Re: Thursday December 24,2020
Good morning!
I didn’t make it here yesterday. For some reason I just could not get on the forum and finally gave up after two hours.
Suzette, I was so sorry to hear your brother had an accident while towing his trailer. What happened? Were they injured? Was the truck totaled? How about the trailer? Did it overturn? This has never happened to us, knock on wood, but it has happened to friends of ours and I know What an accident like that could be like and I really feel for your brother and hope he and his girlfriend are OK.
Lyn, hope the boat repair isn’t too big deal. I saw your quilt in photos. I know your sister will love it!
Mary Q, got snow? Do Kevin and family still plan to come for Christmas?
Judi, how about you? Any snow? Poor Ken! I really hope he can get in to have his tooth fixed before February. How is your poor pet pig feeling?
Chriss, Does Marilyn graduate in June? Does she have a job? I hope your fog clears so you can check out the Christmas skies tonight. We have been cloudy so no Christmas star here.
Autumn’s Library has been closed to walk-in patrons since March. But they do have curbside pick up and they try to have a weekly craft kit prepared to tuck in with kids’ books. In January, for MLK, they will be giving out little kits to make friendship bracelets. Guess who got volunteered to make the kits! So yesterday Al & Tina, Bill and I were busy at the picnic table. Bill had a board and put a nail in each end, 40 inches apart. We wound embroidery thread around those two nails, snipped it, coiled it up, and tucked each coil into a little Ziploc. Each kit consists of four strands of embroidery floss, each a different shade in a color family. Kind of tedious, but fun to help my daughter and make some kids happy. All totaled, this will be four or five hours of work. We will finish today.
We are having a pork roast dinner with my sister and brother-in-law tonight and tomorrow we are taking our outdoor stove and making pancake brunch in autumn‘s backyard.
Merry Christmas, everyone! And a special Christmas prayer for our friend, Kathy.

Good morning!
Still dark and cold here. We should have snow with the temps as low as they are! 16 is just a bit cold!
Not much for me today. Just put the roast in the oven and make the rice. My girls have everything else. Sarah is feeling great. Gets tired easily and still has problems fitting in her pants from the post op swelling, but that is disappearing daily.
The controller for the train went and broke yesterday. Ethan got to run it for a time before it broke. We will find a better one in the next year for next Christmas. Ethan and Grandpa tried all their bag of tricks, but it still was not working right.
So, Merry Christmas Eve! Enjoy however you celebrate! There is much to be grateful for!
Hugs,
Jana

This morning I'm going to make a quick visit to my lqs. The women there are friends and want to wish them Merry Christmas. I don't think the store will be busy today. Everyone is doing last minute shopping (food).
I have gifts to give Laura and my nephew, Nick, for tomorrow. The wind is picking up and the heavy rains are due in the afternoon so I want to go out early and get back before the storm visits.
Whether you have snow or rain--I hope everyone has a great Merry Christmas.
Stay safe.

Blessings on Christmas Eve
Just waiting to hear when DGS will be here. A few last minute things but mostly just routine stuff. Santa packages to wrap and then that is done. Need to remember to get my roast out so it will thaw.
Anyone know how to contact Amazon? I tried going to customer service button but what I need is not an option. I had DBIL package delivered, Amazon turned it over to the USPS whose tracking says it was delivered to his mail box but he says it is not there. Very frustrating. He is in South Jordan Utah.
Glad to hear Kathy is starting some PT. That is a good sign.
Hope everyone's Christmas is joyous and blessed. MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Good Morning Girls
******MERRY CHRISTMAS EVE***********
Oh what a difference a day makes! WE HAVE SNOW! And lots of it! Hard to tell how much really, as it was super windy (50mph gusts) so there are drifts every where. But my sweet neighbor has already done my drive way... his snow blower broke, so he, wife and kids came over and shoveled! Gosh I love those guys!
Lois.... Oh gosh... so sorry your back went out!!! Doesn't it just figure when you have so much to do your back decides to give you trouble. Hope it feels so much better with a little heat and rest!
Maryz.... Being such a ninny about driving on snowy roads.... I may have to tell Kevin to stay put, tho he will probably ignore me. MN does such a great job with plowing, but as I checked traffic cameras on line this morning... there's still a lot of ice on the highway. How fun to be able to help Autumn with her project! Heck.. just to sit outside at a picnic table sounds wonderful... it's 7 below here!
Jana.... So sorry about the train... I bet Ethan is bummed... I'm assuming that the controller makes everything go.... If Michael can't fix it.... time for a new one!
Flo.... Holy Moly.... You will be spending the whole day in the kitchen today for sure baking all that! I cheated, I bought 2 Sara Lee pies at the grocery store.. Apple and Cherry...
Diane... Hope you get all your errands run before a storm moves in.... Did you get in and out of the LQS without buying anything? Is that even possible?
Becca... Wishing you and all your family a Merry Christmas..Enjoy your face time call! Ain't technology great!
Judi... That's what Christmas is about... being together and sharing such fun memories! Cherish every moment!
Caroline... Quiet day at your house too today? I've got Christmas music playing to get me in the mood. In a few minutes I'll probably turn on all my Christmas tree lights just to help.
Valerie... Oh gosh I hope your BIL can find his package. Sometimes when they say mail box, they really mean door step. USPS has a contract with Amazon to take over some packages and even do Sunday delivery of some.
I did manage to pin a small quilt yesterday, but after that I crashed. It was a do nothing day.... ended up on the couch about 3pm and watched TV all afternoon and embroidered my State Flowers.. Only about 12 more to go then they will be done. Wonder how long they will sit in the UFO pile??? Only a little clean up to do this morning, will run the vac just before the kids come tomorrow, so think I head down stairs to sew a bit.
Merry Christmas Everyone!
