My , it's been longer thatn I thought . The end of the year got away from me. I did not bake or anything for the Holidays. My daughter got back safely from deployment. hubby enjoyed the "Tiger Cruise" He was in the unique position of understanding their work and the planes after working on them for so many years. I finish afghans to send to my sister for the Highland Manor and scarves for her and family. ( my only handmade gifts this year). My # 3 son and his wife were out for Christmas,but # 2 son and his wife missed the get together.
I have made seeveral trips to San Diego with daughter for an on going problem. She had Ulnar Nerve surgery a couple of years ago. Things went well for a few months ,but now almost 2 1/2 years later she is in constant pain. Somthing is not right ,but the Neurologists say things look good. The Therapist says her strength in the arm is improving, guess what folks ,the pain is still there. She is frustrated , I am frustrated watching and wondering why they don't take pictures to see what is happening inside. I want to yell and strike out. It's a Mom thing I guess.
About a week ago ,I finished a granny square variation afghan to go on the back of the couch in Colorado .
Any folks , guess what since Dec, we have gotten all kinds of new furniture. Living room, dinning room and family room It's amazing and lovely and comfy and yeah ,I guess we were way over do.
We have watched a new man take over the big white House in DC and I admit I'm not a supporter. He has so little experience in the ways of the world and who did he bring in to help ,some other folks that I don't much care for ,but it is what it is. He will need all the prayers and good thoughts he can get . I feel so out of any loop,but imagine what seniors older than me feel . Scarry .
I hopr that maybe this year my girl may find time to show me how to add pictures of my projects .
You know that fella that I went to San Diego with to meet the ship. He fits right in with this family. He has the goofiness and he seems comfortable with us. I think he's a keeper and I think my Heather thinks he is too. They really compliment each other. They aren't afraid to to be silly together and they try very hard to take care of each other .
Another event coming up this year, Youngest son is getting married in August. All my babies are grown up. What an amazing thing to contemplate. It boggles the mind .

Have not decided if I have goals for this new year or not. I guess I will bring my jewlery supplies back from Colorado since there will be no move anytime soon and I may finally get the courage to try the polymer , after all I do have the supplies and have had for some time.
enough for now . I wouldn't want any one to go blind catching up
