This used to be the time for all the sales -13th month they used to call it. Mother would give us money for Christmas and we would travel from Holly Springs to Raleigh to shop the sales and buy clothes. I still remember a blue cloth suede vest and skirt I got that I loved. Probably wore it too long after I should have and had a hard time giving it up. Probably because it reminded me of the fun we had shopping.
Getting rid of things now is not as difficult. I have been slowly purging my closets and will do more in the new year. It is amazing what you have time for when you are retired. I love January and
February for being time to reflect, regroup and reorganize.
Christmas was a good family time and that is good.
Win and LaVonne have sold their place at Hatteras. It was a difficult decision but the right one for them. Both boys live and will probably always live in Wilmington and it was getting to be unmanagable. It was a lovely cottage and at the end of Hatteras, it was in a good location. We will
all miss it. I know the people who bought it will get a lot of joy being there. We did.
Now to get ready for a New Years Day mystery quilt workshop. Beats watching football!!!
Thoughtful quilting.
Sally
