Hello friends and happy 2024. I hope this year has been good to you so far.
I didn’t intend to be away from blogland for so long. We had a very busy ending to 2023 and beginning of the new year.
When
we last visited, I mentioned we were heading back to Florida the following week
to celebrate my mom’s 80th birthday.
She had asked that we keep it a family only event. My sister and her
husband came from Texas and my kids (young adults) were there and that is all Mom expected. She was surprised when my
cousins came from across the state to help her celebrate.
She
was also surprised by the quilt I made her.
A
lot has happened since her October birthday. She sold her house in Florida and
we moved her to North Carolina on Thanksgiving day. We already had several holiday events planned
since she was coming to our house for the month of December anyway. I’ll share more about those in the coming
days.
She
moved into her own place in late January. We’ve been busy getting her settled. I love that she is only 6 miles away!
As
for me, hubby and I made yet another trip to Florida last week for medical
appointments. I’m looking forward to the day I am not making those trips.
I’m
off to enjoy a cup of coffee and attempt to catch up with my favorite bloggers.
Enjoy
your day!
