It is so foggy outside (how foggy is it?) It's so foggy I can't see across the street. I love it.
Recently the neighbor has been piling up dead limbs and trees that have fallen. Some oak trees in this area have some kind of disease and have just rotted from the inside out. Oak trees will also save themselves. They will drop a limb to save the rest of the tree. So the neighbor has a few piles of brush and logs and rotten unusable wood. Jerry has set one of them on fire and hopefully it will go quickly. We have been waiting for a burn permissive day.
Yesterday I made quick unimpressive stockings for Marilyn and Noah, Jerry will ship their box to them this morning, it usually gets there the next day, but we will see, with the holidays it might take extra time. We were going to go see the kids but with their work schedules and my training schedule we will have to wait till next year.
Yesterday I made some practice blocks for my Tranquil Triangle quilt. I think they will make a nice quilt. I also cleaned my machine, gave it a new needle and changed my rotary cutter blade. And, I started a jelly roll race quilt. Today I hope to at least get my HST's sewn and cut so I can get started on the Alzheimer's quilt.
Judi, you said hug someone you care about, consider yourself hugged. Caesar salad sounds wonderul. I need to make a salad, I have the fixin's just need to wash the lettuce. I use a salad spinner, greatest invention ever.
Maryz, I made the boys some basic boring stockings earlier. For next year I'd like to make nice stockings for everyone but need to start much earlier than December. We should get rain on Thursday. So glad you will meet with Cindy and Sue, give them both my very best, they are both missed as is Chickie and Joanne. That Starry Night pattern is so cute. Can't wait to see it finished. I, thankfully, have the HST trimming ruler from QIAD. It's a life saver as is the shape cut ruler from Tailer. Creative Grids, my favorite rulers, has a strip cutting ruler too but I haven't checked it out.
Becca, if you really want to organize come here and start in my sewing room. I could really use the help. I am spilling out onto the floor. We also just give cash. Both kids have their needs met and cash helps them with some of their wants. Be sure to give us the update on Brodee's doctor appointment today. I've already said a prayer.
Diane, cookies with coffee are way more important than lights. When we were kids grandma would make us kid coffee and we would dunk oreos in it. a good memory.
Flo, you have a monkey puppy. Monkey would have been a good name. make sure to add a belly rub from me.
Jana, yay for the last PT visit. Michael really has come a long way. Is he off the oxygen? Really happy with his results as I am sure you are too. Love love love your hair cut. It really suits you, I have to admit I've gone back a couple of times just to see your smiling face, it makes me smile back at you
Tina, I need to make updated stockings too. Your apples and oranges reminded me of when we used to go see Santa (put on by the Lions club played by my grandpa) and the stocking was made of mesh and in the toe were always an orange and some Brazil nuts. another good memory.
Sharona, could you stop by and pick up our package that needs to go to the post office? I can pretty much ditto to everything you typed. You also have a glorious day.
Maryq, nope, not anxious or excited at all to open my SS gift
Are you kidding. I'm tapping my foot and strumming my fingers, I'm checking this forum a zillion times a day. UGH. And, don't know if you have noticed but Tina has been picking on me. I think the head Santa should give her a time out. Velda, that hair cut really lightens up your whole face. you are so cute. I've thought about curls but am chicken. you look great. I've also thought, as you know, of color but the gal that cuts my hair said any color would be very dominate with my grey. Hey, looks like you have decorated since I last saw pictures of your new house, looks good. Love the mirrors.
Valerie, congrats to you Josiah will have a wonderful great grandma. We are looking forward to pictures too. Fun, you posted the baby is on his way and it's like we all get to be great grandma's. Yep, I know, scrappy quilts and yard sales, whoda thunk?
Lori, I'm not a sandwich fan either. I also order things without bread. Bet you are in heaven with son time. Hope he gets to stay for a long time.
Lyn, sorry the houses didn't work out. The perfect place will drop in your lap when the time is right. I thought about a perm to get rid of the frizzies, but I am sure mine will turn into an afro and not be suitable at all. Chicken I guess.
Well, I need to go send Marilyn her box and get to sewing. The boys get out of school in a few hours and I would like to go to Rite Aid because I need body wash and to look around to see what else I might need.
You girls have a fantastic day,
xo

I guess I was just too tired because the next day it just came to me
