Ok Let's start over!

Well this has been quite an autumn. Right after I promised to blog each day I got busy with life and blogging became a problem (so to speak...)
Anyway, this fall we have traveled to Florida to see our grandson turn one, and spend time with our son and his wife. After a week in Tampa we came home to chilly rainy Seattle. I have to say I loved Seattle. Florida is ok for some but it's too sunny and harsh for me. Give me rain and green and water and the seasons! Well at least three of of the seasons anyway. I could do without snow and winter.
I entered a show with my beadwork and although nothing was purchased there was interest in the ties! That is really saying a lot since they were the most expensive items in the show! I later donated one to Operation Sack Lunch. It is a non-profit that feeds the homeless in Seattle. My hubby and I serve on the board.
We also did a lightning trip to Boston to see our youngest son. This was a terrific trip even though it was only for the weekend. It was a no pressure trip and we had a lovely dinner at the chart house. I got to meet one of the guys that hubby works with and his wife and they invited us back this summer for lobster on the beach! We'll be there!
The big news is that I am getting ready to buy a coffeeshop! I am so jazzed! It will be a combination coffeehouse and folk art gallery. I will be able to have my studio there and a meeting room for groups and we will have activities like Pinochle games, chess, go, mystery book club, and live entertainment every Friday and Saturday. I have a ton of plans but am stalled right now. I cant get the landlady to call me back so I can talk to her about a continuation of the lease! FRUSTRATING!!
On top of everything, Hubby came down with pneumonia and he spread the virus my way and both of us have been sick in bed. Now the house is a mess, the tree is still in the tree farm waiting for us to find it and presents are still needing to be sent! Tomorrow is the day for mailing both the cards and letters and bills and presents and getting a response from the land lady etc.!!
I need to go for right now. Hubby is coming home from work. His first day back and I think he is going to be exhausted! Will write more tomorrow.
