It's a New Year





Mom & Dad at his 90th party!



Well, once again two months have passed by without a single blog.  I do have a really good excuse though.  My dad passed away December 1, 2010.  He was 90 years old on August 23rd.  He had started having lots of mini-strokes but I think he died from a heart attack.  I saw him last on Friday after Thanksgiving.  He was doing pretty good and his death was sort of unexpected.   I really miss him but am doing well.  I know where he is and I know that he is alive and so much better than any of us here. The house is so quiet without him there and I know that mom is sort of lonely.  She went with us to Sevierville last week and stayed a few days at the condo.  We went to a show at Country Tonite which was quite good.  It was really nice to see her relax and get some good sleep.  

SO........this year will be different as I had him around for a long time!!!  

 I have been knitting some though, trying to finish up some projects that have been on the needles for awhile.  *sigh*  There just isn't enough time to do all of the knitting that I want to do. 

I recently have finished two baby blankets, 2 baby surprise jackets with another on the needles, and one hat.  I still have my Evenstar lace shawl to finish and it is already time for the next Lord of the Rings Series to begin!
