My New Year's resolution

                                   One new resolution

My new resolution for the new year is to blog a little everyday.  I have things to say as much as everyone else does.  I am starting a mystery quilt with Pat Sloan, that starts on January !st.  I put a button to it on my blog, so if you want to join you can too.  it is free and you do not have to use her fabrics you can just pull from your own stash.   I promise to write things everyday about taking care of an elderly person.  My dad has moved in with us, and it can be a challenge.  He has some short term memory problems, so, repeating myself can be a little unnerving but it is doable.  I plan on doing a little bit of sewing everyday.  I also have Fibromyalgia, so, if anyone else has that we could keep in contact about what works better to help keep it under control.  But Frankly I want to write inspiring things, upbeat things, things that make us all feel better, wherever we are in the life cycle.  Everybody has mountains to climb or valleys to get out of, that I am sure of in life.  But if we can live with joy in our heart we can get through even the hardest of ordeals.  So, my resolution is to try and help people feel good each day!!!

Wow I need to write more often

Wow I can not believe that it has been 2 years since I last wrote something.  I am going to try and fix that and write more often.  My life now includes my hubby, MIL, who now is living with us and 5 doggies.  Four labs and a dachshund and right now 1 kitty which found us.  She is just so cute.  But since she just showed up she had a bit of a problem.  She had 2 bot fly larve inbedded in her neck.  Which had to be cut out.  I had to do both of them and it was gross!!  The vet told me how to do it and it just had to be me who had to do it!!  The vet then gave her some antibiotics when I could get her to him.  She is doing much better.  She might have a neurological problem is what the vet said but we will have some time to figure that out.  She kinda holds her head to one side.  We are not sure if it is because that side of the neck hasn't totally healed or another problem.  Time will tell.  I also have a bunch of chickens outside.  I like them.  they are so funny sometimes.  I have a couple that have feathers that stick right up in the front.  So cute!!
I am also working on making little dresses for africa.  If you could help a bit too this is the URL.
