I think it's time to do this

After a few months of hiatus I am finally back at the keyboard and under a new name. SoCal Marisa doesn't live there any more and I didn't think it appropriate to call myself that. So then what? I wanted something happy and upbeat and something I could use often and then I remembered Granpa and his lovely goodbye saying that I still carry in my heart. It is one of those things where all us cousins smile whenever we hear someone saying it. Granpa is gone from us but he left so much behind for us to hold on to.

I suddenly found myself in a whirlwind planning a move and making the decision to homeschool my kids at the same time. It was chaos, let me tell you. But here we are and we are setting down roots in our new home. We have chickens something I never thought I'd have and we have a good life we are building here. So here it is. My new blog. I have no idea where I am going with it but let's just play for a while shall we?

So that is it for tonight but as Granpa used to say instead of goodbye, he'd say "See ya round like a donut!"
