I cannot believe that it has almost 3 months since I've written anything. Lots of stuff happened since then. My dog, Hannah, is doing much better. She still has a bad case of hip dysplasia, but she had very bad bacterial infection which seems to have been the thing getting and keeping her down. Think we were close to losing her. But our wonderful new and somewhat expensive vet did just the right things and now she is back to her old self. Still on medication for the time being. That makes me very happy to have Hannah like her old self again. It removes that sense of dread I was having.
Shortly after my last entry I got very sick and was in bed for 11 days. Unfortunately, my honey was gone for a week and then was forced to work several days in a row when he returned due to the fires here in So. Cal. (My husband is a fire fighter by the way.) So about 8 days into this I developed a bad sinus infection and had to get myself to the doctor. Not a good time for me, to say the least.
Had my mother down here for about 2 weeks over Christmas. My niece, her husband and baby boy all came down from San Francisco for a couple of days. It was a great visit and so much fun to hug and kiss my great-nephew. My nephew who temporarily lives in Amsterdam came home for the holidays also. I love being together with family and most particularly at Christmas. The holidays just zoomed by.
Now we are in my honey's retirement year and in addition to the move to our retirement home, I'm in the midst of planning a party for him. So lots to do this year!
I've started listing lots of my patterns on Ebay and so far am selling quite a few of them. Seems like a small dent compared to what I have but at least it's a start. I'm not any nearer to having a craft sale, but that is on the agenda for sometime this spring. It will get done, I swear it.
Noticed I haven't posted any pictures on here yet. That's something that I will definitely have to get done also. Suppose I should re-write my "to-do" list (or write one anyway)! LOL I have so much to do I'd better stop this writing today and get some more listed on Ebay. Nice to have a few $$ coming in and it only does that when I hustle to get it posted.
I have been adding to my everyday dishes and my "good" china. Decided to check to see what was out there and have been amazed at the serving pieces available. I'm about ready to stop buying as I've about exhausted the bank account. It's been fun though, to find a nice platter or something that I wasn't aware of. My "good" china is something I have loved for about 40 years. One day in high school, looking through a Bride's magazine, I tore out a picture of this beautiful china pattern (that I have since found out was originated in 1965). When I turned 25 my family got together and bought me place settings and I got some serving pieces so that I now have service for 10. They discontinued making this pattern in 1997 and now it's not as readily available...but thank goodness for Ebay. There are still pieces out there for me to buy and I'm going to get just a couple more pieces. I plan on using that "good" china more often once we are in our new home. We have purchased a new refrigerator and a new double-oven stove for our new house. I plan on using the heck out of those ovens. I want to entertain a lot and am getting truly ready for that!
All right, now I really must end this yacking. It's raining now and supposed to do so for the next couple of days. We are not used to raining days on end here in So. Cal. so it's a bit of a drag, but a necessity. Off to the picture taking realm and posting on Ebay mode...TTFN
