We’re driving in the rain up to Irvine for the 80th birthday dinner for Damon’s uncle David. He’s the last remaining sibling of his dad’s family.  Not great weather but so far no major traffic issues.  We do need the rain so I will be glad for that.

My December craft show went pretty well. Made more sales from my jewelry than any thing else.  It’s not been cold enough for people to want to purchase scarves but that’s ok.  I will need to get into the she shed and make some more jewelry and work on some spring ornaments.  We might have a craft fair in Apr or May. Just depends when the organizer comes back from deployment. She’s a Lt Commander in the Navy on the USS Carl Vincent. She’s supposed to be back either late February sometime in March.  Nice lady. 

Think I might sew up some rice bags which are great for sore neck’s or backs. Heat them in the microwave for about a minute 30 seconds, wrap in light towel and ahhhh, relief!  Oh bother, there’s an accident and it’s got traffic at a standstill at Camp Pendleton.  ??  Has picked up but I’m sure this won’t be the last traffic stop before we get to our destination.  

Hope Kati, hubby and the girls are well.  I’m sure he has been busy with line repairs.  

What crafts have you been doing?  I’m going to start up crafting with the high school gal soon. She was so busy with the holiday, tests for school and filling out college applications that we took a break.  Will be great to see her again. Good kid that I hope does wel.  

Yahoo, moving again, slowly but surely getting there, take care and stay warm, safe and healthy!  
Love,
