When you've been blogging a while, you come to recognize your visitors' names and eventually start to feel as if you know them. So when you're gone from your computer for as long as I've been, you start to miss everyone!
I've been without my computer for a while bc of some issues I was having with it, but I think I finally have it back to where it will meet all my demands again. Maybe. And while it was in the shop, I was in Kansas with Mike and Sophie, trying to get his parents' house cleared out. It was a productive trip, although sad at times. (I was fine until the last day, as Soph and I were looking around the empty living room. She quietly stated, "I said goodbye to Grandpa in his bathroom." Her voice was so sweet and lonesome-sounding, and it was then that I finally cried.)
Anyway, I've missed you all! I've spent most of the weekend printing and packaging and getting caught up on my photography blog, and this little complimentary chart is the last order for the day. I hope you like it!

We've missed you, Paulette!!! Checked in daily but no Stewart family stories.
Sophie's such a precious gem. What a sweet, soft gesture.

welcome back! We missed you too. I imagine it must have been very difficult for all of you when faced with all those memories at your inlaws'.
Thank you for the sweet chart.

I've missed you [and your posts] too, Paulette.
I think that there is no easy way to clear out a family home - what ever the circumstances. Maybe it was a blessing that you had no computer for a few days.
Thanks for another lovely freebie too, you are a sweetie

Hello Paulette,
I've missed you too, and I'm glad to hear from you again.
So sad to leave Mike's parents' house so empty.

Oh Paulette, I missed you too. Thank you for the wonderful design. That would be so perfect for so many things. I'm going next to look at your photography. Take care of yourself. Hugs, Cathryn

Wow! I'm sooo happy to see you posting. I was really beginning to get worried. I was thinking you were either away or having computer issues. But there was this little voice in my head that was worrying still...hoping and praying that nothing had happened to any of you and yours.
I cried when I wrote what you said about Sophie saying good bye.... breaks my heart!
