More about me

It has been a while since I updated my profile, and my life has changed. I am feeling better about where in life I am, and yes it is different then what I had ever imagined for myself. Unfortunately, the brother-in-law who helped me, is now very ill himself. He has cancer brought on by asbestso. I feel bad because I can't help him the way he helped me when I needed it. But we both know that I am there in spirit.

Cross stitch is back in my life. I forgot how much I loved to see the pattern rise out of the canvas as I work the needle. I use a blank canvas so I have to count my stitches as I work. I am also doing crocheting again and have a book with 500 different stitches in it. Now all I need is a pattern for a prayer shawl that is for croching instead of knitting. I don't have enough thumbs for knitting.

I have been reading more, visiting places I will never go, except in my books. Though the one place I really would like to go is to Ireland. That trip I will do, but not the way I would like to. I had wanted to take a 7 day horseback trip along the coast of west Ireland, now I will go by car.

Always looking for new friends to chat with and share different life experiences. I collect some antiques, mostly brooches and some barrettes. Some are with crystals, others are semi-precious stones and gem stones.

I am having my yellow lab, Willow, being reevaluated for an assistant dog, for my balance, when I walk around town. She is so friendly, loving, beautiful, and I really love her. But she is also very strong and I haven't used her as much as I should have this year, so she needs a short refresher course.
