I hope the New Year is finding you happy and healthy. </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">I am sitting here in our office, creating a To-Do list for the coming months, and trying to refocus my creative energies. I've got lots of new patterns I want to try; home improvement projects I want to accomplish; and new techniques I want to learn. I think as a creative person, I need to constantly challenge myself with new ideas, and as a home owner, much to my hubby's dismay, I am always thinking of ways to improve our 1830 colonial home. I am looking forward to tackling more of those projects this year.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">I've also decided that a calorie counting and exercise routine is in order. During the Spring, Summer and Fall, I don't usually have a problem, as I am constantly busy in the yard, and most days walk about 3 miles or more back and forth puttering in the yard and gardens. Winter is a bad time, so I am determined that this Winter will not get the best of me!</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Our grandchildren are growing by leaps and bounds....spending time with them makes me so happy! Below is our annual Christmas photo on our stairs.<br /></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Peter turned 11 on Dec. 21; Allie turns 11 in March; Joey is 8; Elena is 7; Todd is 6 and Grant & Nicholas are 3.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAz_y1TEzIEPykHBfMSNBfeeCXBx2Y051m9xgE4K85PGIZ3iqjTYEW67F1Z6e4LRIHwAvhgMtsCXVdDXmHgjO4C6HMCb8TmNqTewtcMIHWwZ7ymdTxs15B7puEUo8y8_7jEiMY9tbSkc0VdR3q9RCe6MA0T2qBBGoUCU5CwRfyIoutwG1drhbUj0MDCro/s2048/414686592_10160924721378879_7292185085485978011_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAz_y1TEzIEPykHBfMSNBfeeCXBx2Y051m9xgE4K85PGIZ3iqjTYEW67F1Z6e4LRIHwAvhgMtsCXVdDXmHgjO4C6HMCb8TmNqTewtcMIHWwZ7ymdTxs15B7puEUo8y8_7jEiMY9tbSkc0VdR3q9RCe6MA0T2qBBGoUCU5CwRfyIoutwG1drhbUj0MDCro/s320/414686592_10160924721378879_7292185085485978011_n.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: georgia;">What are your plans/resolutions for the New Year?

I recall when I have a kid, running around all Summer, the days were long and full of fun. Now, I can't seem to find enough time to do all the things on my list. But, alas, I do manage to plug along and at least get to the important things. </p><p style="text-align: center;">This Summer has been more wet than dry. Most of August was a washout, which was quite disappointing after spending nearly two weeks on the Outer Banks of North Carolina, enjoying the heat and sun. The grass has simply not stopped growing all Summer long...we usually get a hot, dry spell, when it slows down and we don't have to mow every 5 days, but oh no, not this year, and for the first time in as long as I can remember, I am so tired of mowing and trimming! The rain has been good for the garden, and it has been nice not to have to drag the hose around the water all the time....so pros and cons....I can't complain about the Summer. We had a nice vacation, we got to take the kids and grandkids out on the boat many times, and we have all been safe, happy and healthy!</p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSD-Z3WM9Uu4XrunAO2elL1CI2qMz3XslvvvOR-NZNnk7BCIHU9a5oz3tUfyZgrsrFfAbv_H8S9A9kE3ILltn0p033MYL0NmWzH6nZNfYWYtB6farbFkG4SVlHB7khPh29OUHgfyFy4ozD1k88bPb_WLNADmNQ78QflmcJL5RydrKkm4EZARbpP4MkHpg/s2048/366829748_10160679263148879_516472610322027100_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSD-Z3WM9Uu4XrunAO2elL1CI2qMz3XslvvvOR-NZNnk7BCIHU9a5oz3tUfyZgrsrFfAbv_H8S9A9kE3ILltn0p033MYL0NmWzH6nZNfYWYtB6farbFkG4SVlHB7khPh29OUHgfyFy4ozD1k88bPb_WLNADmNQ78QflmcJL5RydrKkm4EZARbpP4MkHpg/s320/366829748_10160679263148879_516472610322027100_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5MBxVS0NcKzf4ShroksQgVFzCvj6RFz2SlcbBvRkVWD5wV7cJjKMXLVHl0c6-iEumta8T3l6QzXMW4DUIfGAmYYFtY9ASxe9NOwV2WSr0vmIBHMwI7yj9S1IRxOVpefyRinaiTl91UZjAmExVs86cmMk4QqCCy2rbzTUp-o_ytDlL-fiU0GzAH2Q55vw/s2048/366839500_10160679263783879_3207186165548942332_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5MBxVS0NcKzf4ShroksQgVFzCvj6RFz2SlcbBvRkVWD5wV7cJjKMXLVHl0c6-iEumta8T3l6QzXMW4DUIfGAmYYFtY9ASxe9NOwV2WSr0vmIBHMwI7yj9S1IRxOVpefyRinaiTl91UZjAmExVs86cmMk4QqCCy2rbzTUp-o_ytDlL-fiU0GzAH2Q55vw/s320/366839500_10160679263783879_3207186165548942332_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8JuOgcKhTFaAgEYg4keFqSNJYjkg-yjSk2N3BpSFv1YDf_8cIuqT0WJ9uMwTDgRg8v3J3iFgBQpquant8-bFDuTpFPwE4pxgmGD57k0PzMVldL0Mjw51HtDj7Fa_R9lzHTBrz3UNuwLVymCTzR5thAegT78_JiqanyjpPXprhm6dLpAkBk_UCQJ0pKyA/s2048/366840498_10160679263688879_8541013863198199784_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8JuOgcKhTFaAgEYg4keFqSNJYjkg-yjSk2N3BpSFv1YDf_8cIuqT0WJ9uMwTDgRg8v3J3iFgBQpquant8-bFDuTpFPwE4pxgmGD57k0PzMVldL0Mjw51HtDj7Fa_R9lzHTBrz3UNuwLVymCTzR5thAegT78_JiqanyjpPXprhm6dLpAkBk_UCQJ0pKyA/s320/366840498_10160679263688879_8541013863198199784_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></div> I've been quilting and crafting away in between it all, and am excited to begin Fall and Winter goodies.

Life gets in the way many times of what we would wish to do, but today, after a long, hot week, we are back to cooler temps and cloudy skies, so I am catching up with a few things inside.</p><p style="text-align: center;">Once the weather gets nice, I am often outside working in my yard and gardens, pulling the weeds that seemed to grow, despite winter cold, and raking away the leaves from the oak tree, which never fall until winter. I'm planning new garden projects, cleaning the chicken coop, clearing brush and browsing seed catalogs for Memorial Day planting.</p><p style="text-align: center;">Hubby has had some heart issues since the beginning of the year...lots of tests, monitors and appointments, and we still are not certain if he will be needing a pace maker. Please pray for him and for his doctors. Most of the time, he is feeling fine, so I do thank God for that, but we do need to get to the bottom of his issues.</p><p style="text-align: center;">I had three of our grandsons for most of last week. The weather was hot and lovely. We visited the zoo, played outside, planted potatoes and few flower seeds, went on a hike with their other cousins and our final outing on Friday was mini-golf and ice cream. Saturday, we had our lovely friends, Paul & Eileen over. We took another hike with them, went to a local yummy bbq place, and then came back to our house to sit on the patio and bask in the warmth. I had made a tasty little treat for our dessert, and I would like to share the recipe with you now! I did tweak the recipe that I found on Pinterest, based on what I had, and it still turned out very delicious. <br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b>No-bake Lemon Berry Dessert</b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b style="color: #351c75;">For the crust:</b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b>2 c crushed graham crackers</b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b>4 T sugar</b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b>1 stick of butter, melted</b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><i>M</i><i>i</i><i>x these ingredients and press into a pie plate or 9x9 pan.

Sorry it has taken so long for me to post once again.</p><p style="text-align: center;">October has, like the pretty autumn leaves, somehow fluttered away from me. The weather, however, has been beautiful during most of the month...a well deserved 'Indian Summer' after a rainy and cool September. The trees have been spectacular this Fall....such brilliant colors of red, orange and gold. Our Gingko tree is particularly stunning with it's bright gold....but alas, the change is upon us, and the rain and wind have come at last, taking off what leaves are left on the maples, redbuds and oak.</p><p style="text-align: center;">We've had a full month of fun and chores. I had to watch lil Grant for a week, when his sitter's child was sick. It was fun but a little exhausting, chasing a 2 year old around for a week. He is a real character though, so it was a pleasure. During that week, we went on a 'field trip' with our other grandsons and their Mom, who home schools the boys. We went to one of my all time favorite Fall hikes....Taughannock Falls State Park. I snapped quite a few pictures while we were there.....</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2zvAuIC7RTdG28gp2t0BHlThReXrWRzXTf3A9MmfUoQGP_dj4mv4XZ2TaxqQfDnaBRITS_cOQVn5ojHvrS6Oyy0SOZ8oR_wI_FtWPjZBDk73wV_VKlQY1M_8ecgcu83EZz63H4lOLhvgv4mOE6s8twWCDePmR24ELQC0bYTFX-gOoQe47ddX-VfjX/s2048/310299981_10159989045538879_1368534678877804814_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

It seems strange not to see her face, and I hope that, despite the sadness of the occasion, her passing will bring the royal family closer together. It did seem that Charles was clearly moved and I pray he will lead the country in the same humble way as his Mum.<br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">Time marches on, and the official start of Fall is just a couple days away. The time flies by so quickly. I used to love the beginning of Fall, with the beautiful leaves, pumpkins and crisp apple cider...this year it seems so bittersweet though, as the one year anniversary of the sudden and unexpected death of my dear brother looms near. Every beautiful day makes it even harder, as he used to love hiking with his wee puppy. He enjoyed exploring new places, geocaching and drinking in the beauty of God's creation. Although he wasn't particularly religious, I do pray from him daily and know deep down he felt that connection to Him who gives us all things. The memories I hold in my heart will have to do, until I can hug him again...</p><p style="text-align: center;">But, as I said, time marches on, and we do have so much to be thankful for...a lovely home, health, a beautiful family all around. Sundays are our family days. In nice weather, we take the pontoon boat out, swim and sun, and fish. When the weather is less cooperative, it is time for games or just visiting. The grands always love to get together, and one of the most requested activities this summer is going down to our creek. I have shared photos before, and most likely will bore you with more...it's just the way of things...lol. Our life revolves around family and these grandchildren...I love them so much! They are a joy to our lives and keep us active.</p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjP21xKJ_DD7vIMQ3RI6foxqbaZXpejkA7jrRrPS6kGH-U1h04qRXAYKllvzJjDjfTQmk3uLzIawrQromLyPWe9LhMqJB_-gNwjArWp_d_A5D3nYRLgpFmUv3JSTfUUVteBnl9AhPXvueH4w8tkpz7lDmi3DbXOOWJeH9rULWu0Uyugj189KAQrEa6O/s459/7.jpg" style="margin-left: auto;

Summer is such a busy time of year, that I rarely get a chance to sit at the computer and check into blogland. We had a very hot and dry Summer, with little appreciable rain until the last couple weeks. <br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">Mowing, gardening, outside projects, and now produce from the garden are keeping me very busy. Add some overnight visits with the grandchildren, and this is one busy Grammy. In between times, I try to squeeze in a little quilting and crafting, but all in all, my sewing room has been vacant most of the last few months.</p><p style="text-align: center;">We didn't take a vacation again this Summer. With the completion of our new garage, the hubby and I have been so busy with landscaping and wiring, putting up walls for his workshop...the list goes on. We have managed to take the pontoon boat out several weekends, to enjoy time with our boys and their kiddos.</p><p style="text-align: center;">I guess the best way to convey my Summer is by a montage of photos...so here goes!</p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2qvYQOjDCa8N_oah81xiZKlF7TcxnN6V-TWW4-7VdoosbOPX7EAfBH4It65B1o1Cj8FiOCUoP3gDI5E_yLLb77mQBYp0Ovo_3286Wnr9JhrixNdzejYiwFkxN62Koba1Yg2DghSlPd1VnpAcW_Im-e1TcpPVeAqQ35mSS-l0Hi_2xovLVp229PjeR/s400/4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="300" data-original-width="400" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2qvYQOjDCa8N_oah81xiZKlF7TcxnN6V-TWW4-7VdoosbOPX7EAfBH4It65B1o1Cj8FiOCUoP3gDI5E_yLLb77mQBYp0Ovo_3286Wnr9JhrixNdzejYiwFkxN62Koba1Yg2DghSlPd1VnpAcW_Im-e1TcpPVeAqQ35mSS-l0Hi_2xovLVp229PjeR/s320/4.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Air show with Drew & family<br /></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4rKkpYLZ-J7JLxM-l2xWSMp5nbUp4UJyrC5gnKMFcZ_mmh_bfI9oBUad-NYJ6gJjFCwslRiwWruQY-IHXWiQq3n_Xu8Xr5ytuNNdF0G3GybZdyPumawl3WB7MggRyQvvk_q9o8o_O28dpSK8ZfUCNYWT4s70EtMFI3068IA_smiRbrf1m2DE3JzBl/s400/5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="300" data-original-width="400" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4rKkpYLZ-J7JLxM-l2xWSMp5nbUp4UJyrC5gnKMFcZ_mmh_bfI9oBUad-NYJ6gJjFCwslRiwWruQY-IHXWiQq3n_Xu8Xr5ytuNNdF0G3GybZdyPumawl3WB7MggRyQvvk_q9o8o_O28dpSK8ZfUCNYWT4s70EtMFI3068IA_smiRbrf1m2DE3JzBl/s320/5.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">My first attempt at pizza on the grill...yummmy.

I was hoping to get out and continue landscaping around our new garage, but that will have to wait. Perhaps a run to the fabric store is on the list today. Speaking of fabric, I've been trying very hard to finish up the piles of quilts I have worked on over the last year. It's fun to piece them, but the quilting is my least favorite part. However, I managed to get 6 done in the last month or so! Yay me! Here they are! I really love doing wool applique on cotton. I piece during the day, then stitch by hand in the evenings, while watching Britbox mysteries with the hubs. lol<br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

In the past I have made many yummy ice creams, but orange has never been one of them. I pondered how best to go about it, did a little Pinterest searching, and using a combo of ideas and my own experience, I made up the following recipe. We have an electric ice cream maker. I simply mix up my ingredients in a regular mixing bowl, put the frozen bowl onto the ice cream maker, and turn it on. I then slowly pour the ice cream mixture into the rotating frozen bowl, and ta-da...about 20 minutes later the ice cream is the consistency of soft serve, and I move it to a tightly sealed bowl and freeze for at least 1/2 a day before serving.</p><p style="text-align: center;">A few notes, you can use your juice for breakfast, but make sure it isn't from concentrate! It takes quite a few oranges to squeeze it fresh, but it is worth the effort, and you really do need the fresh orange zest. Be certain to zest your oranges before you juice them...it's just easier that way. I chose to not add any artificial coloring, but if you want your ice cream orange, you go ahead and add it. I personally like the look of the zest peeking out of the creamy white ice cream.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuhG3f1_kPuP_DAUrZUqaIaPDodLvR5qbbIP6oC6CyJxh9NnSyAcaw3sTtoWvDI0cTpUCSQvnYNU_ei5vzE3bltCMs-9XOeHppN5jRCOoIydwmadESKAc9806foDPrpVF8yT7Hyk6UG5zyknw_cg5ou9Rkn6BY8reJUGPOk1QBg_36Pb4vdiS-xXTc/s600/Orange-Dream-Ice-Cream_Alt-Image.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="375" data-original-width="600" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuhG3f1_kPuP_DAUrZUqaIaPDodLvR5qbbIP6oC6CyJxh9NnSyAcaw3sTtoWvDI0cTpUCSQvnYNU_ei5vzE3bltCMs-9XOeHppN5jRCOoIydwmadESKAc9806foDPrpVF8yT7Hyk6UG5zyknw_cg5ou9Rkn6BY8reJUGPOk1QBg_36Pb4vdiS-xXTc/s320/Orange-Dream-Ice-Cream_Alt-Image.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><p style="text-align: center;"><u><b><span style="color: #e69138;">Joey's Orange Chip Ice Cream </span></b></u><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">1/2 cup of freshly squeezed orange juice </p><p style="text-align: center;">3 T freshly grated orange zest</p><p style="text-align: center;">1/2 cup of fresh cold half & half</p><p style="text-align: center;">1 cup of fresh cold heavy whipping cream</p><p style="text-align: center;">1 cup of sugar</p><p style="text-align: center;">5 T dry orange jello mix (or more to taste)</p><p style="text-align: center;">a tiny dash of vanilla extract</p><p style="text-align: center;">one bag of mini chocolate chips (dark or milk chocolate)<br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"> <br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">Place all the ingredients (except chocolate chips) into your mixing bowl and whisk until the sugar is dissolved. Go ahead and stick a spoon in at this point and taste the mixture. If it isn't orange-y enough for you, add a bit more of the jello mix. Once it is to your liking, fire up that ice cream maker, and slowly pour the mixture in. </p><p style="text-align: center;">Now comes the hard part....waiting. Let the ice cream maker do the work and once it is to a soft ice cream consistency, turn of the machine and transfer the ice cream to a tightly sealed container, lightly stirring in the mini chocolate chips. The ice cream will be very soft, but it will harden up once it is in the freezer. Take a piece of plastic wrap and lay it on top of the ice cream to prevent ice crystals. Place in freezer for at least 5-6 hours, then scoop out a big portion and enjoy!</p><p style="text-align: center;">I was so pleasantly surprised at how this turned out. It seems like it would be perfectly delightful and refreshing on a warm Summer day.</p><p style="text-align: center;">Let me know if you give it a whirl!

I was so enjoying the mid to high 60s last week. I worked outside doing lots of garden clean-up, pruning my grapes and fruit trees and stoning some muddy spots in the driveway. It was glorious and I cannot wait until the warmer temps return. <br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">The weekend before, we took a hike with son, Drew and his sweet family. There is a nature preserve nearby and we had a lovely afternoon hiking, chatting and enjoying a huge flock of red-winged blackbirds.</p><p style="text-align: center;">One of Drew's boys, Joey, gave up sweets for Lent, so I told him that I would make him whatever he wanted for our Sunday dinner. He chose orange ice cream with chocolate chips. Now that is a combo I have never made before, but it turned out delicious, and I will be sharing that recipe in another post later this week.</p><p style="text-align: center;">So, for now, I leave you with photos from the last couple weeks, and hope that you have a chance to get out and enjoy the lovely earth our Lord has made, as it Springs to new life!</p><p style="text-align: center;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

It's hard to believe that it is nearly the end of January already. </p><p style="text-align: center;">I wanted to update you on what's been happening here. The weather has been cold, but we really haven't had much snow. I am hoping that because we have had so much cold in January, that we will get our January thaw in February.</p><p style="text-align: center;">We had to take my Dad to the hospital last Wednesday. He hadn't been doing too well the few days before that....weak and frail. Wednesday, he was particularly bad, and we were genuinely worried about him. He was very agitated and out of it in the emergency room. They did tons of blood tests, urine, cat scans, chest xray, and even an MRI, but they said they wouldn't find anything wrong. It is frustrating to say the least, because SOMETHING happened to make him so weak and unable to communicate well...I think a stroke, but there seemed to be no evidence of that. Whatever it was, they have given up trying to find out and are suggesting nursing home care. I know that it is the right thing to do, but it still isn't easy. But, neither was caring for him here in our home....it was becoming unmanageable and so very stressful.</p><p style="text-align: center;">My brother and I spent the day yesterday starting to go through things at his house. It has been empty since my youngest brother had died in October...such a sad thing to do, but in going through things, we were reminded of forgotten memories, which brought smiles to our faces. It is a daunting task to go through the house that was our home for so long growing up, and the base of many a family get-together in the past. We are hopeful that the house can stay in the family, but time will tell.</p><p style="text-align: center;">Dad put so much work into the place over the years, completely transforming it from a run down, nearly abandoned place, into a loving family home...and my Mom, oh, she worked countless hours putting in lovely gardens...it would be a shame to lose it.</p><p style="text-align: center;">But whatever happens, life goes on for us. Our new garage is finally completed, after years of planning and hoping. Hubby still needs to start wiring it up for lights and the garage door openers, but it's been so cold, and we have been so busy with Dad, that it will have to wait a little while longer. I am already planning landscaping around it....always nice to have something to look forward to come Spring.</p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

As long as we are happy and healthy, I am thankful for each day!</p><p style="text-align: center;">However, this year of 2021 has been especially trying for us, and I will be happy to see it go.</p><p style="text-align: center;">Of course, Covid made a big impact on all of our lives, and while a few in our family managed to catch it, we had minimal symptoms and are extremely grateful for that.</p><p style="text-align: center;">My Father's fall in August, and the subsequent illnesses and, eventually, caring for him full time in our home, has been a huge change in our lives. He requires 24 hr supervision, and help is minimal at this point, so we are pretty much stuck at home all the time, with an occasional respite here and there...but never for long. The stress and problems of caring for my Dad are ongoing and at present, there is no end in sight. I find that I cannot even find time to be in my sewing room to create, or do many of the hobbies I have enjoyed in the past.</p><p style="text-align: center;">The worst part of 2021 was the sudden death of my youngest brother, and the pain from that continues. But, I know he would want us to be happy and celebrate his smile, adventuresome nature and love of the great outdoors and his wee pup, Bella.</p><p style="text-align: center;">All in all, I will be very glad to see 2021 come to an end, with hopes and prayers that the coming year will be easier on us all.</p><p style="text-align: center;">I apologize once again for a 'downer' post...it's the way of life right now. I do so hope to have a more cheerful attitude in the New Year.</p><p style="text-align: center;">May God bless you all!</p><p style="text-align: center;">HAPPY NEW YEAR</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiht2mAuyfqouTgTAllf8_jWi_eLVFG1nZBL195TwVF_5dZxzdLPRT9Zuj9eo1jaDRIh90hMlI6jm19six0wwq0bSzULtGv-5XTQ7cIpd7ZVHiue02wMegU3u3U-P9sufnoDRdzye0lIzopam-wYvMrq5aOdfYFAwdXOxGU14-WV9qtDuGU45mpE_Ah=s750" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="470" data-original-width="750" height="201" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiht2mAuyfqouTgTAllf8_jWi_eLVFG1nZBL195TwVF_5dZxzdLPRT9Zuj9eo1jaDRIh90hMlI6jm19six0wwq0bSzULtGv-5XTQ7cIpd7ZVHiue02wMegU3u3U-P9sufnoDRdzye0lIzopam-wYvMrq5aOdfYFAwdXOxGU14-WV9qtDuGU45mpE_Ah=s320" width="320" /></a></div><br /><br /><p></p>Wendy @ Ravenwood Whimzieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02377008070208243305noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6424212335635436938.post-37070217340669131092021-12-22T15:27:00.000-05:002021-12-22T15:27:49.068-05:00Merry Christmas!<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dwELgaJaZZg7eVYx2_is7Oz3-IFBaIoArcPvav_NYCIE7J3V4QU81StA2ZUkeu9Y13wbzLxG3-pICiu_vPaLA' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div><br /> <p></p>Wendy @ Ravenwood Whimzieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02377008070208243305noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6424212335635436938.post-40376889393538956382021-11-29T16:04:00.001-05:002021-11-29T16:04:44.674-05:00Life goes on.....<p style="text-align: center;"> The last time we visited, I told you of the untimely death of my 47 year old brother....sudden and shocking, and the hurt is still real, but time has a way of marching on.....</p><p style="text-align: center;">Thanksgiving came and went...with an empty place at the table....now Christmas prep is in full swing, and yes, keeping busy does help the pain.</p><p style="text-align: center;">I have been creating and decorating.
