Things have changed, greatly.

I've put off posting for several reasons, but the two main reasons I haven't kept up with this blog are that Becca and Brandon are not living here at the moment.  It took a while to get used to, but things are good in many ways even though I miss them both.  No one wants to raise 35-year old children that still live with their parents.   Both have to finish their education and pursue the careers they dream of.   That doesn't mean they won't be here from time to time, or someday live here again.   I fully support their decisions in pursing their individual careers (Brandon,  snowboarding in a Colorado ski resort is NOT a career).    I'm sure they don't miss my motherly concerned not-quite-nagging, and I don't miss the various existential crisis that would occur weekly with one or both of them.   It was a great year, an even better summer, and now on to the next segment of life.....which also means I should change the title of this blog.
