My poor neglected blog

Let's try this again...
      Well, as you may be seeing, I am here, despite evidence to the contrary (on this blog anyway).
Praise God for each and every day.

Psalm 118:24

New King James Version (NKJV)
24 This is the day the Lord has made;
We will rejoice and be glad in it.


  
  Let me show you some of the "stuff" of my life that has been keeping so distracted ...

First off is the addition of this little girl. She came to us January 11th
from a rescue in N.Carolina www.lovingpups.com . Her name is Avery Arwen and she is a "puggle"(beagle\pug mix). I call her a "buggle" cause she looks more beagle. 
Soon after Avery arrived we had to say goodbye to our dear sweet "Buddy"
He had a reaction to flea drops that resulted in our having to have him put to sleep.
This was truly sad for our family and came so unexpected.
I still miss having a kitty and hope to welcome a new kitty face to the family later this summer.

Next we were buried in snow! With a record breaking storm in February!

Our growing pup.
Fast forward to May 21. Avery had a certain little surgery and had to wear this lovely collar for 10 days. What fun.

Meanwhile I was also kept busy singing with The Southington Festival Chorale. Our spring concert was May 5th and we had a second combined concert with the Cheshire Symphony Orchestra on May 19. I thoroughly enjoyed this. We sang a large portion of "Vivaldi Gloria";"Non Nobis Domine" and portions from "A Portrait of Gershwin". I felt privileged to perform two of the solos from this: "My Man's Gone Now" and "The Man I Love".  I look forward to resuming rehearsals for this year's Christmas concert.
I think this post reflects the mixture that my life has been (aways is).
I hope it doesn't come across too disjointed.
