I’ve been away for a bit, but I’m back and I should be posting weekly going forward.  I had my hip replaced – what a breeze.  I know the knee rehab is bad, but my hip is completely back to normal.  Anyway, what you really came for….The Royal blog.

Welcome to InKing Royalty’s July Blog Hop! This year’s Blog Hop themes are inspired by a single word – and this month our projects are centered around SUNSHINE. The Sun is the single most important source of energy for life on Earth – it guides our clocks, calendars and planting schedules. We may be enduring a heat wave this week, but we still associate the Sun with positivity, joy and renewal. We are excited to share our creations with you today! After you read my post, I hope you’ll hop over to the next person on the list at the base of this post.
