Barely six weeks after I turned in Mr. for a happier life, still in the recovery phase of all the doings that had led to my marital folly and perhaps needing just a bit of downtime, I-Needa did this!

I-Needa, my number one and only daughter.  Great gal.  She's had that name for my blog as we have both gone through phases of starting sentences with "I need a ..."  I thought it the perfect alias for her.

Yes, that is I-Needa looking rather joyful in the bridal shop getting ready to search for the perfect dress. It was a happy occasion, being engaged and planning for the happy event, a little something that would last all of us for a year.

I am tempted at this point to use planning a wedding as an excuse for dropping from sight on my blog. I think anyone who has spent a year planning a wedding would find it a reasonable excuse.  So, I'll just go with that.  It may not be entirely truthful, but I'll go with it anyway.

So here I am in the middle of a hot summer's night... awake... thinking about a blog I haven't touched for over a year.  I probably should click on photo booth and load a picture of me doing this, but I'm going to spare all of us.  It probably isn't pretty.

So here we are, one month and four days past the culmination of a year of planning and a day of celebrating.  I have one less thing to think about, and I'm in hibernation mode for the summer.  Perhaps it is a good time to get back in the swing of things.  Writing is good exercise.  It just may be a tad therapeutic too and will get the old creative juices flowing.

I do hope if you stop by that you will come again and even participate in a little feedback.  Linda!! Love you for all the times you did that!
