So we survived the great square shutdown. What did you do? I tweeted a little (yes, I still tweet - you can find me at @tracisstar) and wait for it… went offline and worked on my house,I painted my son’s room.

Like so many, I was reminded that that I wanted to exist beyond the white squares. I started in blogging and this space was always mine. And it’s about time I came home. This is my place. You are always welcome here. The kettle is on. It is not perfectly clean, in fact, it may be a bit of a mess, but it’s my mess.

So as a certain French candelabra sang some decades ago, “be my guest, be my guest.”
