I’m so happy to be back in Connecticut, but so overwhelmed! I still haven’t had a chance to fully unpack.
My nice new next door neighbor came over with this lovely gift basket with her two children. Little Artie, her 3 year old son, seems to love me as you can see in his card. On the reverse side, he also loves my husband, too! He’s been asking for us for the last 5 months.
I want to apologize for letting my notifications disappear. I promised to drop by at least weekly, but with weeding, starting only some of my flower seeds, shopping for essentials, visiting friends and family, appointments, landline phone problems, starting up services, dealing with the good and the bad, including my nosy copycat neighbor across the street, etc…….., I just don’t have the time until everything settles down for a bit.
Hope to see you soon and more often!

Sounds good. Once you get adjusted to being back you will probably have more time.

Glad to see you back!
I am also back here after many days.
Life has seen tremendous changes
Good part is that Indo-US interaction here is still strong even with the best of the intentions of your great MAGA Prez.
It is so bad on part of Noble Peace Committee not to give him Noble prize for stopping so many wars !
Anyways, nosy copycat neighbor means that you could be up with some "exciting" / "challenging" everyday tales!!
I have one question- that might sound silly.
I believed that you used to stay in NYC and then moved to Florida.
Is Connecticut the place where one of your son lives?
A few years back, I was hesitant to ask such questions.
Now, I am less restrained!!
Have a great Friday ahead !

Glad you're home safe and sound. Too bad theres always the problems that surface but hopefully those will be dealt with and gone in no time.
I just thought ot something, those copykat fools can't follow you to FL, so they only get to see you for the summer .... hmmmm, I'm trying to think of something funny you could do just to see if she follows suit but I confess I iz stumped.
I was thinking maybe you could set up a slip n slide just to get her attention then invite her to slip??

Just now
Thank you! Hubs had an emergency dental appointment, but he’s good. The two visits and multiple phone calls for our landline are fine now. Hubs fixed our mailbox post that the snow plow knocked down. Half of the shrubs have been trimmed. Grass was replaced where the trees and stumps were removed. Managed to plant some flowers and herbs, but still need the garden turned and more weeds to pluck or kill..
Funny about my copy cat neighbors. Her mother was in the window watching me trim my roses. To let her know I saw her watching, I have. And she waved back! 
Her copycat daughter saw my neighbor come with the gift basket while we were all outside. And two days ago, saw me give my neighbor a pair of unworn, beautiful leather pants and a gorgeous pair from Italy. She actually decided th check her mailbox just so she could get a better look and listen to our conversation. She waved a lot, but I just raised my hand in one tiny wave and ignored her. So far she copied my orange tops that I wore last fall and put out flickering solar lights like mine, but in a different color.
I could go on and on……
