This is kind of awkward.  I’m going to do my best to just pick back up where I left off and hope everybody kind of looks around and pretends they didn’t notice the exceptionally long and awkward pause between my posting.  It started with viruses, first for me and the family, then two for the blog, and then…well, it just kind of went downhill from there.  I can only offer my humble apology.  As a family, we’ve hit some unexpected bumps and I got thrown pretty far off track.  And as is always the case, I owe major thanks to Keri Caffrey for getting both me and my blog back on track after I couldn’t wrap my head around the technical issues–thank you!

I’ve also enlisted my husband–the bucket guy–to start contributing to help avoid any future lapses. He bears the brunt of the family biking load anyways, so it’s high time I put him to work blogging.

So, everybody look over there real quick while we just sneak right back in…
