[Marilynsgrammy]

Good morning. It's going to be a marvelous day today. We should see the 60's and Tuesday is supposed to be the next un-foggy day. The fog really frizzes my hair. I have been using anti-frizz shampoo by Garnier and it seems to be helping and thankfully it doesn't smell like coconut.

Yesterday I was able to organize my kitchen a little better. Not sure if it will stay this way but so far so good. Amazing how many things I no longer use. Like cheese graters. I buy already grated cheese. The large bbq spatula, and three ladles when I only need one. and on and on it goes.

Yesterday the grass got dry enough that I got a little weed eating done. I really don't have grass, it's just whatever grows here, weeds is what I call it. It's just over ankle deep and I wanted it cut down in spots where I walk and where the window installers will need to put ladders. I started weed eating, looked up and the fog was rolling in. I came inside and looked; the fog had rolled out. I took a shower and the fog was back.

I have a small tree stump where a dead tree was cut and I'd like to see if I can dig it out today. And if the grass dries out I would like to weed eat some more.

Judi, I would love fresh fish, but I just don't like to cook it because I don't like the smell. glad you and Ken had a fun day

Lois, when you don't have to be anywhere it's the perfect day for snow

Maryz, yay for your team winning the game last night. I didn't watch the game but saw the score, dang those hawks were on fire. My ghost book will be here soon too. Nope, I really don't need a big pantry and I have a lot of empty cupboards in my kitchen, and a lot of partially full cupboards. It's a big house for one person, but I ain't moving. I bet that recliner and heating pad felt good.

Diane, will the next quilt be for you? MS has some great tutorials.

Lyn, Yay for having the laundry done and a beading project started. Aren't dogs funny, Minnie knows your routine so she can get her cuddle. So glad Garry got to talk with Marilyn, I bet it was good for both of them. As for a clean house, eh, it will happen when it happens. Funny, I do a load of laundry, look through the lid of the washer and really can't see too well what is going on inside. the lid is not clear and usually has a sort of fog on it from the warm water, but I still try to look. Not sure how long it will be before that novelty wears off.

Maryq, I am really looking forward to cleaning up my garage, again. And I'm sure that it will need to be done over and over. I wish my nephew would come look through the tools and such. There is just so much out there. Our nearby tourist town has little lending libraries all over. They are like a cupboard on a pedestal. You can take a book or leave a book. They aren't maintained, they are just available.

Valerie, I don't know about the local quilt shops around here. One just closed down and now another is on it's way to closing. That leaves only a few and they are two hours away and in different directions. Here is the link to that book, you can read some of the pages, I think it sounds like a cute story. https://www.amazon.com/dp/1774885379?re ... asin_title

Lori, Sisters and QIAD are both on my todo list. Your quilt is perfect, what a great pattern.

Jana, glad the babies are thriving. huge blessing. Like our pets your Mr. G, knows how things need to be done and doesn't want to deviate from a schedule.

So, I was shopping online yesterday, looking at bathroom curtains. Those two windows will need covering first. I saw a polyester shower curtain I like and thought about making curtains from it. I think I will go to the spca sale place and see if I can find a cheapie to practice on. My other plan, but quite costly, is to put accordion shades on each window until I know what I want to do. Or I could thumb tack some sheets up, not. Decisions, decisions.

Not quite sure what dinner will be today, something with leftover rotisserie chicken. I wasn't overjoyed with the low carb tortillas I bought, I thought they would be corn and they were flour.

You girls have a grand day

Please beat the Rams for me. Bears just lost but played better than usual.
Tomorrow to have wind chills -25 so not going to water aerobics but since chores are done I will unfortunately have to have a sew day. Looking forward to that!
Prayers for all the Lord knows who’s in need.

Chriss, I only cook fish outside on the bbq because I don't like the smell in the house.

After watching the Rams win, not my choice, I don't think they stand chance in you know where to beat the Sehawks. Somebody beat the Patriots too! Another team not on my favorite list.

Update on my little one. They expect to keep him until his due date, which was March 2nd. The nurses had some fun with him this morning. After they. cleaned his hair, they styled the hair into a mohawk!
