This is the little wall hanging I made for my Chiro's office. I had given him a fall one and they have it on the wall in the reception area and he wanted something for winter now so he offered to pay my to make him another hanging for the same spot. I hope he likes this. I did some pieceing, some applique and some machine embroidery on this. Then did some free motion stuff with some fancy threads. The picture does not do it justice but did make one of my friends (I won't name her, OK Hester?) said it make her chilly in California. Saturday, January 23, 2010

Well for goodness sake, I can't believe that it has been this long since I posted on this blog. Soooo, I will try to catch you all up with my news. Christmas was pretty close to finished on the 20th of December for us as Jody and Todd decided to go to Gilbert for Christmas eve and day so we had Christmas the weekend before. We celebrated all day Saturday and Sunday. Then Christmas eve we had dinner at our house with Rick and Gavin and then went to their house to open presents again. Then off to church and home to bed. Good thing for old people like us. We can't do so much celebrateing any more. Christmas day was spent with ourselves and Rick, very relaxed and fun.
Then the weekend came and we had to start to pack for vacation. We left on Mon the 28th for Mission, Tx arriveing there on Weds. the 30th. We got to Mission at 2:15 in the afternoon, unpacked our bags, got back in the car and drove to the golf course. We golfed 6 times in 6 days while we were there. Also got a little side trip on foot into Mexico, went to South Padre Island, and went to church at Our Lady of Gaudalope church. That was interesting. Someday you will have to ask me about the dogs and llama in the church.
On Mon the 4th we golfed in a scramble in the morning and then headed north to the San Antonio area. My cousin rented a condo in New Bruenfels and we spent a couple of nights with them. We also got to see a cousin of Norb's while there. Had a great time with them but on Weds the 6th started west to Mesa Arizona to visit with our friends John and Marion. Had another great week there. We golfed with a couple from there church on Mon but Norb golfed 4 times while we were there. We also did a little climbing and hiking and walked during the day. Also got to go to a quilt shop when Marion was teaching. We visited all the great hang outs while we were there. Like the Bernina store, JoAnn's, Hobby Lobby, a bead store, and the Quilt shop at least 3 times. On Thurs the 14th we headed back east and then north. Took three days to drive but got back on the 16th about 2 in the afternoon.
Back to routine from there. Tues I volunteered at our local school and then had to catch up on things like grocery shopping and gym workouts and nails to be done. Then we will not talk about the two days I spent running up and down the basement stairs getting laundry done.
I think I may have gotten to the caught up point but then had to make a wall hanging for my chiropractors office this week. And also had to get together a power point presentation done for church this weekend. Tonight I presented that as a part of the homily. It was about a project we have been working on for Venezuela.
