It's been a while since my last posting. I've taken a Creative Writing course and have written a few pieces and a couple of poems. I've also had 5 dental implants done to anchor a lower denture. It's been nothing but problems since October 20, which is my grandson's birthday. I don't know if I'd recommend the procedure after what I've been through.
I've been writing a type of biography with stories my dad told us throughout the years. Wanted something on paper to pass down through the family. The facts are true, but I've taken poetic license to make the stories more interesting. I did research on the internet to gather facts about the era and embellished to make the story more interesting. Now my children want to know how much is me and how much is their grandfather. Guess I'll have to do a prologue and write 'just the facts' and let everyone know that the stories are a reconstitution of the truth as I see it. Nothing is ever easy with family.
I like to sew, machine embroider, and quilt. Been suffering with depression this past year and haven't done any of it. Yesterday, I finally got the bug and did some digitizing to create a logo for our local machine embroidery club and then actually sewed it out about 5 times to get the kinks out and then embroidered a moose onto a sweatshirt for me for the holidays. It has a peppermint candy cane in its mouth and an ornament hanging from its antler. Not too Christmassy.
Since it's chilly here once again, I needed a sweatshirt to wear.
