It’s been a busy year here…filled
with small trips, conventions, and volunteer work. We even had fun.
We mixed sickness with
work and smiling. G had an inflamed
stomach and the tag end of shingles. No
matter what, we both went to the gym and pool almost every day. Even when he wasn’t being healthy, he worked. He loves his job. Subrogation is a bit like playing with
puzzles all day long. He was the literature
person for a convention, treasurer for a big organization, and volunteer at the
Automotive Museum in Balboa Park too. He
also dieted his way back into his good clothes.
Handsome man.
I struggled with a “Crow
Quilt” all year that required more mathematical finesse than my brain owned, dieted
semi successfully losing 33 pounds, volunteered as a backup printing person for
a convention, and worked as booklady/sorter/Facebook person for the Discovery shop
here. Every day I took fresh photographs
mostly editorial things. As he began
working longer hours, I took over the housfrau position at home. Those who know me well know I am the least
housewifeish person around. Yes, I
coughed through all of this with continual bronchitis.
Other adventures included the
usual computer and photohost struggles. Mid-year
we moved out for termite tenting. We also
went to Las Vegas to see Penn and Teller….which produced a series of brief architectural
articles. At the fair we had too much
fun, we enjoyed the Spring Round-up, and we loved Comic Con where we also
volunteered. Here and there we enjoyed
Margot and Zoe too…especially for the Christmas Concert. Mage’s biggest adventure all throughout the
year was beginning to discard unused though loved belongings. Everything in every room got a good going
through. Achooooooooooooo!!! And of course it all needs going through
again.
Sometimes I feel that
there isn’t much we do. Obviously I am
wrong. Except for the coughing, we have had
a pretty good balance…and thank you all for being part of our lives.
Busy and happy! A retrospective!
