The roads continue to be treacherous and icy, causing chaos and slippery conditions, ice falling from buildings and bridges, cars and trucks flipping over, and schools are still closed. Our 3 day weekend turned into a 9 day weekend. A few neighbors, however, decided to take lemons and make lemonade. I thought they could have done well by offering rides to the grocery store for supplies.So in the meantime, I'm working on Ithra, Girl Scouts, and generally just goofing around. I need to get some quilting done. I'm not inspired to work on the project that I have on the frame, but I need to write to the owner to get a replacement backing--I just can't use the 100% polyester made in China bedsheet on the back of an antique quilt. I can't let that happen. I wrote to the owner and begged her to give me something different or let me use something from my stash.
Now for some less cheerful news. Dad had a stress test yesterday and had some rather disturbing results, so is going in for an angiogram today to let him know what the next step is--could be bypass surgery. Pray, if you're the praying sort.
Enjoy your weekend, stay warm, and have a hot cuppa...
It's lovely outside. Hopefully you're not having to deal with too many shortages! We lucked out and our snow washed away the next day in rain.
ReplyDeleteSending positive thoughts, prayers, etc. to your dad. You seemed to rock at teaching a certain remedial Hogwart's class one summer. Somewhere I have photographic proof. I envy your snow, but I'd only want three days of it at most... after that I'd have to drink heavily or commit murder. I hope the quilt owner listened to your advice.
