Hope everyone is into the swing of the new year... me? still working on it. The winter weather is lovely here. Murphy has enjoyed having the slider open for a time...good to get fresh air in.
Yesterday We Tres Amigos went to Barnes and Noble and I bought Primitive Quilts and projects magazine. The felt applique bird on the cover caught my eye. Also to make it home with me is a book, Day by Day written by Sister Stan ( I have not heard of her). It is a "treasury of meditation on mindfulness to comfort and inspire". We all need that about now. We then went to Alan and Lisa's favorite "hang out" place. We enjoyed a few appetizers and a drink sitting out on their patio. Then it was home and I enjoyed a dish of ice cream!
Look who is hanging on my ornament tree....Mr Blue Jay. I am really happy how it turned out. Alan commented that he really like the shade of blue.
Often in the past back in Rhode Island we hand raised robins. A great feeling to save them and set them free. Not sure what will fly in next but it feels good to be able to create again. I love handwork. Needle and thread in hand....
Today I received a hand written thank you note! I know, so old school and I loved it. Thank you cousin Norman. Reviving and maintaining connections is so important. Keeping new connections is right there too. I still enjoy hand written notes/letters. If you have been a follower for a time you might remember the year of card exchange..was fun and was so nice to receive mail that was personal.
I am feeling a bit off today with a cough and I am trying to catch my nose but it runs fast! Definitely going to be a slow and relaxing day. Happy to chat with you today.Thank you for your kind words and for your friendship.
