I hope everyone had a good start to the new year. We never do anything special but, this year, my son and his wife came for dinner on the 31st. After eating, we went over a box of his old school photos, baby pictures etc. Hard to believe he was born nearly half a century ago but that tiny premature baby has grown in to a strapping 6.5" man. There visit made the day very special for us.
The next morning, we went for brunch with friends of ours. Hubby wanted to start a new tradition and, of course, it had to include food. Today, back to quilting and I came home to a very happy husband. We had received a card from his youngest. This young man has development challenges so contact isn't always easy. Considering we hadn't planned on celebrating the new year, it turned out to be quite momentous.
Did you do a New Year's Day mystery quilt? There were a lot offered and I chose one from Merry Mayhem. A number of my friends also chose this one and most of them have finished the top but I am still putting together the blocks. I hope to have that done tomorrow after I get back from a medical appointment and shopping.
The weather across Canada has been challenging. It took more than double the time to return from the in-laws on Christmas day. There have been record breaking low temperatures as well as snow flurries. We are supposed to have the latter tomorrow so hope I am going to be able to get to my appointment.
Wishing you all a great 2018.
Blessings,
This was a lovely Christmas for us as well. My eldest daughter and her husband were home for the first time in 10 years! We met my second eldest daughters fiancee and his children! It has been extremely cold our way too. We've had several hits in the -30 range. We are longing for snow now to protect the water lines off the well!
