It is my way of traveling and meeting new friends. Exploring new places and seeing what they like to do. I admire the ones who are very creative. I have an etsy shop and you can see what I am involved. If I know it is a person's birthday, I like to stop by their blog and tell them Happy Birthday. They might be living by themselves. I have friends who are caregivers just like me and we give each other support.
My hubby and I liked to go for drives and you never knew where the adventure was going to take us. We would just pick a direction with no particular destination in mind. My favorite time of the year to travel is the fall. This fall was very different for us. We didn't get to do some of the things that we like.
In the summer, you will read about my oldest two grandsons showing their horses and their adventures. My youngest grandson is taking swimming lessons and I don't know how far he will take it. They each have there own personalities.
The last few months extra time is being spent visiting the nursing home. My hubby had to have a hip replacement and it has been a very slow process. Last but not least I thought I would leave you with pictures of my boys, a couple of my projects that I have made. I will be visiting you all and happy to have found you on blogland.

Hi Shirley, thanks for stopping by my blog and leading me to yours. Oh my goodness..that bedspread is stunning! I can't imagine stitching something so big and grand..and finishing it LOL! I'm definitely coming back to read more of your blog. I felt like I was hearing from an old friend..I love horses too and though I didn't show them, I had horses for many many years. I hope all goes well for you and your husband, and you will enjoy your retirement. Hugs ~ Laura
love your beautiful quilt and your valentines made me smile. They remind me of ones we gave as children.
What a talented lady! I simply am in love with your embroidery. I used to embroider a lot, but since I've found knitting and wool, I'm addicted to all things wooly. You do amazing things with your craft.
Thanks for stopping by my blog, I'm happy you stopped, I am now a follower on your blog!!!
Cheers
