It's Christmas day. Tomorrow, we drive to the cottage. This photo reminds me of White's Road, the last 5-8 minutes of the drive to the cottage. We will be staying for one week - a perfect way to end this challenging year. Robert is on the mend & hopefully cancer-free. It's the only thing that really matters.

I have been knitting, of course. Diana, my daughter, went home with one of my shawls yesterday. I will be knitting at the cottage, but I also brought supplies to make a beaded necklace or two. And I am bringing my camera & iPod.
It's amazing how the internet & technology has opened up our daily lives - Facebook has helped me know my Italian cousins better, kept me up to date with my nieces, helped me reconnect with old work colleagues & far away friends, helped me learn new hobbies, & helped me make new knitting friends. My iPod has helped me find my old self through the music of my youth.
So life is good again. And I can knit with contentment.
