What a Year!

2016 will soon become a memory and I want to thank a lot of folks who made the year a good one.  Thanks to my wonderful husband of forty five years who is my partner in love, life, travel and the pursuit of happiness. We are a great team. We circumnavigated the planet this year or close to it with travels from Papette to Manaus all the time content to be with each other and wondering where the next adventure in life will take us.

Thanks go to my family and friends who show unconditional love!

Thanks go to Project Linus for hours of enjoyment. Project Linus gives homemade blankets to kids in need and I am honored to make a few dozen blankets for them. Our group of PL blanketeers made over 10,000 blankets this past year. 

  Thanks go to OLLI (Osher Livelong Learning Institute) for allowing me to teach a couple of classes for them. OLLI is a volunteer organization designed for seniors to teach and learn from each other. There are over 100 OLLI centers in the US, mostly based at colleges and universities, where seniors can take classes on just about anything. What a great way to learn something, meet friends old and new and have a good time.  This is not an ordered list as all of these thank yous are NUMBER ONE.   2016 has been a good year and I'm hopeful that 2017 will be too. Happy New Year Everyone!
