2015 Review


January

Time to get started on quilting projects.

At the end of January, the Scotties Tournament of Hearts was held in our town & we watched all the games with the exception of one. Learned alot about the game of curling & really enjoyed it.

February
Albert went to volunteer with MDS in New York which left me with lots of time to quilt, read & practice some winter photography.

My cousin, Lois, came to visit for a few days & we drove to Portage to visit my Mom & enjoyed a Valentine's Day tea with her.


March
After lots of quilting during the winter, we left for a a two week vacation to Florida with our oldest son, his wife & youngest son.  Special family times.



April
We did have an early spring but it didn't warm up fast. Albert built this handy garden shed in our backyard.

May

Celebrating Mother's Day with my Mom & my 2 sons.

Celebrated my Mom's 99th birthday at the end of May.

June

Always look forward to the wild roses blooming in the roadsides.

 Plane ride with my son to Steinbach.

July

Road trip with traveling buddy/cousin to BC & Alberta.

Sister birthday celebration.

August

Found this wooden trestle bridge on one of our rides in the country.

Marked 2 years on August 8th since we said good bye to Barry & Zach.

 September
Hubby & I went on a sightseeing trip to the Rocky Mountains.
Amazing scenery provided amazing photo opps.

October

A long, colourful fall = lots of photos.


 November

 Made this cranberry toned quilt for a door prize for my church's Christmas banquet.
 



 Celebrated a special birthday - hubby's 70th - & hired a limo for a ride to Wpg. & supper out with our family.

December
Christmas with our kids - card game.

I chose a special magazine for each one for a stocking stuffer.


And that was 2015 & some of the highlights for myself & my family.
