Carrie, I loved we retired here and not down where it was *hot*, and even though I hate cold weather it will change and I can dress for it. Love it here, not where we worked for many years in hot weather year around. Love the four seasons, growing up in Iowa, guess it just calls to me, that my heart is here forever. (Ok, we are close to Iowa, just over the border by eight miles) Yes, we are all getting older, not younger, and has we age, we lose a lot of ability to care for ourselves and mobility of getting about, too. It is a blessing that younger members of the family step up and care for the elderly in the family. People are living longer, too, so what is old???
Mirabelle, you may hit more than 36 quilts this year, since you posted the first one barely into the first month of the year. Another amazing, beautiful quilt finished.
Anael, love your chicken quilt and your quilting...you too are beginning early in the year, racking up the numbers of things you finish for the year.
Keep warm and safe, folks.
