Happy New Year? YES, please!!

 My last post was the middle of November??  Well, that six weeks went by swiftly!!  How can a Christmas that doesn't involve entertaining take so much of your energy??  Who knows - but move on!!

I love to make lists at the end of the year.  How many books I read.  My favorites.  How much quilting got done.  And the never-ending To Do List for the new year.  I have UFOs from 1997 on that list!!  Not many, but still ....

All that will come out in the next post.  Tricky, not promising a date ...

A picture is worth a thousand words so here is a selection of our skies on the Oregon coast.  Most are taken from our deck  ...  Happy New Year!

Unpacking in Paradise!

I've been back at the coast for 24 hours now - and there are still too many boxes to unpack! I hate them sitting around. Once in an earlier move, DH actually hid some boxes from me so I would relax!! Sewing room is still boxed in the garage ... of course, I'm anxious to get that set up.

The Newport Quilt guild meets year round and the June meeting is next thursday! So I'm excited that I'll be able to jump right in. I stopped in at the quilt store and got some local quilters to contact too. Looks like they have sewing days at least every month - kind of like Lincoln's workshop maybe? I'll let you know. Last August they had their quilt show - I don't know if they have it every year or every other year. There was an article in the paper's web archive - 900 visitors and 199 quilts. Not too shabby!

The condo is at the south entrance of the harbor - so we get to see at lots of boat traffic going in. The warning horn is alittle annoying - but I'm sure we won't even hear that after a week or so.

After days of rain, rain, rain - we had sunny skies today - walked the beach twice and drove into town for lunch. Walked around, found the library - it's pretty good! and then went to the grocery store AGAIN. It's impossible to restock all those things you don't think about ... like baggies, 3way lightbulbs and olive oil are already on the list for ?tomorrow?
