When the going gets tough, the tough get off the internet and take a break. There was a time when I couldn’t imagine not blogging, but we needed a week, and then a week more, and then another week off. But we are still here and we are back… July has sneaked past us, and so did eleven years of blogging… not to mention we have another teenager in the house. Hood number 6 leapt into thirteen with her typical finesse and style.
