It's been a rough several months -- Since mid-September, I had sinus infections from heck; the meds that finally knocked out the infections were almost worse than the disease as the side effects kept me almost totally housebound Being under house arrest enabled me to make many, many, many, many purses as gifts for the ladies in my son's wedding party and assorted relatives and friends:

would've been more but 10 days before the wedding which took place on December 10th, my mother passed away. I went to NJ for the funeral and abbreviated shiva (Jewish period of mourning) and then came home to clean and cook because everyone agreed that the wedding was a must attend event despite our mourning.
Challenges now are not to worry too much about my almost 92 year old father who lives in south Florida and who, for the most part, seems to be able to care for himself, rein in my must-be-in-control sister or learn to ignore her, and settle down enough to stitch.
