It had been to hard to settle into a chair to work on it while flying around trying to accomplish all kinds of unneeded "busy work." The quilt is coming along nicely and I am so glad I decided to put this peaceful pursuit at the top of my list!<br />I hope the carousel project is still on track without your leadership. That is really special.

I find as I get older I just don't want so much stuff around. I will have a big announcement soon myself. <br /><br />Thanks for being such a bright and articulate and blissed-out grandmother. You have inspired me often. I'd love to go to lunch. I think we'd pick up where we left off on either FB or blogging. It is such an interesting world in which we live.

I felt freer just reading about your new freedoms. Now I just need to go clean out a closet or two.

The power of those objects feels as if it's inherent in them but is in our brains. (If only some archivist somewhere were interested in them...)<br /><br />I am attempting to figure out how to fit my energy into state or nation-scale issues, which is probably impossible, but still necessary in this new year and new world order.

I love hearing from you whenever it happens. My word for the year is "willingness." I am willing to let it work its magic on me, and I am willing to go or stay, willing to get involved. I like the idea of cleaning out the clutter. I am willing to do that, too. :-)DJanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07152183871573797791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7002258242339978362.post-340572965537068652017-01-02T07:17:52.134-06:002017-01-02T07:17:52.134-06:00It's good to hear from you.

And more focus on my painting again, perhaps boosting the Gypsy Caravan a little bit and intend to enjoy many wonderful books. I may even follow in your footsteps and take tap if I can find a good teacher. We shall see.
