Christmas 2021

I have enjoyed knitting more these past few years.

 This Christmas I made hats, scarves and

 afghans for Lena and Anna's families.

Lena found some bittersweet there in Tennessee and sent it to me as she knows how much I miss our times together searching it out and making wreaths when we lived in Indiana.

2022





 I haven't written in a long time. It's January 18, 2022.

 Two years ago I was diagnosed with breast cancer. It was shocking as no one in my family has ever had breast cancer. My sister had a melanoma years ago that was cured completely. 

I had a lumpectomy since my tumor was small-only 4mm. I am very grateful for the doctors and for my recovery.

Before I was finished with my radiation treatments Covid hit. We were all concerned. The world in the last two years has undergone major shifts. We have succumbed to fear and lies and panic. Now two years later many countries shut down their economies for extended times. This has now caused shortages of goods. Even in our own country the government has mandated masks to be worn and even in some places for vaccination cards to be shown to enter establishments.

It is really just too much to try to tell. The vaccinations were rolled out under President Trump and then the new president, Joe Biden (who was voted in under very suspicious circumstances) has mandated them. Our country is so divided now between the vaccinated and the unvaccinated.  It is a very sad time we are living in.
