ABSENT WITHOUT LEAVE!!!!

Yes, I admit, I’ve been absent without leave from blogging….I can give you excuses but I’m sure they wouldn’t be of interest….let’s just say life has gotten in the way!!!!  I wish I’d been doing the tango with my mystery man, but alas, not the case!

Interestedly, several of my friends and followers asked me, in the same day if you please, if I wasn’t blogging any more…that gave me a knee jerk reaction that I actually have people who are interested in what I do.

What has been going on, teaching, of course…83EB0CEB-342D-4612-A048-DD3C0F961479

I am also doing a monthly fashion book review for The Fashion Map.  A blog you must put on your list especially if fashion is your passion.

The last in-depth post I did here was on the first of my new series of book discussions at my Independent Bookseller The Book Stall next up in April…

Finally got my home back to being my home and have been doing a bit of entertaining, one of my favorite things to do….

I’ll try to post more on a  regular basis….if you have topics you might like me to delve into don’t hesitate to let me know.

Until next time….stay well and know Spring is on its way!!!!!!!  Cheers, my dears….
