Time to look back a bit to where my year went. Here is a pic review and then some other posts to look back on.Top row represents January into February.
I did so much appraisal shadowing these 2 months that I was very thankful to have time to go to St. Louis for a quilting retreat with friends from when I lived there.
This Blog Post discusses the retreat from a few years back when we were younger:)
Pics on top row are 1. View on the way to the airport to fly to St. Louis, 2. an aerial view of STL, and 3. my St. Valentine's Day Décor at home.
Second row: 1. My very first appraisal booth all on my own. What a fantastic day!
2. My baby girl finishing nursing clinicals!! I am a very proud mom and she shines at whatever she puts her mind to and she has worked so hard for this!
3. We had a bit of a warm up late in February and so my husband and I took a rare moment to go sit by the water and have a beer together:)
Bottom row: 1. I finally met Kay:) You have heard me talk of her in my Heritage Architect stories and it was great to meet her and go see her ice dye exhibit.
2. We lost a dear friend to cancer this year. When we lived in NC, Paula and Sharon lived down the island a bit from us. I met them through a business meeting and they owned the Wood Gallery that I exhibited in for awhile. We spent many weekends at their place for oyster roasts which I had never heard of before them:)
We moved and they moved but we were able to visit them in New Hampshire-WOW! Their new gallery was even more amazing!!
Being with them was a joy with lots of laughter and love. Our hearts break for Paula and are thankful she has family near to help her. We love and miss you Sharon!!
3. I finally got to take a Brazilian Embroidery class. That pic is the class sample and it is gorgeous!! Good to keep learning even when you think there isn't anything else.
In March we also had the annual COC charity auction. Click on COC to read about my donations.
I do keep very busy. I wonder what my bullet journal would have looked like that first quarter?? Maybe we will see this upcoming year:)
