Time!

Is it really October?  I cannot believe that my last post was on August 26th!!

It has certainly not been due to boredom in my life ... on the contrary!  There are days when I long for the quietness of a passing day.  A day in which to dabble in a little of this or a little of that at my leisure without the mad rush of meeting deadlines.

I am the only one to blame as I continually take on more and more projects and so often can be heard to say "yes" when I know in my heart I should be saying "no!"  They do say if you want something done to give it to a busy person!! LOL

So much exciting news to report ... first and foremost we are going to be grandparents AGAIN!  This will make us the very proud and delighted grandparents of 9 of these little darlings!  Daughter Jennie and our son-in-law Norm are over the moon excited ... baby is due the first week in March.  We have lots of birthdays happening in that week already and one more will give us even more reason to celebrate! ;-)

I am almost halfway through my two year term as Co-President and President of our local quilters' guild.  I have learned much from serving in this capacity and am thoroughly enjoying the challenges and also the rewards presented to me.  My retirement from this position will almost coincide with my hubby's retirement too ... we have many dreams to follow when this happens - one of them being to travel across Canada and back through the U.S. in our rv - perhaps even spending the winter in Mexico.  We are both very excited about next year and the beginning of yet another chapter in our life together!! ;-)

I am planning to post regularly again but this is all for now as I am expecting daughter Briggy and our little Emmy and Lauryn for dinner this evening.

We continue to be blessed every day of our lives!  God is indeed good!! ;-)
