I cannot believe that today is my 65th birthday.  Where has the time gone?  I don't feel that old most of the time.  Bob is taking me out to dinner tonight to the Craft Ale House for mussels.  Yummy I can't wait.  This morning after the gym I went out to breakfast with the ladies, there were 8 of us.  After that I went to the mall shopping and got a birthday present for Sue.  She is having surgery on her knee today.  They had to replace a part on her knee replacement, it seems they used the wrong size part when they originally did the replacement. 

We had our bedrooms, bathroom and hallway painted last week.  It looks so nice.  Now we are having our downstairs bathroom remodeled.  They started last Friday.  No one seems to be working here today.  I wonder what that is about.  The electrician just dropped in to take some measurements but other than that I haven't seen a soul. 

Well I am off to relax for a little while before Bob comes home.

My first finish of 2012

I have just finished my 1st cross stitch of 2012.   This is a 12 month SAL from my KYKS group and was designed by the group owner Cathryn McGurrin of Blueladie Designs.  I am going to make them into individual ornaments for my ornament tree.
