2023 Wrap up

 Hi,

Hope you all are doing well. I am doing this post to document what I accomplished in 2023.

We went on camping trips  - back across to California, Pennsylvania and Ocean City MD. In California it was the coolest, wettest winter there in a long time. The weather was bothering me. I was hoping for warmer weather but we persevered. On our travel home we stopped in Las Vegas and saw Luke Bryan. Great show. 

I completed stitching the following projects.
