MAJOR CATCHING UP!!!

I really have some MAJOR catching up to do! I have not posted on this blog for about five months! When I first started my blog, I never thought I'd go that long! Once the holidays got underway, I was super busy, then the first of the year came, and I have been absolutely swamped with my duties as President of Junior Woman's Club since that time! Work got busy for awhile too, so with all that going on, I just let the blogging go for awhile!

Fast forwarding to May, 2009 - my year as President of JWC is almost over... on Thursday, May 14 I will hand the gavel to my successor. It's been a good year for JWC all in all, and I've enjoyed having the honor and privilege of serving as President. Soon I'll be a Past President, and I'm looking forward to that! Seems hard to believe - seems like I just recently took the gavel and started my year - time sure flies!

I've been blessed greatly in the last few months to have made several awesome new friends... and to have kept busy and have a lot going on in my life! And through Facebook, not only have I connected with new friends, I've reconnected with old ones - and people I have not seen or heard from or talked to in years! Facebook's been so awesome for that sort of thing!

I just came home today from our GFWC-SC annual convention down in Mt. Pleasant.. a great time to see/reconnect with woman's club and Junior woman's Club friends from around the state... always a good time! Tiring long weekend, but a good one! Now I'm off to bed shortly because I'm going for the day tomorrow (Monday) with my mom up to Cherokee, NC to Harrahs' Casino for a little fun! Leaving early in the AM.. then leaving there around 5:30 or 6 to head home.. Fun fun time! Those special times when Mom and I go off on one of our little adventures are priceless!

Dennis kept busy while I was gone this weekend - doing some yard work and planting some new flowers in our flower boxes.. everything is started to look great! And with this warm weather now, I'm about ready to relax on the deck with a Smirnoff Ice! Yum!

Well, off to bed in a few - wanted to FINALLY catch up with my blog - I'll try my best not to let five months lapse again - in fact, I need to start posting every week again or every couple days! And maybe, at some point, I'll find some more pictures to post too! All the ones I have on there right now are getting old!
