Winding Down the Year 2014 edition

This would be a Random Thoughts Before the Coffee Kicks In but I have had half a cup and a decent night’s sleep so I am awake.

I ran through my blog from the past year to see if anything leapt out at me. We did a lot of conventions. And I had a number of friends around my age or younger pass away this past year.

I made puppets and wish I had made more. Still have some commissioned pieces on the docket. Might want to get started on those sooner rather than later.

I got some writing done and helped out with some other projects Peter and I have been working on. I would like to get more written and sold.

Overall it was not a horrid year. Felt a lot more stable since the beginning of 2013 found Peter going from hospital to rehab and we hadn’t a clue what condition he was going to be in when he got out.

Caroline is doing well. She has adjusted to middle school and enjoys it more than elementary school. More of a challenge for her.

Ariel graduated from Sacred Heart University with a master’s in education. She moved to Knoxville and is now engaged.

Gwen is doing well. She continues to keep herself busy working on various projects that she is interested in and she still loves her job at the museum.

Shana’s theater expanded to two screens this year. They are doing pretty well. They have been able to hire more full time and part time workers. They have had some rather interesting programs come through their venue.

Peter wrote and wrote and wrote. Since that is what he loves to do, then it is not a bad thing.

I had both successes and failures. On the whole I did pretty well considering what was going on.

I am ready to put this year in the books and move onto the next one.

I am grateful for all the good things this year has provided me.
