Dear Dad,
Hi! What should we talk about tonight? How about hobbies? As I remember you didn't have too many hobbies, a few, but not many. You liked to hunt, fish, do handloading, make wine, drink wine. That's about it. You were busy working. Travel. You liked to travel, almost as much as me. I'm thinking of taking up drawing again. I can't afford any drawing books until February, if I buy any even then. I found this site with free drawing lessons, Drawspace. OK, it's not all that inspiring, but I've got to start somewhere. I have art supplies, might as well use them.
I showed you yesterday what I've been up to with the cross-stitch. I'm stubborn, I'll admit that. I'm ready to throw the kits out. At least with this kind of pattern I can pick out the colors I want to use. I gave up on cross-stitch last year about now. Then I picked it up again. There's no way I'm going to let a cross-stitch kit kick my ass around the block. That's what it did. All those colors that looked so much like the other colors, blues, beiges.
So there's that. I know, you are probably bored by all this. No, actually, you always were interested in what I got up to. So unlike the rest of the family. It's hard to remember having someone actually interested in what I do with my time. Then there's sewing. I get such a rush when I finish a sewing project. It's like, "I made something!" I get so excited. On Thursday, I think I'll work on that blue tote bag for J. She will like it for sure.
I'm sort of in a quandary. Should I do the writers program in April? What do you think? I don't like all that attention and I'm not sure what we're going to do, read our stuff, I guess. I think they should do more with all writers not just published ones, in my humble opinion. We'll see how it shakes out. I read this article today on More than Money, about how this guy's life changed when he started saying Yes to stuff. So I've been thinking about that. At first I wasn't all that interested. I haven't been feeling good lately, as you probably know. Maybe I'll change my mind...
Say hi to Grandma and Grandpa and Papa and your mom for me, OK? Here's a recent picture of Betty Boop, my cat:
She loves catnip.
LOVE
Anne
