Happy New Year. Jan 7, 2009

Hello,
I cannot believe it has been so long since I had sat down at the computer. Christmas and new year has come and gone. I really had a very nice Christmas. New Years eve night I stayed home. My cats do not like the noise from the guns people shot in the air around here and get very frighten.
The police were going around telling everyone not to shot guns on New Years night, BUT, ....

I was off work for two weeks so I did a lot of quilting. My niece Anna came over, she was here from
UC Santa Cruz and guess what, she went into the quilting room and picked out 2 quilts she just had to have. They had to be finished being bound, but after that they are off to Anna.

Road to California Quilt show is coming up soon, But I think I will be here. I still have 2 vaciences in my apartments and just cannot go running out of town until they get rented.
It is very hard to be a tuff landlord. Times are hard and people are loosing their jobs and then you have to go ask a father with 2 children to move out because they had no job, no money to pay the rent.... and no place to go. But its a business, my business income and so not a free home to stay....
Another tenant has her son, her mother 2 kids and a boyfriend and a dog living in an apartment that was rented to her and one child. I have to go over there today and talk to her and she also has no place to send these people. I know this is far from quilting, but what do I do but let it out.
Well. I am going to go get dressed and go to work, until this afternoon and then go see all the people and break the news....
Have a great quilting day
Nancy
