Happy New Year!

Here Bill and I sit on New Year's Eve...no partying, no drinking, just us sitting here watching TV like old folks.   Oh! Wait, if we were old folks, we would be in bed at 11:23 at night.  Thank goodness we are not old.  I was really worried.

I spent most of today with my friend Elva.  We went to two thrift stores, spent almost $3.00, had lunch and went to my favorite quilt shop, A Stitch in Time.  I had met a lady in June when we were here.  She was very nice and wanted to know if there were any quilt shops here.  She was from the Cayman Islands and her and her husband had bought a home in Franklin for retirement.  When I walked into the quilt store today, there she was.  They were here for a week.  It is funny how sometimes things are just meant to be.  I had misplaced the little slip of paper with her e-mail address and she had misplaced mine.  What would be the chances of running into her on her last day here.  Sometimes God just puts someone in our path because he wants us to meet.  Isn't it funny that he has done that twice with us.  It was meant to be.

My friend Elva had made a big pot of soup yesterday and Bill and I ate with her.  Bill helped her move a couple of desks.

Wednesday was a big sale at the quilt store and I was back down there.  Wow, got some great buys that I did not "need", but I could not resist 50% off.  I started a big star quilt from Missouri Star Quilt Co.  I have two blocks done and 10 more to go.

It is cold and more of a biting cold than usual.  I think it is because it has rained then turned cold.  It has been a good week, no cleaning, no organizing and basically not much cooking.  In other words, I just did what I wanted to do all week.  Shameful isn't it.  Did a little sewing and putzed a few of the thrift shops with my friend, Pam today.  I found Emily 3 American doll outfits and a little Mini doll for less than $15 total...which was a great price.  Cannot wait to see my sweet Emily to show her "doll" Emily's new clothes and playmate.

I am going to try and blog more.  It is good to write down my thoughts.  Until we meet again....
