Been gone too long...life just gets so busy!!

Well it has been three months since I have posted on my blog. I hope to get back to blogging on a more regular basis, but time will tell.

I had a wonderful Christmas holiday with family.  Nick was home for 3 weeks and we all had a great time together.  He got to spend lots of time with his niece, Emma.

January arrived and tax season began. Ashlee (daughter) has been working with us for the last 3 years and has decided to go back to school to become a dietician.  I told Jeffrey I could work in her place (what was I thinking, I am supposed to be retired) but really I don't mind.  He is pretty good about letting me off when I want.  I still go to rughooking once a month and even get to go thrift store shopping with Ginger and Sandra. Just not as much computer time as I used to have though to blog and talk with my ebay group.

February came and I went to Lenexa, KS for the Rock Creek Hook-in with Ginger and Sandra. We left on  Thursday, Feb 24 and came back on Sunday. We stopped in Americus, KS to see Betty's new studio. It is awesome!!!! If I can find the pictures Sandra sent me I will post some. Betty did a great job painting and decorating. A nice cozy place to spend the day stitching and rughooking.

The hook-in was great. We saw JoJo and met Chelle, both members of AAPG(an ebay group I belong to). Lots of vendors and great wool and rughooking patterns  to be had. I said I didn't need any more wool or patterns, but there were a few pieces of wool and patterns that called my name so I just had to buy them....(( - :

Already the middle of March and I am wondering where the last two months went.  Nick was home for spring break and just went back to DC last Wednesday. Had a nice visit and even the weather wasn't too bad. He got to get in a motorcycle ride while he was here. Emma had a great time with her uncle. He was amazed at how much she had changed since Christmas.

I share an antique booth space with Ginger and so my time for creating is usually late at night and on the weekends.  After April 15, maybe things will slow down a little.


I keep Emma (granddaughter) during the week, too. She is 8 months old and has been crawling everywhere and already trying to walk. I told her she just needed to wait a couple more months for that milestone, but I don't think she is listening to me.  She and I spend time at the office together while Ashlee is in school.

Well that's about all I can remember for now. I guess that is why I should post at least once a week. My memory isn't what it used to be. 


Happy St Patrick's Day!!!!


Blessings.....patijane

    Emma is adorable - I noticed the same thing as Betty - is Stormy that big or is Emma that petite? Glad to "hear" from you - sounds like your life is full of love and laughter! (But then again you are always smiling!)

    Betty & Joanne, Stormy is a big cat, but Emma is petite. I think the angle that I took the picture really makes him look large.
