a confession & apology.

please accept my apology for having gone missing the last week.

i am deeply sorry.

to be completely honest, i thought i could sneak away for a few days and still stay connected with you all and the blog world. i had every intention, i promise! but, much to my surprise, i was able to unplug and to tune out the rest of the world and focus on the few things that really matter - my first class family, sunshine, umbrella drinks, mr frederickson, gazebos & the always important afternoon nap.

however, i have missed you all greatly and couldn't be more excited to get back to my real (and cyber) life in vermont. and in an effort to get back in all of your good graces, the next 48 hours will be full of the blog posts that i have missed - top 10 tuesday, wine wednesday, comfort food thursday, plus a few other treats i have waiting in the wings.

it's so good to be home.
