Good morning!

Cold, bright and sunny.

Aaron had one of those weird days yesterday. Had us all laughing at what some people do! He was working out of his normal area, helping out in the Park City area. This driver sped up, and passed him, then slowed way down in front of Aaron and while driving, opened and closed the driver's door, and waving out the open door. Aaron wondered, what in the world, so stayed behind, waiting to see if the guy pulls over and Aaron radioed for a trooper to assist. A trooper came and the guy then took off, trying to out run the trooper. Didn't succeed and finally pulled over. The guy was higher than a kite on cocaine. Then the fun story comes out, the guy expected Aaron to refuel the car's gas tank on the fly, as they drove down the road! The guy told the trooper that Aaron was not helping and was very mean, etc. Aaron never even got out of his truck. The troopers were doing all they could to keep proper demeanor as they hauled the guy off to jail. They all had a good laugh, later.

Dinner here is leftover polenta and sauce with salad.

Mary - oh how I wish that rhodies would grow here. They are one of my favorite flowers. Every spring, as a child,, we would take a drive over to San Francisco to see the rhodies in bloom in Golden Gate Park.

Well, time to go get going on a quilt for my bed. J7st need to load it and meander quilt it.

Stay Safe,
Hugs,

Good afternoon from yet another snowy but sunny day in SW. Pa....Yep, got up to more snow and now we have a total of 8 1/2 inches but sitting here at the desk, looking out at the empty field across from me, it really is pretty.....But, once again, I had to push that snow around, just to get my garbage can off the curb and of course get my newspaper...The person who delivers is good at getting it close to the front steps, now if I could just train them to toss it on the porch......

Mary, you old "Sew n Sew", love it except for the old! Just want you to know, you visited my dream last night...Most of my dreams take place where I was born, in the house way before my sister and her family took over and remodeled.....But, you were visiting and you and some of my kids went to see someone but when you got back you promised to bake a peach pie..I even told you I had premade crust but you said, no way, you'd make your own....OK, Mary, I'm still waiting for that pie! I was also hemming a pink dress which was really ugly...I really should have my dreams looked into......
Getting Kevin to come over and shovel my snow would mean he'd have to shovel his own 1st and he really prefers to let it just melt...For someone who was out the door very early in the AM, he is loving every minute of his retirement...He's my funny kid, always has a story, much like Jana's boys...He does his grocery shopping as soon as the store opens but not to wake Kessie (the dog), he'll put his clothes in the living room the night before....Terry and his wife are doing fine...They are both working from home and loving it....And you did mention you like to walk in the snow, we'll come on over, you'd really have fun......

Jana, I agree with you, desk should be moved but I can understand how some do get attached to certain things....Aaron should be writing a book...He's really had some experiences, hasn't he?

Becca, Hoping your not snowed in, too much.....We've had so many things closed around here, it's best to call, not that I'd be going out, not even thinking about it.....And thinking back, learning to embroidery was my 1st and I've loved it ever since.....And you're right about nature being cruel...We all learn about nature but we do get so attached to these creatures, it's heart breaking when something happens...

Zfatcat (I love that)...72 degrees on Feb. 2nd is unhead of and I'm extremely green with envy....I'm about to start counting the days until spring....AND I don't know why I complain, I don't have to go out (well to get my paper), I'm quite comfy in my little house.....Your day sounds perfect, enjoy......

Here I am saying I don't have to go any where BUT, if I want a super, home cooked dinner, I need to get to my sister's tonight......She called and told me, she was cooking and would even have one of her boys come and get me....So, I'm thinking, stuffed meatloaf, mashed potatoes, gravy, a veggie and I'm sure something special for dessert is really hard to pass up, right?????

You all have a great rest of the day......

Happy eating..................

Well bummer, I posted this morning, but apparently didn't submit it. I was looking for a photo I wanted to add to the post and got sidetracked by a phone call from Dr's office. The barium x-ray appointment is scheduled for 8:15 Thursday morning, followed by my hospital follow up appointment with my primary Dr at 10:00.
Disability insurance denied my medical leave. I would sure appreciate your prayers for God to lead me in the direction He wants me to take regarding returning to work or continue to stay home until I know my body will handle being at work.

When doing ruler work, does it require a special type of ruler, or can the regular rotary cutting rulers be used?

Supper tonight was some Chinese rice that Charles (DS) made.

Mary/Rosebud

Mary/Rosebud - You are confused because people call it ruler work. They are really quilting templates. No you cannot use rulers you use for rotary cutting. Templates are usually thicker depending on the kind of machine. There are quilting templates made for domestic machines, but you need a special foot to use them.
I will keep you in my prayers that the disability does come through and that the doctors are able to find out what is wrong.
