Retroblog Things I did 1981(?)

Here are some things I did this year.

I visited a park, zoo, or jungle; and another state.

I made a collection of horses.

I got an A in MOST of my classes.

I read a book about the black Stallion.

I watched a movie.

I took a music lesson.

I learned how to chorchet.

I kept a secret.

I made a mistake.

There are more parallels between 1981 and 2009, the young Nettie and the Auntie Nettie.

This year, I visited another state AND a park.

I made a collection of yarn and books, rediscovered my collection of horses and sea shells.

I got a sunburn.

I read LOTs of books.

I watched t.v., movies, saw a parade of horses, and saw falling stars in the shape of fireworks.

I took a surprise to a friend, and took an imaginary trip to lots of places and planets.

I kept secrets, records, copies, and treasures.

I made mistakes, things to wear, and things to eat.

Most importantly, I crocheted lots of things in Auntie Nettie's Attic. I may have originally learned how to crochet back in 1981, but I put the hook down and forgot. It wasn't until 1995 that I picked a hook back up and I've been "hooked" ever since. I'm no expert, but I keep trying to learn how to do new stitches and make new projects. I make enough to try and keep me in yarn. Next year will be the 15th Anniversary of the Attic. WOW!
