HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

I was woken a couple times with fireworks. lol - We called it a night early. I was listening to an audio book and playing games till about 11 pm. Then called it a night. 

Was sorry to hear there was terror at the big gatherings.  Makes you wonder what life is coming to. 

I went walking 7 laps around the neighborhood. It felt good to get out and walk. Patrick went to meet with his golfing buddies to find out what is going on with the golf course. I guess they are raising prices, stopping yearly passes, and fixing things up. Which means they are going to out price themselves when everyone goes to another golf course. Patrick's group is talking about going up to Tumwater to golf. Plus they said a couple groups that were regulars haven't been showing up. Be interesting to see where that goes with the new owners. 

I decided to work on my cross stitching today. I'm a determined to get this done. I have quilting at moms, so I probably won't be taking it with me to work on. 

I did have to work on my magnifier when working on the white, tan and off white. I get off on my stitches and end up taking it out to fix it. I did that a couple times today. I did work more on the green and then work on the gold. I'm getting there. I found the gold was a little easier to work with. But I did get off on that too, and took some of that out as well. That gold is a staff. I got a lot of the beard done as well. I'm thinking of moving over to the right side and working there, but decided I can work from the left just as easily. 

I am praying this year is better than last year. 2024 wasn't a good year for us. If we can just get through this year without too much bother, it would be wonderful. Patrick's Birthday is the 25th, so let's hope we can get there without too much bother. lol 

After supper I was playing on my tablet. So, I didn't get back to working on this, as much as I wanted to. But that's okay, I was at least Happy Stitching/Happy Quilting!
