Gosh, seems like it was just a year ago that I was doing this.

In many ways this second year of casa az was even better than the first. I’ve met even more wonderful people, including two that are threatening planning to visit this summer – nursemyra and daisyfae (eep! Sevilla will never be the same!). I also had a recent visit from hmh and her husband, as well as from my dear friends Sara & Steve who were here last autumn (met on h2g2 but they also show up here from time to time).

So far I’ve been keeping up with the blog 365 challenge, though now that my real life is picking up I don’t know if I’ll manage the whole year. But I’ve actually been enjoying it because it makes me think about my day and then come up with something that happened, or something I came across, that I’d like to share or make a note of here.

Well, just to say that I’m very happy to still be here with you all.

Because it really is you guys that make this all worthwhile.
