Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, martini in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a ride! - Unknown

Happy New Year 2009

Happy New Year! Hoping all of you enjoyed your Christmas holiday and had a safe, wonderful start to 2009. My good news is my Mom was transferred to rehabilitation on Wednesday afternoon and started therapy this morning for 2 1/2 hours. I'm hoping she can come home in the next few weeks when some of her strength returns.

Stitching wise, I'm hoping to complete my first finish tomorrow. My reindeer ornament is coming along but with Mom being released from the hospital, and putting together clothing and toiletries to take to her, I didn't have a chance to finish up today. I was quite pleased with my stitching results in 2008 - 23 finishes in one year which was a new record for me. I'm looking forward to participating in the ornament challenge with several ladies from my stitching groups, participating in a Blue Ribbon Designs SAL, and working on some of my personal goals in stitching. I am finishing up the scarf I have been working on and then I have another scarf I need to make for my son, Ray. Of course, it will be green because that is his favorite color.

Great news about Mom being out of the hospital! At least she's much closer to home now and you don't have that 40-mile drive!

Happy New Year, my friend!

Love,
Beth
