15 Things I've Been Doing (while I haven't been blogging)

Take a break...

People take breaks all the time.  Respite.  Time off.  Rest.  Hiatus.

I'm the type of person that, no matter how much I like something, after a while I need a break.

I need a change.  Not forever, but for a while.

Until I miss it.

Then I can begin again with a new outlook and renewed enthusiasm.

I took a break from blogging for most of August and September, but now I feel like I am ready to begin again.  Because I miss it.

Here's a glimpse at what I've been doing while I've been gone.

1)  Taking pictures.

Annie and her friend Sabrina wanted pictures with their instruments...

2) Knitting a throw for Annie's dorm room.

 
3) Bringing Annie to school.

4)  Taking in the mail - for Sami.

5)  Enjoying a visit from Kerry.

6) Walking the dogs

 7)  Bathing the dogs.

 8)  Cleaning the dogs' teeth.

9)  Chauffeuring the dogs.

10)  Doctoring the dogs.

11) Going to the Norman Rockwell Museum in Stockbridge, MA.

12.  Being constantly amused by Maddie.

13)  Biking - I've found my favorite form of exercise!

14)  Appreciating God's creation.

15)  Eating, eating,  and eating at the Big E.
