Where Has The Time Gone

I cannot believe that more than 2 months have past since my last post. We have become more involved with all the expat activities and in this area there are at least 2 things going on so we are trying things to see if we like them and it is keeping us busy. Also the hummingbirds are almost a full time job.

Now for some sad news here is where I was going to post a picture of some Tatting I just finished. The problem is that my phone died last week and the photo was on it and I have already given it away so no chance of getting a picture but I am getting bit by the Tatting bug again so it should not be too long before I have a picture to show you. Instead of the picture here is a quote that caught my attention.

Having a soft heart in a cruel world 

is courage, not weakness.
