Retro PhotoHunt

I have a busy day today and a very late night so you'll just have to put up with one more retro PhotoHunt.  I imagine I'll be exhausted tomorrow, but if you're lucky I'll have the energy to share this weekend's Knowledge and Needles retreat with you!!

This is the PhotoHunt from October 10, 2009 the theme is "Sports"
Over the years you have seen many of my Taekwon-Do pictures, but another sport I have taken up in the last year is running!  In May 2011 I'll be doing my fist officially timed 10K race!

A New Stitchy Friend

The other day I and the opportunity to meet this wonderful lady and stitcher, Julie!  She lives in my neck of the woods and had heard about me from another stitching friend.  Despite a few e-mails back and forth we haven't managed to meet up!  Finally we were in the same place at the same time, and got to meet!  Julie and I have decided we DEFINITELY have to get together and stitch really soon, as time was short and we couldn't have a good long visit.

Julie I really look forward to seeing you again, and getting to know you!

Take Time To Remember

Today, November 11th is Remembrance Day, are you wearing your poppy?  I've been wearing mine since November 1st.  I hope everyone takes a moment out of their busy lives and observes a minute of silence at 11am.  Take this time to stop the chaos and focus your thoughts, prayers, and energy on those who served to help form the world we live in today, those who are currently serving in Afghanistan and other areas of the world to help protect the rights of the innocent.

Thank you to all the men and women who have served, are serving and will serve in the future.  We could not have the wonderful lives we do without you!

At work we'll be marking this day with a fantastic Remembrance Day assembly.
