Okay, I’m a bit early but I’m feeling blessed. Oh sure, there were a few days in 2017 that were a little wonky, but all in all it was a pretty good year!

Mr. “C” retired…again. We’ve traveled some, although my bucket list doesn’t even have a dent in it. I know he has a bucket list too. So we’re putting our heads together and working on how we can come up with a road trip to combine his list with mine. I can see it now…..I may not be home for a while.

First things first. Finish the BOOK about DNA. Actually, it is finished, but I need to get the product updated with the revisions. I must not like that part of writing as I’ve put it off far too long. There are things I want to do in 2018 so I need to get with it and put my book to bed!

I pray everyone is looking forward to 2018 with great anticipation of what is coming their way. Of course, we need to get through this cold snap they say we are expecting. I do not do cold very well but if I must, I must. Yes, I’m staying inside with the heater turned up and watching old movies after ringing in the new year.

This year I’d like to put my ancestry books together and get them printed for the family. When I started delving into my history I was looking only for a couple of names but as I progressed one last name brought two, then two brought four. It has multiplied so much. And that’s the way it goes. The same goes for my husband’s ancestry.  So you can see I have a full year ahead.

I need to clean up my craft room. There are piles of quilts that need to be put together. Pictures that need to be scrapbooked. The list goes on and on!

I’d like to sign off today saying may the blessing of light be on you, light without and light within. May light shine out of the two eyes of you, like a candle set in the window of a house, bidding the wanderer come in out of the storm.  This is part of an Irish blessing.

Until then my friends…….
