It’s cold and snowy in North Iowa as you can see by Telly’s chin. Yes, I am still sick but have been back to the clinic today and came home with some major drugs. I am going to assume they will work in the allotted 5 days so we will start the Rug Along on Tuesday January 5.
Happy New Year to you and yours!

no way to start the new year, take it easy and get well. I do so enjoy your blog and miss your great writings. Praying for a quick now recovery. Long enough right? Happy whatever 2016 brings you.
So glad to hear from you, I was starting to get worried. My prayers are with you.
Dear Mary, I do hope you are soon well again. I feel like you are a good friend and if you weren’t somewhere over in the States I’d make a big jar of soup for you.
love,Noel.
I am sorry you are still sick! I bet the dogs are having fun in the snow at least:)
Happy New Year !! Hope you feel better real soon.
Dear Mary
Wishing you well soon and a good and healthy 2016
From Nevada.
Ron could not beat his cancer and passed on Dec 7. He was 72. It is quiet here.
That was a long time ago we lived in Mason City.
Now we have been in Las Vegas 7 years already where our kids and grandkids are.
Oh, Rhoda, please accept my sympathy! It must have been a tough Christmas season for you without Ron – I’m glad your kids are there. I can’t imagine how your life will change – I wish only the best for you in 2016.
Happy New Year Mary. Hope you get to feeling better.
Mary, what do you have?get well.
Am so sorry you are still sick, Mary! This just won’t do! We need you to get well …
I think this holiday season has been rough on so many in so many ways. Doesn’t help to see the ice on the dog’s chin! Makes me just shudder seeing it and remembering how cold cold can be, moreso when one is not well.
Maybe you need a “sitter” instead of “sitting the dogs”?
Happy New Year and hope you’re feeling better soon!!!
Hope you start to feel better,Mary. It’s a bummer to be sick.
Feel better soon. I think hugging and giving Telly a New Year’s Eve kiss would greatly help. It’s icy, snowy , and cold here also. Hope you and yours have a Happy New Year!
Best wishes for a speedy recovery! Happy New Year to you and yours and to all your dear animals.
Hope the drugs help you get well.
Wishing you a Blessed 2016
Oh Mary, I was afraid of that. Missed hearing from you, but I am sure you were in bed! Feel better very soon!! Happy and healthy 2016. Make strips for rug is on my list:)
Mary, I am so sad that you are still so sick. Those bad bugs just like to be with you. Look at Telly, that little brain is with you until the end. It’s as though you and dog had made a lifelong vow, just to stick it out. This will be your best year yet, Lois Palmisano, Omha
PS I got the gypsy wife pattern to make in batis!!, Thanks to you. I would not have known about it except for you. L
