You are lucky to have a father in law. I am your age, and even my parents have passed.
As stressed as you may feel, I am hoping you are counting your blessings which seem to be bountiful.

Always enjoy your adventures! I finally got to go to my first real cross stitch store, because of you stopping there in Gulf Shores. “Creative Needle Arts”. I told them I heard about their shop from you. Of course I had to buy charts and kit up one, ready to stitch. Was so much fun! Looking forward to seeing the designs of France etc.

This video really inspired me. I’ve been in such a funk for a few years and wondering if I was “past it”. Heck no!! All I need to be is bold like Jan Hicks.😊 Best of luck with the house search and I hope she’s a beauty!

What an exciting time ahead for you and your husband. May the French real estate gods shine upon you! I will be anticipating any retreats you are arranging. I have never been to France and this would certainly be a wonderful opportunity to see the countryside and stitch, sounds so heavenly. Safe travels and happy adventures.🪡🪡

the camera following you was a little wonky to watch but that's probably just my problem Thanks for the video!

Best of luck for your future in France! I learned so much from your videos over the years, thank you. 😊

Well, hello, how nice that your lovely face popped up after a very, very long time on my Youtube feed again 🤗 How wonderful hearing about your plans moving to France, in the next couple of months, too. Well, you really are touring the world it seems and right you are. I'm headed towards touring Germany for a couple of months starting January probably. But "la belle Bretagne et Normandie" have been on my mind now and again to revisit also having been in the area for a couple of trips many many years ago. Coming to one of your upcoming retreats would be just the thing, too as I've never been to any so far. I'm looking forward to hearing more of your France including stitching in France etc. goings on. Cheers, Jan 💖

A retreat in a small French town sounds wonderful!

I love your two new pattern color pallets. Hope all goes well in France.

Loved your opening. I have been to Banff, Jasper, and the Canadian Rockies. Explored with pleasure on a number of trips, including the hot springs. Brought back memories. I have also been to a number of places you named. I enjoyed you talking about creating designs/patterns. Best wishes for Joyclyn in France. 😊
