Bye Bye 2025!

I'd like to say this is the year I got used to my dad and auntie dying, but it wasn't, although I may be getting there.  I'd also like to say this is the year I got all my ducks in a row for my own demise, but it also wasn't, although it also may be getting there. 

 I'm glad this year is ending; it's been not awful but not great, and I haven't felt like myself for a lot of the year.  I'm hoping to really bounce back and get some pep in my step in 2026. I got a ukulele for Christmas and have lessons starting next week, and I also joined a folk dancing group, and I'm hoping that will get me out of the house and be in less of a funk.  The AI tells me I need to stitch on 4.81 pieces every day to get to all my starts in a year, so we'll see how that goes, haha.  So the year-end wrap up.....

I haven't taken a picture of Kuna in a while but here's a little throwback to wish you a happy new year.  She figured out a way out of our yard and has given us a new project of keeping her off the streets. She's 15 now and we consider it dementia related wandering. We can't let her off leash at the beach anymore because she just trots away, but she's fit and happy and I'm so grateful that she's still so healthy!

Thanks to everyone who's been blogging about your stitching, your trips, your lovely families - you have brightened so many of my gray days. I hope you all have a wonderful next year!
