Goodbye January!

We will all agree, January was a tough month due to the cold and snow.  We have survived it though and now onwards and upwards, longer daylight days.  

What have I been up to?  Daily knee exercises, visits to physio, the knee is coming along but slowly and I don't do well with slow.  I finished putting together my last rag quilt, just the clipping of the edges to do.  The Bakers Dozen courses I'm taking on zoom, last weeks was wonderful.  Lara Wellman taught us about hooking trees and bark. ...


Keeping Warm

There is a country song by Tim McGraw that talks about living every day like it is your last.  In theory we all agree, but in reality, we don't always practice.  A sad event occurs that reminds us to try to be the best version of ourselves every day.  Live life to the fullest, eat that gosh darn cake for breakfast if you want to.  Life can change on a dime.  Embrace and enjoy the now and tell those that you love that you love them, don't wait.

Have you been...
