Some News This Week

It’s been a long time coming, but I won’t be posting to the blog anymore. I started it almost 10 years ago but because of family responsibilities, aging parents that need care, and preparing for retirement, it’s been harder and harder to keep up with it.

Once retired we’d like to travel, but before that, I have a slew of Ebay items that need listing and that takes time. My priorities need to change.

I was hoping I could do it all, but found that for now I must give my attention to other important projects and responsibilities. The blog will stay up so you can access the patterns already there. I just won’t be adding new posts and hope everyone understands.

I will miss it and am grateful for all the wonderful people that have interacted with me and read the blog. It was a hard decision to make.

Thank you so very, very much!! ❤️

    Well I see that I have missed the boat completely. I will continue to visit and try to get a direction for my question. It’s an in search of question. Have fun traveling.

      I still check in now and then, plus receive an email whenever anyone leaves a comment or question so if I can help I certainly will try.
      Thanks!

    I agree with Kristin.Go, go, go for it! We spent all our vacations during our working years visiting family or entertaining family. Always thought we could do our traveling after we retired. Instead I got sick and can barely get around the house. At least I can travel via the Internet, but I sure wish we could have had a different retirement plan.

    And I surely appreciate you leaving the blog up. I discovered you recently and will enjoy reading the blog in reverse. Thank you so much!

    Put the eBay items in HIGH GEAR, priced to SELL. Do not wait – RUN- to get your tickets and travel. If you hesitate, the opportunity will be lost forever. Pretend there is no “…next year….” and do it, now. There is no “better time in the future”. Take it from someone who knows: me. I waited, and lost the option of seeing my father ever again, he passed away in Sweden. I kept thinking “soon, or next year, I will make plans to see him” Or the old “let’s wait til we have more cash in the bank”. You will not starve, go now. 20 yrs ago, I actually quit my job- no savings- to go travel. I knew I would get another job when I got back, even though I had nothing waiting for me – the job market was good. I never regretted it. Please go travel now. Do not wait, pretend as if your life depends on it. God bless- and take care.

      Thanks, Kristin. That is the plan. Clear out the Ebay stuff and be ready to go when my husband sets the date to retire, which is very soon. I’ll be stopping by the blog now and then. Sure will miss it, but it’ll be okay. I appreciate your comments through the years and your taking the time to write them. Keep well.
