Friday, January 9, 2009


Boy, it has been a long time since my last entry here. But then a lot has happened in that time. The real biggie was my father's unexpected death last July, which in retrospect took a lot of the wind out of my sails. Later in the year I had to have surgery, which although not major, took its toll on my very-much-less-than-perfect body too.


I finally finished their 60th anniversary crazy quilt, which of course my father never got to see, but Mother is very pleased to have it. It hangs in her entrance hall, so visitors to the house can't really fail to see it. She says they all exclaim at it, all in a very positive way. She herself, of course, isn't even the tiniest bit biased. This is not the greatest photograph - it is very difficult to take a good picture of a large-ish piece when you don't have the right equipment and fundamentally haven't a clue what you are doing.


Now it is 2009, where do the years go? I really must be more disciplined, decisive and dedicated.


I hope anyone who reads this likewise has some resolutions, and has a happy time carrying them out (or not - as the case may be).
