New Beginnings

It's never to late for new beginnings.........and I'm so glad!

~Spring is officially here & the arrival of daylight savings time is giving us brighter evening hours.
~We  are feeling well for the first time in weeks--both of us were hit hard by several bugs that were going around this winter.
~Mom is nicely recovered from her December surgery.
~I have ventured back into my sewing room and grandson Seth's quilt will be finished soon--before I have to add another border because he is getting so tall!
~I celebrated my birthday with my second 5K---walking but happy with my time.

It just feels so good to be back!

Till next time...

Mini-Group Day

Wednesday was the day of our mini-group meeting and none too soon!  After all the holiday festivities it was so nice to relax with my special quilting friends and see what everyone was doing--quilty and otherwise.  Seth's quilt top was shown in it's not quite finished state and I got some good ideas for quilting it.  I hope to have the top finished before my next post and also to figure out how to post photos.  We finished with lunch at a Mexican restaurant--yum. 

Welcome 2012!

It's so nice to start a new year.  2011 has been most challenging and I'm happy to be done with it.  Now it's time for new hopes, plans and goals.  We closed out December with a very nice lunch flight on Friday.  The rest of the weekend was spent un-decorating and getting the house back in order after the holidays.  I love putting all the decorations up but it always feels so good when everything returns to normal!

Seth's quilt top is nearing completion. I'm happy with it but need to finish it before he grows any taller!  A photo is coming soon.

  

Merry Christmas!
Today has been a lovely day. After the many challenges our family faced this year it was so nice to just spend some time together. This morning Ed & I were with Mom in the Rehab center. She is recovering from hip replacement surgery last week and doing well. Krissie & Tim and their families visited Mom/Grandma too before coming over for a simple dinner and some time to just relax and enjoy our time together.

Hello out there! I’ve thought about starting a blog for a long time. But now that I have one I’m staring at a blank piece of paper and wondering what in the world to write. So……..here goes—my life today.
Tonight is a little get-a-way for us. We are at a beachside RV park, have finished dinner and enjoyed a lovely wine. Our kids are on the way and will arrive soon. They tent camp and soon we will begin the annual “set up two tents by flashlight” ritual. Life is good!
