Hey!

Hi Everyone!!! Sorry it's been awhile!
Hope all is well in your part of the world!!
     If it is anything like around here it is super busy! My days have been filled with teaching my son, taking classes of my own, and working on expanding our shop!
     My Sister is back from her trip out of state! Yea! We have missed her greatly!
Mom has been offline for awhile do to tech issues, but will be up and running as soon as her new tower arrives. I've missed her too!
     This is the busiest time of the year for us, and our favorite too! As I'm sure it is for many of you as well. We have harvested, stored, and canned our crops, and began putting out all our favorite decorations. YEAH!! I have started cooking! Tonight I will be making my Hunters Stew!!! YUM!
     Also this time of year I think of how much I appreciate all that my family and friends do for me! I often show it by cooking for them! Getting quite a list of favorite Samhain brews going!
     I know there are many others out there that are as busy as I am, taking care of family, home, and working. Often times leaving very little "me time", especially in today's fast paced world. This can be overwhelming at times. More so for those who are not feeling like what they do is appreciated.
So for everyone out there that is "the glue" of their families I would like to say,
 For all the boo boo kisses, bedtime stories, words of advice, loving embraces, clean homes and clothes, full bellies and warm beds, just to name a few. Thank you for all that you do!
