The days go marching on

Wow - such a long time since I last wrote.  And an interesting collection of happenings.  We had a really lovely Christmas holiday with DS and wife and Baby "B" and DD and her 3 sweet ones.




There were lots of homemade gifts - which is always so special,
New napkins for the motorhome.



Tasty meals together.  It was terrific.

Meanwhile the doctors discovered that I was having some health problems.  So surgery is scheduled for next week.  All that means is that my little missives may be a bit more sporadic.  But I am getting myself organized with some hand-work projects to bring along with me.
New Year's week-end was a stay in the one of the former officers' homes at Fort Warden in Port Townsend.  What a terrific time we all had.

 One quick trip to Goodwill and I found this batik-style fabric.  Perfect for a back.
And a little center for a baby quilt with Peter Rabbit panels.

We'll chat again soon.

We have some challenges for 2012. Rob scheduled our walking race around the 21th of januar. He's busy with a 10 yard track through the livingroom and diningroom. Maybe Elaine can do the same; ). hugs Caro
