Vince had a medical test done this morning. I had food out to cook and he came home and said "Let's go get a burger. Once I get my results, I probably won't be eating burgers!" Babe's burgers are so good. It was about 2 when we got there so it wasn't crowded. In fact, we were the only ones in there for a while and then another couple came in. Covid numbers are going up every day here. I ...
First Thanksgiving Progress
Maybe "progress" isn't the right word. Don't judge . . please! (1) I know many of you would have given up on this project but I am determined to finish at least some part of it. (2) No doubt, some of you are going to think I'm nuts for ripping that top border all the way out because of ONE stitch. Last night I finished -- not really "finished" but I got the top bunting row far enough along that ...
Black Walnuts
Vince loves black walnuts. I can't say that I've ever had them. He said they have a strong and "different" taste. True? I don't know. That may be like me telling him bad things about my favorite foods that I want him to stay out of! :) Black walnuts grow everywhere around here. Our first house in MO had about 6 of them in the back. Vince swears he never knew there were black walnut trees back ...
Hello December
Can you believe today is December 1? Time flies. It seems like yesterday it was the end of June and I was saying "2021 is halfway over). In just 31 days, we'll be celebrating the New Year. Hard to believe! This time last year we were all hoping 2021 would be much better than 2020, mostly insofar as the pandemic was going. I suppose everyone has different view of how that has gone. My word ...
The Booster
I was hoping that since the Moderna booster wasn't full strength, I wouldn't have a problem with it but about 11:30 last night, I started feeling bad. I took a quick shower and by the time I got in bed, was running fever and was freezing. I tried to get as close to Vince as I could without waking him . . trying to absorb some of his warmth. I don't know if it's true but I had heard not to take ...
Gorgeous Cardinal Chart
This is why I cannot plan ahead with my stitching (but I will still plan ahead, knowing I will not stick with the plan). Last night I saw this Cardinal chart on the Owl Forest (designer of New Year Sampler) website. I told myself I was going to think about it during the night and make a decision this morning. Who could have guessed where this was going? :) I want a cardinal wall. I have ...
