I just can't get over here to blog. Too involved now with Facebook, where I post daily, photos included.
Sorry, readers (if any of you are left.)
There's just more interaction over there...and I need that. FB is the first thing I log onto every morning to see what my friends and family are up to and to keep them abreast of my daily life.
Don't know when I'll be blogging again......

On NellJean and Hot Tubs
It only takes one. One new reader with encouraging words. "Just blog. Blog about everyday life." Thank you, NellJean. I needed that.
So here I sit in my winter condo on Miramar Beach in the Panhandle of Florida watching football playoffs for Super Bowl 2011. A perfect day: Breakfast at Another Broken Egg, biking in sunny 56 degree weather, sunset cocktails, dinner out, football playoffs...and it isn't over yet...later, midnight hot-tubbing.

Happy New Year 2011!
At the urging of a couple of blogger friends, I'm back. But I need to find a focus about which to blog. I just reread my last year of posts, and even I am bored.
To fill in the missing time, I've been in Atlanta for three months, renting a little unfurnished apartment near my son's family, which I had fun furnishing with a few Craig's List items and Goodwill finds. To think I made three trips, a week each, to the North Carolina furniture malls to furnish my newly-built house back in the '90's only to give half of that stuff away when I downsized twelve years later...not the best financial move when I discover that you can find some really nice stuff on Craig's List...especially dining room furniture, some of the most costly to buy. I happily discovered I didn't need that much and lived simply with a bed I'd bought for my son's guest room, two little nightstands I found on Craig's List, a borrowed TV, and three chairs, two chests in the living room, a few lamps, and silk plants and picture frames from Goodwill (.99 - 4.99 each.) Didn't even need a table and chairs for those months!
If I can find a focus.
I don't really want to do the random thoughts thing anymore. I'd love to do an "all travel blog." I blogged a bit about the Panhandle when I stayed the winter there last year, and about my son's area in northeast Atlanta, and about my city condo and suburban place. But I don't really "travel" anymore. Did a lot of that in my 30's and 40's, and now prefer to "relocate" during the winter months.
Also blogged a lot about my biking passion. But haven't been able to bike the last couple of months here in Atlanta, as it has been way too cold.
Tomorrow I go to Florida.
Maybe I'll think of a longterm topic there.
(If you are still reading me, I wonder why....just a glutton for punishment? But thanks, glad you're here!)
