New Family Members
I have been fighting a mice epidemic for several weeks now. I have tried different types of traps with no real success. So, a friend brought 2 cats. They are brothers and beautiful cats. They have been here for a day now and haven't made an effort to catch a mouse yet. I am hoping they will settle in and start catching them soon. I haven't seen a mouse since they got here, but I hear one every once in a while. I am so sick of cleaning up after them. Washing dishes only to have them poop on them is getting old fast!
Check out my "boys"!

New Year New Goals
As a rule I don't make "New Year's Resolutions" because I almost always break them. This year, instead of "resolutions", I have set a few goals.
I recently joined an online book club. I have always loved to read, but don't always spend time on reading. This book club looked like a good way to motivate myself to read more and spend less time in front of the computer. I have set a goal of 100 books to read this year. This club's members share their goals and what they are reading and what they rate the books they have read. It is a good way to learn about authors I haven't read.
Another goal I have set is to read the Bible from Genesis to Revelation this year. I have come close a few times, but Satan always seems to put road blocks in my way. Not this time! With God's help I will finish this year.
One more goal I hope to achieve is to pay off some of my larger bills. I have one I should pay off in May. Then I can concentrate on paying some of the others off. Like I have told a few people, some of my debt was brought on by bad choices on my part and others thrust upon me by circumstances I couldn't control.
I have not been making cards or jewelry lately. I hope once I get some bills paid off, I can afford to buy some new jewelry supplies. I really want to try my hand at memory wire.
I hope I can do some festivals this year if I can find someone willing to help me. We will see how it works out.
