    I know, I know ... I haven't updated in a long time! I've been reminded several times, by various people. ;)

    Just returned from a wonderful two-week vacation — Colorado Springs for a week, then a few days with my mom and stepfather at their lovely lake house in Sunrise Beach, Missouri (it's right on Lake of the Ozarks). Also got to see my stepsister, Traci, and meet her husband (Dan) and see their munchkin (Holly — just adorable!!!). Had such a great time!! We got a bunch of pictures developed today, but my scanner is slow, so don't hold your breath ... but in the meantime, I made one of those quickie Photoshop galleries with some of the digital shots from Colorado and Missouri. :) Pictures are here: clickie! It's done with frames — just click on the thumbnail or caption to the left to see the larger picture on the right. Most of the pictures are from our hike up Mt. Cutler in Colorado Springs, but the last ones are from our visit to Lake of the Ozarks, where Michael learned to fish.

    So there's a quick update! Everything else is great here ... I really will update soon, with details. I changed jobs and everything!
