January 1st, 2010... another year... but nothing like last year's starting... tonight there was only two of us at the house... 4 if you want to count the puppies... I had my first steak since June of last year, though it was not all eaten it was the best thing I have eaten in some time... of course onions, mushroom and peppers were the side dish.
My first day of the year was spent mostly taking down and putting away the remaining of the Christmas decorations that I took over a month to put up... there is only one thing left up and I am expecting Carl to take it down eventually....
I am back to knitting but not for Caleb but for the next baby on the way... one hat, mitt and booties set has been done and working on the next one... have to go out looking for more yard for a sweater or two before shipping it up to Montreal all... I still have a bunch of pink stuff here looking for a little girl to show up in the family or among friends but if someone knows someone who is having a little girl please let me know... I am more then welling to pass this stuff on to them...
I have also been working on my recipe book though I am not getting all that much from the people I have asked to send me something to add to the book... so I will wait for a while and then start printing it... I have been going up to mom's with the computer and going through the recipe box picking out the well worn recipes to put into book as well... it will just pass on the ones that mom has been making over the years for the family....
I know I said I was going to put some photos of Caleb up and I have not.. it has been that kind of week for me... just doing things and not getting here... but this one was taken last Saturday (Boxing Day) when we took the long way to Fredericton to introduce Matthew to his new nephew.... and then Matthew said on Face Book "I experienced real fear today, when I held my nephew for the first time. I have never been so scared to break something in my entire life. I am truly Blessed!" I am glad that we took the time to stop in... the picture tells me everything...New Years eve was spent mostly working on the book, some facebook and by 11 pm I was in bed ready to face the land of la la....
So to all who reads...I hope you all had a wonderful New Year's celebration and have a great year ahead.... I hope that my first date of this year is just an indication of my year ahead... quiet and peaceful.. minus the cold weather... and storm that is on the way...
Have a good one all Joanne
