hope you all had a wonderful New Year

First I hope everyone had a wonderful start to the New Year.

Ours was quiet… which was nice.  I did have a couple  drinks  of Baileys

yummy..Don’t splurge much   on alcohol at all but I had a hankering..

Still have loads left since I am the only one that had any….

oh well… Working on my afghan and started a hat… Going to see if I like it

,,if not it gets frogged..I am a very fast frogger…lol

Had the afghan already up to 11 rows and frogged it all to restart it

with a larger crochet hook…..I do that all the time.

I just thought I would pop in shortly

Have a wonderful first week  of the new year

hugs from South Texas…Birgit  

Another thing I want to learn ………….

I want to learn more about websites and building them and most of all

understanding them….

Quote of the day:
Originality is the fine art of remembering what you hear but forgetting where you heard it. - Laurence J. Peter

As I sit here reflecting

with my morning coffee in hand about the last year I have many things that I have accomplished and that I am grateful for

Some small some larger….so let see if I can count the ways…..

I finally learned to loom knit..lol well not like  Anne Bipes or Isela or Brenda Myers and can’t forget Greg from  the loom dude but I  am I think accomplished on making hats …made a baby blanket on the loom for my 5th grandchild ( I used to never finish anything I started so this was way good.). Then I started back in crocheting again…

Health wise  I am grateful that this year was a good year only thyroid surgery and heart cath and stent behind me so I am so grateful for that.And my body not needing more is a good thing….lol

I have become more patient in many things of my everyday life. Accepting of the fact that I no longer can do things the way I used to and love it when I can. so I have accomplished the task of being more patient.. a good thing

No resolutions for the new year… I never keep them but I will try  to learn more about crocheting also to really start  learning different stitches in loom knitting… Live as healthy as possible…. And to support my husband  in all his endeavors. Spend as much time enjoying  my time with mom. and to continue to learn whatever I can about everything in life .

So with this my friends I leave you with  A Happy New Year 2011 may all your dreams and wishes come true…..

Einen Guten Rutsch ins Neue Jahr wuensche ich meinen deutschen freunden

Hugs from Still South Texas.,,Birgit

Things I am Thankful for.

Reading some of the posts in my fave blogs I  have been thinking what am I thankful for this year… and came up with these

1. I am around another year. That’s saying a lot ask my docs.

2. Fairly good Health so to speak right now

3. Mom is improving

4. A fairly new  grand daughter that’s healthy

5. A beautiful family and loving family

6. My Husband for  being my rock in all  my sicknesses ( is that a word) making me laugh when I am crying, for being my friend  and listening to me, for loving me whole heartedly and  thinking of me always

for being my other half in every sense of the word. I love you.

my 2 dogs that are  my husbands but  follow me when I just move, for my 4 cats that always make me smile even when I am sad.

For finding  out that I can  do crafts, as in crocheting and loom knitting even though I always thought I couldn’t.

For my blgging friends, thanks for  reading me once in a while and hopefully enjoying  my ramblings.

For  all the things the good lord has blessed me with.

Thanks you all……….Hugs from a chilled 36 degree’s  South Texas ( just for you Cindy)
