Life How do you some up 25 years in such a short space! And so few characters! I think I'm right where I want to be at at this point and time in my life. I have a good business and it's on the grow again. I've studied languages, history and learned that I enjoy visiting the Southern states. This winter I finally had the opportunity to learn 2 things that I thought would be easy enough but challenging all the same. So just before Lent I learned how to knit (which my Grandma & mother tried to teach me unsuccessfully) and now know how. I'm not that good but at least I learned to knit. The other skill I learned was lap/hand quilting. I enjoyed it and now would like to make a quilt for myself. My many "nieces" keep me busy making afghans. And I would like to make a quilt (rather than an afghan) for myself. A project to do before heading back to university. Education has been and continues to be very important to me. I went to university wanting to enter into the Faculty of Education only to discover that my study skills were somewhat rusty. And worked on my BA to "unrust" those study habits. This will be my third degree (one at Red River, one at U of W and this one will again be at U of W). Time will tell if I get an opportuntity to return to school. Finances & time are tight; giving up the business to return to classes is not an option as I will need to have a roof over my head and food to survive. So night school here I come!!! But first to save beyond the "3 month" backup. I just wish Grandma was here to see me now... ...Expand for more
