What a year about to end!

 

               12/27/2020

You've probably had enough of 2020, so that's not my intended topic today, but to say I'm glad to see it go.

I've come to realize this blog of mine needs some refreshing and finally getting around to making a new post. Just in case you've read my story to this point, there a few new events to add. I'll summarize those in my best attempt to be concise. (which does not come easy to me--see?)😁

 

After I found myself unable to care for my ailing husband at home anymore, I put myself through an abbreviated version of the education I'd started many years back in the nursing field. I'd been an L.P.N. student before becoming a mother. In 2015, I became a certified nursing assistant (C.N.A.).   I worked in local facility caring for dementia patients about 4 years, until I retired and started babysitting the grandchildren that had come along by then.

Funny observation recently:

My son had pointed out that once his son went to school all day, I would "get to" spend the whole day with "the baby" who was yet unborn. Those kids are so special to me, that I now wonder just who manipulated who in that discussion. 

While on the subject of family, I've lost two of my brothers since I last visited this page.

and Tom this year       Jeff in 2012                                                                                                                   

Now I realize this post has nothing much to do with sewing, but this blog is about me, and who I am and what I want to say. 

Thanks for listening.

And, continuing "the story", 

as inquiring minds want to know...  

 I've "met someone" special, as they say. 

Enough on that.
