It's like this...

About a month after my father passed away

I decided to change the look of my blog, 

which was originally named after his newspaper column.

Judging from the way it looks, 

I suppose I was in a dark place at the time.

Then I stopped posting. 

Partially due to a loss of interest as I grieved

partially because I was getting married in the July

Also

I spent a lot of time helping my mother... 

keeping her company,

helping her prepare for a move from their home of over 30 years in the midst of an Ontario forest 

to an apartment she had chosen in a small town nearby 

A few months later I decided

to leave this blog as it was and start anew

I began blogging again

under the banner snapendipity

Life went on, I got married, 

Mom had bravely learned (and mastered!) computers and the Internet 

and was thrilled to finally move into her new digs!

Mom visited my blog weekly and she loved it so much! 

The last time I saw her she had me show her how to put my banner 

as the wallpaper on her computer.

Sadly, she passed away ten months after Dad

and only two months after getting into her apartment.

snapendipity 

has been a little scattered ever since...

but I am hoping to get back to it in the very near future

so please feel free to hop over there

for a visit...

You are also welcomed to take a stroll through these pages

they are actually light and cheerful

despite the overall look of the blog itself :)

*Note: I have noticed that some of the photos on this blog have disappeared.

I am not sure where they have gone 

but apologize for the gaps
