Afternoon everyone,

Judy, 10 years, don\'t know why I thought it was more like 12.. We all sure have seen each other\'s families grow, seen lots of ups and lots of downs, lots of sharing..lucky to have each other in our lives..I can just see you laughing and crying while reading those journals..will post a photo of clay pots I saw, reminds me of the ones you and Liz gave me, still have them in back outhouse on display.

Debbie, are you considering returning the camera? Perhaps a new one but one that is much easier to operate, although I think if you kept it and worked with it a bit you would be overjoyed with what it can do

Pat, there are no words, sure wish things would work out a bit better for you..seems when one is down there is always something adding to the load.

Barb, hugs..glad to u had a friend to char with, sometimes it\'s easier to talk with a friend vs hubby. Lanterns can be done anytime.

Karen, we did have a nice time in frankenmuth, perhaps when Lindakay travels north for her fathers funeral we could try once again to meet up, so LIndakay book a few extra days..Debbie could meet me part way and could come as well.
Not that far for judyow that she wears her big girl pants and has started taking the highways, or maybe Jake or the girls could drive her..think it would be about same distance for her as it would for me to drive. I\'d soooo love it!

Just love coming home reading all your posts..it\'s like finding out what the family has been up to, good or bad😉

Didn\'t sleep 1/2 the night, did fall into a sleep and had a wonderful time with my grandma and LINDA in New Orleans, perhaps New Orlens is calling my name.

By 6:30 I had brushed of the car with a room and shortly after Andrew was here to PLOW me out...more snow than I thought we had.

By 8am I had dropped off my car for oil change, of course synthetic oil so $98 later grrrr..while it was being done LINDA and I were a few door down having a wonderful breakfast and chat, finished breakfast just in time to hit my first fabric store, even out my name on the list for a class to learn how to properly use this new quilting rulers then we were off to Michaels..brought the light from my big ott like unit, bulbs were between $29.99-$39.99 imagine for a light bulb, didn\'t matter as they didn\'t have my bulb but they didn\'t have one, said I\'d have to order it from ott..had a 50% coupon so decided the $100 ott light unit would come home with me, easier for my focusing, got to till, nope coupon doesn\'t work on such items, should have known it,was about to bring it back when I remembered I had $63 left on a gift card so nit the bullet and bought it and some storage containers.

Then off to my regular fabric shop, picked up my 2 pkgs of fat quarters, the foot I need for motion quilting on the Janome 1600 Quilter and almost choked, $79.99, still shaking my head, Needed some greens and the Canada maple leaf red fabric for the Canada flag piece I\'m doing..then on to fabricland, big sale, line ups were horrific at the cutting area so decided nope, another day bit they did have a light you can attach to your sewing machine, thought that might help me while my vision isn\'t the best so home it came...heck, might as well get everything done while I was at it, did groceries then to Liquidationand bought 2 more pairs of slacks,,same as last week, different colors, they were so comfy I thought they would be great for lounging. Wonder knows me, she said Melanie had been in earlier and bought a new washing machine and ,either couch set, kept telling me how lovely Mel is..by now I\'m tired, didn\'t really need my prescriptions but thought I might as well pick them up...
Now home ready for a well deserved nap...needless to say I spend my weeks allowance, well perhaps next week\'s as well

Made it no me in time, storms a brewing..Kyle along with his regular job has been grooming trails, he posted photo\'s from last night..snowmobiles are thrilled to see winter back.

I\'m looking for an old chair, love this Christmas chair...I\'m also on the lookout or shall I say LINDA is for me, she is the queen of kijiji and Craigslist for a baby change table..need more storage and I think I could put the large ironing pad I made last year put on the top...

Tired so off for a nap
