39* here. Brrr... Warming to a sunny 50* later today. Our forecast for the next 9 days at least. We got a few hours of yard work in yesterday afternoon. We decided we want our front redone for easier maintainance. I'm going to talk to my neighbor I walk with every morning - she and her husband own a landscaping business. I hope he's willing to do the design and work for us.
I also sewed two more potholders - Lori Holt's Santa pattern. I'll finish them off today. I got my little woolie turkey done last night (a gift from my SS) and started another one - a snowman gazing at the Christmas Star in the night sky (a gift from my SS last year, Kathy). The woolies make great TV work in the evenings in front of the fire.
This morning Bill and I both have dental cleanings and then he doesn't know it yet, but we need to stop at the grocery store. Then home to vacuum or sew or ?? More yard work this afternoon when it's warmer out.
We got word this morning that Uncle Ernie's house sold! It was only on the market for 5 days. We accepted an offer halfway between our asking price and what we expected it to actually sell for. So I think everyone is happy. Bill's cousin, the executor, moves to Mesa, AZ on Thursday so it's extra nice that this happened before he left.
JANA - I'm glad that you redid your blocks. Now you'll always feel an extra jolt of satisfaction when you look at that wallhanging. And its' good that you and Sarah were able to salvage the old blocks! You tell your nephew I'll be sitting with him at your Hawks/Niners watch party!!
BECCA - I, too, never expected the twins to survive at 23 weeks. But they've shown what they, and all the rest of your family, are made of! I expect great things of them through their lives. How did Brodee do with his LP yesterday? Are the Asian beetles the ones that look like ladybugs, but aren't?
CHICKIE - what wonderful costumes everyone came up with! I'm sure you had a terrific time! Would love to have been there! And what a wonderful surprise - another great grand baby on the way! End of May is when MY son was born. May I suggest May 27th as a good day to have a baby?
LIVER!!! Worse than fish!! Good gosh, woman! I'm going to have to come back there to Kansas and clean our your freezer! Now it's all contaminated!!TINA - glad your dr appt went well. What's up with your doc? an accident waiting to happen? And we didn't SEE the Denver game, but texted back and forth with my Colorado DBIL as he watched it and we watched the Hawks. Poor Al was crying, I swear! Bill goes grocery shopping with me, too. I carry the list and he pushes the cart. And we'll be at the grocery store in about 2 hours from now.
I guess I better get on my horse - we leave for the dentist in one hour and I'm still in my jammies. I gotta get in the shower! Now my hair will be wet.
Supper - I forgot to make it yesterday as we were working in the yard. So I ended up heating up a package of frozen chili on the woodstove while we watched the news last night. so today - chicken!
and you?
