We are heading into a very wet and windy week here. JANA, brace yourself! It's coming your way! Sorry 'bout that!
Yesterday was chiro appt, then a round of errands - Costco, Safeway, pick up mail, Kohl's for shoes. When we got home I whipped up a bunch of Jan lotto blocks. A fun, easy, and quick pattern this month. Today will be uglies and cleaning my sewing room - again. Sigh.
TINA - you are too cold for me!! No - no top soil! The pond is in a different part of the yard. Remember, our 'yard' is 2-1/2 acres. We are putting the crushed rock in the path of where we drive the truck and trailer to park. In summer it's no problem, but it's wet in winter and after all the construction vehicles and equipment, it's gotten muddy. We need the traction. We'll toss out some grass seed, too, to encourage the grass to come back to further anchor the soil come summertime. Bill had a truck load delivered yesterday and he's spreading it with the tractor now. Hopefully he will get it finished before rains come back later today.
JANA - So glad to hear your good news!! Such a relief, I'm sure! Big hug! Bummer, though, that he needs to go through it all again in March. Yes, we may play again! And this time it will be our turn! We ARE taking turns, aren't we?
BECCA - did you say a while ago that you now have palliative care for CA? What do they do for him? If you looked into it with them or with your doctor, you just might get a nurse or phebotomist to make a house call for those blood draws and save him trips to the doctor/lab. When you do errands, is he able to stay at home by himself?
LORI - as for our rocks, we WANT grass to grow up in the rocky area. We'll have the traction we need, but the look of mowed grass. And it's just all wild grass, not lawn. When the rocks settle in, we'll be able to mow next summer with the tractor.
CAROL - good luck with your quilt entry! What kind of quilting machine do you have? Ours is a Nolting and we've had it for 11 years now. Love it!
Tonite, instead of staying home, watching the ball drop on the east coast, and going to bed at 9:30, we're going out! It's only 2 miles away so I feel OK about being on the road. Going to a steak dinner and then dancing. We'll be with our friends who are bringing their visiting relatives from TN. I'm almost certain we'll be home by 10pm, but we'll see. We used to go dancing several times a week but haven't for years. Now we both have hip issues, plus my back. We'll see how it goes! I may be in the ER by 10pm!
What's the New Years story at YOUR house?
