New Year, New Quilt, More Trips, New Mantra


We all made it!  Survived Christmas.  Hundreds of days until it rolls around again.  Yippee!

In my studio yesterday morning:


Strips leftover from a quilt I made three years ago.



No idea what they will all become.  Whatever it is, it will most likely end up as a quilt auctioned off here to benefit the Berkeley Food Pantry.

"Do it now," is what a lot of elderly travelers have said to us, and we're by God doing that in 2015. We have trips planned this year to a) Costa Rica/Panama Canal/New Orleans/Key West and b) Scandinavia/St. Petersburg/Paris/Normandy/England.

The details take up two binders and a lot of my brain.



I've got two blank books...


 ...standing by to join these:



Our trips since 2006.  What are you going to remember on your deathbed? (Not a new bathroom)

New mantra:  "What would you attempt to do if you knew you couldn't fail?"

Maybe tap-dancing.  Quilts that are a bit more adventurous.   A family history that tells the truth.  A walk across the Golden Gate Bridge. Lots more.  Have to think.

Happy New Year!  Or anyway Post-Christmas...
