Before I begin, I just wanted to say how very thankful I am to be part of such a supportive and uplifting blogging community.  As it was quite a tough week to get through with the passing of my grandmother, the condolences many of you sent through comments and emails really shed sunshine upon my dreary days.  I appreciate each and every one of you dear blogger friends so very much, despite the fact that we may live miles apart.  You are simply the sweetest and really know how to make a gal like me feel good.

After taking a short break, it is nice to be back and in the swing of things again.  The photos above are from my recent vacation to Hilton Head Island, SC.  If there is one thing I've realized time and time again vacationing on this tiny little island off the coast, it is that I could most definitely make my home here.  There really is something quaint and enchanting about this lush and tranquil little beach town.  I guess the next best thing would be moving to a lush green valley under an open sky and amongst tall green mountains...which is exactly where I am moving (once I actually get there).  Yes...our closing date has been moved back again due all the flooding PA has received from the recent hurricane.  Keeping my fingers crossed it all happens before Christmas...ha!

Anyhow, all this extra time on my hands has given me plenty of time to start cleaning out my closet, which feels very good.  I haven't been buying anything new either (for months now)...except for the occasional thrift purchase or gift from my hubby:)  Seems that having less stuff is somehow less stressful.  Here's to simplicity.

Well that's all for now folks.  I just thought I'd stop in and say hello and finally get caught up on your loverly blogs as I am way behind...please forgive me.

Until then, have a delightful week!

Love,
