...or just me....

i am, alive and well.  thank you.

life has just been  . . .  different of late.

this blog was originally conceived to keep kidlet linked to all of the 9TS's and my goings on while she was away at school, but since she now lives at home, there seems little reason to post.  on the other hand, my blog has always been my place to be the oddish soul that i am.  unfortunately, most of what is important to me in life these days is the mental health of kidlet and understandably, she wants her privacy.  she also misses my posts.

so herein lies the quandary.  how do i blab about my life without impinging on kidlet's?

we came to an agreement.  she gets first right of refusal.  so if the blog dies a well earned death, you will understand why.

taking a totally different tact, saturday i stopped by a civil war reenactment just a few miles from home.  as i made a nest in the grass, camera in hand, waiting for it to begin, the announcer disclosed that to be fair, on saturday, the south would win and on sunday, the north.  talk about political correctness . . .

these guys were really into this!

on sunday, kidlet and little k decided they wanted to do a photo shoot down at the beach.  little k is my granddaughter, but since there are only seven years between the two, obviously, little k is kidlet's niece.  straight now?

and yes, that is one of the 9TS's shirts she is wearing.  we scrap over them like a pack of wild animals.

p.s. aren't they the cutest!!!!!!!!!
