Happy to be home but miss my family in Connecticut!
Having been away a month, it's taking me a long time to settle
back in.
Much sorting
and reorganizing to do. Sorry I haven't been able to keep up
with
my journal. Hopefully, I will be organized soon.
Today is Wednesday,
January 28th, 2009 and it snowed all day.
When I started out to walk over to my studio tonight, I was surprised
to find the path
treacherous with ice! Back inside to put on my ice cleats. Am
visiting Ellie May!
January 29th
- 31st, 2009
This month flew
by and I wasn't able to keep up with my journal.
Being away from home for so long set me back and I'm still trying
to catch up
and organize, work on new art work and commissions.
A new month is
tomorrow and I hope you visit me in February!
best wishes,
Nancy
