Starting over again

Google is a pill. I can't login to my other email to use my blog so we'll just start another one. I had some photos saved on Google Photos and now I don't have access to them. :( Thankfully it wasn't a lot.

Let's see, my last post was in September, autumn.

Christmas was nice. We got a small real tree and put it up on a table to keep the ferrets from climbing it. The cats thankfully don't bother it, but one liked to sleep under it.

I've had health stuff since last December (2021) Nothing c0v1d related. Right now I have a concussion and can't wait for that to heal. I get dizzy a lot. My Dr gave me a Rx for it, but it does not help at all so I didn't bother refilling that one.

I haven't cross stitched much lately. Been waiting out the dizzy, but sometimes it feels like it will never end. I do want to stitch again. I have a gazillion charts I want to do, and quite a few WIPs. An embarassing amount actually. LOL.

Found out the local Ben Franklin store is closing. I'm bummed! They actually carry all the DMC floss and some cross stitch stuff, lots of fabric, holiday decor, and lots of fun stuff. Sometimes there'd be something a little bit primitive to buy. The nearest place to buy DMC now is 45 minutes away and with our gas guzzler we don't go out that way often, and not worth the drive for a few skeins of floss. It's unclear if anyone is going to buy Ben Franklin to keep it going. From the sound of it, no. There's a huge outpouring of locals sad about it. But the couple who own it want to retire.

I really miss the old blogging days! I miss seeing prim homes, decor, ideas, projects, tutorials, giveaways, swaps. It was fun and nice to connect with prim lovers like myself.

Life here has taken a turn in the wrong direction so we are thinking of moving. Not north. Less cold is better for our aging selves. We'd love to find some acres and a nice house with no carpet and at least 2 bathrooms. A nice big kitchen with lots of counter space. 3 bedrooms because the grown up kids are going with us and we kinda need a whole room for the ferrets and hubby knows I long for a craft room again. We want to continue vegetable gardening, growing fruit trees and bushes. We want to keep raising chickens for eggs and meat. We'd lke to live near a good farmers market and other farms that raise pastured meat and dairy. And we need an exotic vet that is familiar with ferrets. We have a good one here in the next county over, but can't find what we want as far as properties over that way. The New River Gorge became a national park and now everyone is buying up homes for airbnb! It's crazy and annoying.

We'll just have to see what God has in store.
