I finally have a proper website, but because I am a writer and a crafter, I am not sure what will be the final look or content of my website, so please bear with me as I find my way through.

Having a picture in your mind of your book and the relevant information and it becomes a movie in your head.  So it seems right when you see a picture taken that seems to be a photograph from your mind. This picture was on my cousin’s timeline and graciously allowed me to use it. Anyone who has spent time at the lake knows how a picture such as this can give you a pause in your day and remember a time when you could sit here and enjoy nature.

How quickly we get used to wearing masks, sanitizing our hands before and after shopping and social distancing. Or do we?
My anxiety makes me nervous if there are people to close to me, not wearing a mask or if there are too many people. The mask makes it hard to breathe, but the fear of COVID-19 overrides my wish to not wear a mask. So much information with the internet churning out new information every few minutes. And trying to find the true news is frustrating.
Also have to make time to get outside, especially with the teenagers so they can get some fresh air and exercise. After a few months of serious family time, we all need to get outside and find some alone time. And the various four legged members of the family are driving me crazy.
The weather is not cooperating either. So much rain and cold weather is keeping me inside the house when I want to be outside. My garden will soon look like a jungle even though I have planting boxes and landscape fabric. The yard needs to be mowed and I would love to have the teenagers help out more. They do what I ask them to do, but it would be nice for them to figure it out for themselves. Maybe one day?
Renovating and crafts keep me from going crazy, but I now seem to have no motivation to do anything. Maybe just a slump?
Maybe I need a vacation, but I don’t know what from.
It’s only been four months since this craziness started and the world is still silently waiting.

When trying to keep updated in the world it helps if you can have some uninterrupted time to be online. My grandkids require time from me to drive them to appointments and the assorted dogs and cat seem to need to be in and out every 5 minutes. But I have remembered my password, found the portable hard drive and can finally start getting my website going.
