We did a bad thing after , we went to Cinnabon for coffee and a small cinnamon bun. Bad but good LOL.
A slow day today, nothing to show for it except a long nap and finishing my book. Believe it or not it was a novel by Sharon Osborne, yes of Ozzie Osborne fame. His wife as it were. She wrote a novel about two sisters , sibling rivalry at its best-two sisters competing to be the biggest film star in Hollywood. Both of them come under the spell of a Hollywood mogul, a nasty piece of work .
The story has a lot of twists and turns and keeps you , or at least me, reading on. It was a surprise to me how much I liked it , I guess I was too busy sterotyping Mrs. Osborne . The only thing I did not like about the book was the cover material which was hard and covered with shiny bits. It was not pleasant to hold. If you have a Kindle maybe you could bring it up on your magic machine. Adam has one and he loves it, so does my friend Jean. I am thinking of getting one myself.
I had a pleasant transaction today with a member of one of my groups, an embroidery list. Upstairs I had a programme that had files from A to Z where I could place my embroidery designs, but I had forgotten where I got it and as you know I am not going upstairs at the moment. I asked on my embroidery list if anyone knew where I could find this system. Two ladies responded with the same information and I was able to download the system to my laptop. Good news! I think some of the embroidery items I have on my desktop are actually embroidery designs and not just photos but I'll find that out later. In the meantime I am happy that I found the system. If anyone on this blog is an embroiderer you can find the system at Kenny's Kreations and there is a good file organizing system there.
There are some good examples of decorated Hydro boxes on some of our routes, mostly in Burnaby . This is one I really like. Periodically I'll put others up as I really enoy them.
I have received many beautiful cards from my many quilting friends, family and freinds from other parts of my life. It has been such a joy to see them come in the mail and I thank you all for your thoughtfulness. This one came from my quilt guild , it is all embossed with quilting designs. I just love it and thought to share it with you.
Bon nuit.

Hi Nan, Sharon Osborne is a lovely lady, its that weird husband of hers. She was a good mother hen to her children. I keep telling you how great my NOOK is. I don't have the Kindle. I love my Nook. No running to the library. Download a book any time of the day or night and they are not expensive.
The software you download for the embroidery sounds nice. Will have to check it out. Also, what a cheerful sight to see on a cold dreary day. Please post more of the Hydro boxes. Are they just for the Winter time? Have a great day. Love, JEan
