Hopefully someone noticed I hadn’t written in a while. Between it being “that time of the year” for me and life, I just didn’t make time to come over here. But, I’m back. You can all rest easy now! Because I have lots of minutiae to share. That’s right, I just used “minutiae”. Aren’t you glad I’m back?
Look! Pretty new background, new categories, a blogroll! It looks like I’m getting more serious about this blogging business. In some form or another, I’ve been blogging since January 2006, but it’s been fairly haphazard (everything from web journals to MySpace and Blogger).

He wanted to know when he would be a “Smith.” That’s how the conversation started, with Nicholas asking when he was going to be a “Smith” like the rest of us. William and I started having conversations about him adopting Nicholas before we even got married. We went back and forth mostly because we were…
Hey Sherry, I was drawn to your website because you have widow on your profile on twitter. I guess you’re really a “former widow” since you’re remarried again. I too, was a a widow and have been remarried for 2 years. I think widows need to read more stories like ours, to know that joy CAN come back. Congratulations! Cindy
Cindy ~ Thanks so much for visiting! I am so fortunate that life has taken the turn it has (and I’ve made the choices I’ve made). It sounds like you’ve been blessed too!
