Be Back Soon!

Dear Reader,

Thank you for sticking around. We have had a whirlwind year! One more grandbaby was born in April far away, whom we will meet soon. Another grandbaby was born right here in Texas in June. My daughter had an unexpectedly difficult birth, and I was able to be there for a while to help wherever they needed help. A son was married in August, and a daughter will be married in November. So by year's end, the current tally will be four kids-in-law and four grandchildren. After eleven children, I've decided that marriage and grandbabies are my favorite ways to grow our family. And I just LOVE every one of these new family members. God has been ever so kind to us.

Also, I've been on a social media hiatus since May. And the internet silence has been good for my soul. It has been good for me to just listen to the Conversation and not talk. It has been good to gather my thoughts on a number of issues without all the noise. It has been good to think without speaking.

But I do have a number of blog drafts I have been working on. And I plan to start posting again in the next week or so.

Anyway, I'm still here.
Be back soon!
Love,
Noel
