Winter at Sunshine

This Christmas Once again after 2 years of going back to Kitchener between Christmas and New Years I decided to stay at mom & dad's ever since they picked me up on Dec. 23/13 until Jan. 2/14. Since mom & dad were practically gone from middle of August until begining of December it is a real recuperating/charging my batteries time here at home with mom and dad. We have lots to catch up on and lot of deep things to talk about too.

Below are some picture of the beautiful winterlandscape the ice storm left behind and our 2nd annual cheese foundue at the trailer down by the river (Waldkaffi). We just heated the trailer with a propaine heater ahead of time and it became nice and cozzy. That was on Dec. 24th in the evening.

Procrastination Project Finally Finished

Yes for years that Latch Hook Rug that's been laying around in my apartment, I finally finished it.
It only had 7 rows left but I would just let it sit there for at least the last 3 years.
It took me a bit over 2 hours to finish it tonight, and now it's all done.
I don't remember when I actually started this rug.  It must have been close to 10 years ago, because I remember Grosi or to my nieces and nephews their Urgrosi still worked on it before she died in 2010.
I think I just was so depressed that I thought no matter what I do, I'll still be and feel alone and working on that Rug isn't going to make me feel any better.  In fact I thought it'll only do the opposite and remind me of how painfully alone I am.
However, over the years I started to do a whole lot better and tonight I decided it was time the week before I go and visit mom & dad for Christmas to finish the Rug so mom can finally finish the back and turn it into a pillow or something.
I was surprised how not alone I felt as I finished the rug.  I had a goal, something to finish, I didn't even have any music on and enjoyed the quietness of my apartment.
Back in the days when I started this rug I said I should do this for a living to earn money.
I guess I grew up a bit and realized that I had to high sounding ideas from the beginning and it always only was a hobby which is not my thing anymore.  I grew out of the Latch Hook Rug making.  I'm sure I won't start another one.  This is my second one and it's enough even though they are nice.
