It's cold out there

If you have been out any place in North America this last week, you know how cold its been. We found this frozen fountain several miles from home. It is three crosses with spraying water. Quite lovely in summer surrounded by plantings, but quite dramatic when its frozen. It is beginning to warm up this week. so it may not last too much longer.


This is Peach, a new dog for one volunteer at the museum. He sent me this photo some time ago, but I lost it in the computer. I just popped up today, but the file for the all the Kodak prints are missing. I'll find the file some place on the computer, I hope, I pray. If not I'll get my IT person (Britknitter) to find it.
Now another photo of Tyler, sleeping in his chair. Big sister, Kaia preformed at Disney World yesterday, with her dance group. Photos soon I hope. I'm heading to Lancaster on Thursday, for a fun weekend of quilting.

Twice in one day

I'm back, forgot to include a photo of Cocoa. Cocoa lives in Blackwood with Theresa, my niece. She is about five years old. Theresa has to go to Great Britian for job training in early spring. I have volunteered to cat sit in my home. That is one way to get a new animal in the house, if only for a short time.

I'm Back

I haven't been anywhere. Just post holiday blues, mid-winter blahs, and economy worries. Mostly number 3. Family and friends loosing jobs, hours being cut and benefits lost. Probably having to dip into the small savings account to pay the heater repairman today. Hey I'm upset about the repair too. The house is only eight years old, and the heater pipes are rusting away. Builder is out of business, so we are paying for it our self.
This week I have two meeting. Both the knitting and quilting groups. I will be great to see friends, chat and see what everyone finish during the holiday break.



A new photo of Tyler, at one month. He has gained over three lbs. and grew more then 2". Getting to be a little chubby.


A pair of socks that I finished while in Florida, with yarn Britknitter gave me for Christmas.

One last photo of the beach in Florida. Almost 80 that day. Here today it is about 25. Quite a change.
