Afternoon, rainy day so decided to make the best of it..was

Pat what kind of class are you taking... things like procrastination I.e. your trailer drive me nuts..I rarely think about what I should do because if it’s a to do it gets done lol.

Dianne, your test was today?

lindakay you resting well..is it humid where breathing makes it worse

Susan, hugs. It’s times like this one would love to have mom to talk to..



Sharon You have our winds, Lordy if it doesn’t warm up I will have to do mine again.
Hard to believe Las Vegas is opening 80%, will be interesting to see how Covid situation is over next month or so..I will have to go see what restrictions Oregon has..
Although we have been in emergency stay at home I don’t think our numbers are getting better, think perhaps worse because of variants, especially the one from India..watch the news and it must be overwhelming for them, few have not had a member of their family die.. imagine they sent all countries the vaccines and didn’t do their country first, so I heard.

up at 6am made a coffee and went to tackle that basket of shortening and mending Robert dropped off, just stopped for lunch and figure I’ve another 1 1/2 hours of sewing to finish it off then I will vacuum downstairs as every time I come upstairs my slippers are dragging threads. Decided an easy lunch vegetable soup/crackers.

Once chores are done I’ll sit and go through what I need to try out a new recipe for Tuesday nights dinner, June tried it and said she wasn’t all together thrilled with it but didn’t use lean hamburger and I’ll use homemade spaghetti sauce for my topping over the potatoes..we will see, guess I should have made it a least once before feeding to company. My sister Charlene was making cheesecakes to sell to pass her time so ordered one, my brother is dropping off baking to Sharon so will drop mine off..that will be tomorrow’s desert.

Sharon had an accident yesterday (everyone except vehicle ok) so her Covid shot is tomorrow and no car..I’ll pick her up and she can drop me off, then when she is finished she can pick me up and I’ll drive her home that way I also get the cheesecake.

Today is anniversary of my dad’s death, miss him terribly, when listening to country and western music of days gone by I always remember him singing and yodelling as he enjoyed playing guitar..18 years, hard to believe he has been gone so many years..

As for my projects the old rotten bird feeder has been given a new lease on life, came from Deborah (Cordel G.A). I do cherish all the swap items I was sent or gifted and if I can in anyway repair I do. As for the laminating, think it will work out..this morning gave it a tad of dap to fill in where I joined it, it’s drying..then I decided to get creative with the dap, thinking I’ll try and pain back yard gardens I added dap to create clouds, cement patio stones, texture to give dimension to rock around pond..what a mess.. it’s going to be primitive so doesn’t matter, just to entertain myself.

Best I get back to work, want to call Robert to come get his sewing, will call mel’s Friend to tell her that her pillow is ready...

Big sigh, can feel my energy waning so better give myself one more push
