Taking a Blogging Break...See you Mother's Day Weekend



It's time for Wives with Knives to take a little break from blogging.  I have a new great-grandson, born on Valentine's Day, whom I haven't met, and I am helping my mother adjust to life after my father passed away recently.  Everything is going along well, but big changes take time and I want  to be available whenever I'm needed.  I'm going to Chicago in a few weeks to meet great-grandson, Kemper Matthew, then my daughter and I are going on to Paris for a short vacation.   By the time I return home my farmer's market will be ready to open and, hopefully, life will return to some sort of comfortable routine.  I will miss all my bloggie friends so will stop by to visit you as time permits but won't be posting again until the farmers' market opens on Mother's Day weekend.

 Happy St. Patrick's Day to you all.

    Good morning Cathy. Congratulations on your new grandson! I am sure it has been a bit difficult lately, helping your Mom adjust to her new life. I will be thinking of you. So excited to hear about your trip to Paris. I so wish I had gone when we were in Europe!!! Enjoy your break, your visit to see your new grandbaby, and of course...Paris!!!

I'm sorry about your father, Cathy, and I pray that you are able to help your mother. And I'm happy about your new great grand! That's wonderful.
