a wonderful catalog that I am drooling over, that is especially designed for the Christmas season. With the bright season just around the corner, I am trying to get organized and ready for the whirlwind.

Now, don’t misunderstand me, this blog isn’t going to be all about Partylite, but… since it has become such a big portion of my life, I will mention it from time to time. If you are interested in purchasing a product, hosting a book party, ect. Please let me know.

I am scared about starting my own business. I’ve only had one show so far, and it was fairly successful. I have to *Put* myself out there, so to speak, and it scares the wits right out of me. On the other hand, I am looking forward to cultivating my OWN business and seeing if I can get it to flourish and grow.

So, join with me and help me celebrate my new endeavor!

Back from Vacation

Well it's been a while since I have posted. I have been out of town visiting family. It was a great visit.

I was visiting my sister Lis, and the rest of my family. What an awsome trip. It was fantastic.

Seeing Ethan was great. He is growing so much and is getting so big. He is so handsome, and so special. There is a lot going on for him, and he is very special.

It seems that most of the time when you go visit family there is some kind of family feud or some kind of problem. But this was a fantastic trip. I got to visit my stepmother and my mom, and all but 1 of my sisters. (she lives in another state). And My 1 and only brother

My brother got married while I was there. (reason for the trip) What a different wedding that was. It was beautiful though.

I hope to be here more often now that I am back. Thank you all for stopping by.
