Happy new year!

Wait - it's the end of January. Where have I been?

I've been adjusting - to being retired, and to so many things. So, so many.Change is a bitch.

I almost decided to abandon the blog altogether because - well - it wasn't quite the dividing line between two parts of my life, as I always thought it was.
However...
Here I am, here I'll stay. 

To that which I have left behind, let me say adieu. I hope you are well, I hope you are happy, and I want you to know that being out of that particular gravitational force is the one thing about retirement that is a total win.

So what's new? Well, I have a different spinning wheel now. Gidget has moved to her new home, and I have a new friend, pictured above - a Louet Victoria whose name is Maud. She's as camera-shy as I am, so you may only catch glimpses of her, but she is a joy to have around. Trust me on that.

To be continued. Really.

Oh, I'm so glad to hear you are well. I was thinking about you yesterday and wondered how the retirement was going.

Maud is doing some good work, there. What beautiful yarn you two are making.

The spinning is beautiful. I hope the knitting becomes items of immense beauty and comfort.

This is a year of changes for me too and so far I'm adjusting. Enjoy all retirement has to offer for you. Change may be a bitch but it is much better than being stuck in the mud.
