yeah, i've been off in Karen land ...

just wanted to pop my head in and say hello. and also to apologize if i've kind of blogged a bit too personally, lately. it's not what the blog is about ... i mean, it is about me and my life, of course, but i prefer to talk food, homesteading, the simple life and all of its many shining (and sometimes shining under a layer of dust) facets. but i guess cultivating your inner peace ... well, it all ties in together. still, i feel like i've been overly personal. not that i think any of you are offended ... i just feel a tad embarrassed about it. i guess this is my sounding board. sometimes, i blog, and then i have different thoughts that pop in from who knows where, and realize that's what i should be blogging about!! but then that's just really so close to my heart that to see it in print would just kind of cheapen it. oh, here i go again. let's just say things are a bit topsy-turvy outside the ordered file cabinets of everything else in there. i should be back tomorrow for a real posting, and i have tons of new pictures. stay tuned. happy friday. it was popcorn and peach pie night for dinner here!

out for a drink and home to read Twilight (it's really good!).

peace to you and yours this weekend, and always.
