Oh my but it's been quite a while since I posted anything.
Life happens and we tend to get sucked into it
and before you know it, it's a year later!
I ran into a few friends a couple of weeks ago and
they asked me if I was ever going to post anything
on my blog again. I was so shocked
that people actually read and follow along with my blog.
And to think that what started as a creative outlet
for me actually brings pleasure to others.
I truly am humbled.
So much has happened since I last posted.
For one, the grandbabies have grown so much.
Our oldest grandson is 4 years old and will
be starting 4-K in the fall and
the twins just turned 3 years old this week.
3 YEARS!
It's hard to believe that I have been a full-time
Nanny Granny for 3 years already.
But our biggest life changer is....
We SOLD our house!
We weren't even going to put it on
the market until next March but our
Realtor approached us with an incredible
offer we just couldn't refuse. So we had 4 days
to clean the house and stage it to show. We worked
our butts off getting it ready. But it was SO worth it.
We were so grateful and blown away by the offer.
Everything happened so quickly after we accepted the offer.
First up on our To Do list was to find temporary housing
until next year when we plan to move back home to Pennsylvania.
Although we have lived in Wisconsin for the past 34 years,
Pennsylvania has always been our home.
Then it was packing, purging and selling furniture
like there was no tomorrow.
We have always tried to keep
things organized and under control because both
of us hate clutter but it is just amazing how much
STUFF you can accumulate over the years.
Trying to find a temporary place to live during this
HOT real estate market was a real challenge for Hubby
but he was relentless and was able to find us a nice
brand spanking new place to rent.
We are finally settled into our new temporary home
as best as we want to be. We can finally breath a little
easier now. Life is slowly getting back to normal to
where I want to start being creative again.
One thing I am very passionate about is
food photography. Food unites us.
I love cooking and baking then photographing the food.
It's always food that we actually eat.
I do it as a hobby, not as a professional.
A couple of weeks ago I had baked some potatoes
and only ate the insides but I kept the skins and threw
them into the freezer for another time.
For some reason I had a hankering for
Baked Potato Skins.
So I made these.
