Is It Morning Yet?

Well, this neglected blog took cues from Sleeping Beauty and dozed off for over a year. (As if I could just so easily blame the inanimate website…)

Actually I think the blogger of this blog, yours truly, lost all heart for blogging for a while.

Maybe it was the economic downturn or the winter blues that kicked it off.

But a sad personal loss followed.

Then a piping hot summer.

Autumn found me starting  a small home piano lesson  studio.

And then this blog’s biggest fan (just look through a few old posts for comments from Nene and you’ll see what I mean) lost her short battle to cancer.

Frankly 2009 shall be known as the year I was at a loss for words.

Recently I realized, although I didn’t tell you about my adventures in 2009, I never stopped having them. Kenny and I hit 3 out of 5 of Texas’ top BBQ spots. My sisters and I celebrated our big birthdays in San Antonio. I downed the finest example of onion rings EVER at the Varsity in Atlanta. We beat the summer heat at some of Texas’ coolest springfed pools. And snow and lightning robbed me of my summit of Pike’s Peak in Colorado Springs.

Though I look the web over, I don’t find many bloggers telling you these important details about the great sights here, there and everywhere. So I’m dusting off the old keyboard and warming up my typing fingers.

Get ready. Dixie Gypsy is waking up.
