Hey friends!
Have you missed me? I have certainly missed you.Life is good, though. You know me well enough to know that I’m either on an airplane or elbows-deep in tomatoes. I’m still writing and working on projects – just not publishing anything. I hope to be back at the end of summer.
In the meantime, please check out a new and wonderful blogger –Middle Sister Kathleen.

Stop in and say hello – tell her that MamaMick sent you. xo
