Sorry it's been so long.

It was April 22 since I wrote a blog, and I apologized on that one for not having written since April 4.

Now it's May 15, so all I can do is apologize again to those who read regularly.  I know  that there are four or five (maybe more that I don't know about) who read my blog regularly, even every day.  Some of you have told me in personal emails, and some of you have told me to my face.

You are the ones that I'm apologizing to today.

This morning, I realized there are two reasons for this lack of writing, and it's not because I'm too busy.  No matter how busy I was, I always found a few moments in the morning while watching the news to write the blog.

There are two reasons why I don't write now that I thought of this morning.  The first one is that I can no longer upload pictures.  Part of my fun in writing now was sharing a few photos of all the places that we have gone and things that we have done.  Once Picasa stopped working, I couldn't get pictures to the blog.  I'm working on finding another system, so I hope to have that resolved eventually and get back to uploading photos.

The second reason is that I am not working on weight loss.  That's tragic, I know.  I am way up in weight, so much so that there doesn't seem to be any point in reporting it or whining about how I'm gaining weight now.  I am eating and rarely exercising.  So, of course, I have gained weight.  Why write about it?

This weekend we had a wonderful time on Mother's Day.  Evey and Eric flew over to NJ to attend the wedding of one of her friends, Dana, who had served as Evey's Maid of Honor.  (BTW, Dana is one of my loyal readers.  Thanks, Dana!)  The wedding was the day before Mother's Day.  The next day we all met in Manhattan for lunch and to see Frozen, the Musical on Broadway.  We even picked Lowell up and took him, too.  Eric had his mother and grandmother with him.  The seven of us had a marvelous time.  It was the best Mother's Day EVER.  I have not spent Mother's Day with either of my children in years and years, let alone both on the same day.

Thank you to Lowell and Evey for making this a wonderful weekend.  Thanks also to good friend Annette and Vinny who put us  up in their NJ home for two nights.  Good friends feel like family and we love them like family!

Today I'm at Cindy's in Baltimore with Evey and Eric.  I'm still having a marvelous time.

So that's the story.  I might try to get busy writing more frequently. I'm going to find a new way to upload photos.  Eventually, I should get back to losing weight, too.  DUH!  Easier said than done.

So thanks for being patient.  Check back periodically and see what happens.

Have a great day wherever you are.
