Almost a Full Year

It has been almost a full year since I have written in this blog, and our other blog, There and Here, has also taken a break. Sometimes the online world seems to be too much when your real world also has a lot going on. This year has had a lot of ups and down (I suppose every year does, but this year in particular has been a real roller coaster for me). I have been back and forth to Canada twice, and I am finally back in the Lowveld now after an extended summer visit there. My parents will be in South Africa in exactly a month today and it will be their first visit here. A lot of exciting times ahead, so I am hoping we have jumped over most of the hurdles that life has thrown in our way this year. Besides, "a calm sea does not make a skilled sailor."

So with that being said, I would like to return to the online world. It may be slowly, and infrequent, but I will do my best.
