When I started this blog last year, my friends asked me what I would do when my 45th year ended, since I named this blog specifically for my 45th year challenge. My reply, as those who know me well would expect, was, "I'll think about that when it happens." I thought I might find blogging...

Well, winter in Rochester is always a little bleak, but this one seemed more than usual! Not that that completely explains my lack of posting.

According to Wikipedia, there were 5,595 people in Rushville as of the 2000 census. When I left town (1981), there were about 7,000 people there. Some other facts of...

The bad news is that DD has a cold, and now I am home trying to fight it off too because I canNOT get sick! The good news is that I got my invitation to Ravelry yesterday so now I have an excuse to lie around all day and explore!
