Dear 2010, You Havent Seen The Last Of Me

"Man can only become what he can consciously imagine."

Dan Rudhyer

Dear 2010, I have so loathed you. Nearly as much as 2008 and more than 2009. I am so happy to say Adios`.

I KNOW that 2011 will bring its own adventures, and the journey will continue for me God willing, so I am ready. Bring it!
As many of you know, I save blogabouts for THEE BOOK.. you know.. when I’m old and wearing purple. So here is a recap of this bloody year.:

• Had my brother and sis in law in from Alaska
• Ended the visit abruptly when Mom fell ill
• Stayed with my Sis & family to care for Mom for the last month of her life
• Laid our Mother to rest.
• Came back to Pismo to begin piecing my world back together (again)

• Got a new cool car.. my beloved tank
  
• Quilted 3, count em 3 show quilts

• Went to visit my soul sista Ronda in Oregon, and I didn’t discover QVC. Noooo I didnt!
  
• Had the ::hands down::: weirdest holidays EVER in my life.
