Greetings to everyone. I know I have been absent for a long time, but my life has been a whirl wind of activities. My latest adventure is my retirement January 21st from the Minneapolis Public School District/ I know have started my own sewing business. I have been setting up my own sewing business for the last six months. I already have 3 customers with major projects/ Our youngest son got married July 13th and we were so busy getting everything coordinated at our church. We made flowers, and all other decorations. I made her veil and my dress. They are now expecting a baby girl in mid may. This will be our first grand daughter. We had our first Christmas pageant and I made all the costumes gor about 25 kids. Lots of fun for everyone Christmas Eve Mass. 1st pic Mike and Char 2nd pic our pastor on front and my 2 cousins in the back are priests who married George and I. 3 Our family 4. A friend donated his ice cream and truck on the church steps during the reception.

thanks Kay. I am fortunate that my husband is 3 years younger than myself, and I have a farm that I rent out the tillable land.
