This is a year of two significant events, my seventieth birthday in a couple of weeks and my husband and my forty-fifth wedding anniversary . 

This blog will be a chronicle of my life as I journey through my 8th decade.  I thank my daughter for setting up the blog and for a lesson on how to navigate the blog software.   It will take a while to become familiar with all the  bells and whistles that are available,  but, here goes…

HOBBIES: Two of my favourite pastimes are canvas work and knitting.  Two of my latest projects are the rabbit from Cindy’s Needle Art stitched for my daughter and the Chevron lace scarf knit for myself. 

The scarf was knit with two balls of Debbie Bliss Angel on 5mm needles.

CURRENT READING: The Scottish Prisoner by Diana Gilbaldon.

That’s it for my first post.
