Spring Is Only 78 Days Away!!

January 2, 2015

Good morning.  Today will be a few degrees warmer, I think.  (only a few though)  Old Man Winter might be a likable old sort, but he can't leave my area soon enough for me.  I am just not a winter type person.  I need sunshine and warmth.  Thank goodness that Spring is only 78 days away.

And even better, vacation is only 58 days away.  Woo Hoo!!   Pogo and I have already figured out what we want to pack to take with us.  Aside from clothing, we'll pack one of his soft quilty houses, and we'll take his stroller.  Unfortunately, we'll have to leave his sofa here at home.  It's just too big to take with us.  (and it doesn't fold up!)   Oh well, he'll get over it.

I am so looking forward to visiting the area flea markets (in our area of Florida), and sitting out on my screened in porch all day long.  I would like to have a porch like this on my house, but I would only get to use it a few months a year. 

Today, I want to post the cover and first page of my new calendar.  For some reason, I ended up with extra calendars this year, so if you got one last year, but not this year, please let me know and I'll send one to you.  I apologize for my forgetfulness.

I have a photo of the new afghan that I started a few nights ago.  This one is gray, and I really like it.  Why do I have more than one afghan going at the same time?  Because sometimes I get bored, and I can put down the one I'm working on and work on a different one for a while.   Well anyway, here's the photo of my pretty gray afghan.  I'm thinking that I might like to keep this one for myself.   We'll see.

 

 

A couple of months ago, I found an interesting image on the web, and I've been saving it to share with you now.   I've never really heard of doing this before, but I think it's quite an interesting idea.  I'm thinking that I might make myself a jar later today and give this a try.

 

 

I've been saving a plastic (jar) container for no special reason, but I knew it would come in handy one day.  Today I will put a 2015 label on it and see what happens throughout the year. 

 

That's about all my news for today.  In the winter, I'm a rather dull person.  Sit and crochet, sit and watch TV, play with the dog, visit with the dwarfs out in the main house, food shop once a week, pop in an occasional load of laundry, wash the dishes, and occasionally give the vacuum cleaner an obligatory run around the room. 

 

I will have to work on making my days a bit more interesting.  Yesterday, I did not give my new bodyblade a workout, so today I think I may exercise a bit with it.  I'm not sure how long it takes to get rid of the turkey gobbles on the arms, but obviously two times did not do the trick. 

 

Oh well, now it's time to get dressed and find some new mischief to get into today.  So, till Sunday,  Y'all have a fantabulous weekend.

 

Hugs, Edna B.
