Happy New Year! ! !


Peonies at Butchart Gardens, Victoria, Vancouver Island, Canada

Sorry I have been MIA for so long!  :)  I had several things I had planned on posting about, but . . . well, life happens!  I may still try to get some of those posts done, even though some of the events were wayyyyy back in August! 


Flowers at Butchart Gardens, Victoria, Vancouver Island, Canada
Anyway, this post is to say . . . I am still here!  And to thank every one of you who has hung in there with me this past year!  I truly appreciate all your support and just really, really love reading all your sweet comments . . . otherwise, it is just a bit boring talking to oneself!  ;)        . . . so . . .  THANK YOU!

I think we can safely and happily say good-bye to 2012 with all the tragedies we have watched unfold.  Let the sun set on the year.
