2005, what a year this has been! It has been the best year of my adult life. I say that because I was blessed in so many ways and those blessings far out weighed anything that I may have suffered throughout the year.
This past November we were able to fly out to see my dad, who lives in Clatskanie, Oregon and my sister flew up from California. It was an extra special time for us; not only did we get to spend Thanksgiving together but it was also my dad's birthday. My sister's birthday is on December 1st so we threw in a surprise birthday for her also. The weather was exceptional for this time of year which enabled us all to enjoy the great outdoors and how beautiful it was!
We took lots of pictures and my sister has a great camera that does movies so we have a wonderful collection of pictures and short videos from our trip. Christmas was extra special to me too this year, for three gifts that I received touched my heart in a very special way.
One project that got done this month was that of a utensil holder. I have needed one for some time now but couldn't find one to buy. I got the idea to just make one. My dad sent me a beautiful piece of wood and I just finished it up and now have a gorgeous rack hanging in my kitchen. My son also had a really nice piece of wood that didn't quite work for his project so he gave it to me and I made a gadget holder out of it. We did a lot of work and cleaning up in our kitchen this year and it really looks and feels great. There are a few other things I need but in time will work on getting those items. I am just so grateful for what I have now.
I hope everyone has a blessed New Year!
