Flying Pinwheel is a nice little block and not too hard. The center is just a pinwheel and triangles all round.

Here we have a sweetheart of a snowman helping out to share a white Christmas.

Rick has gone up to the Sushi restaurant and to pick up a pair of shoes for Rose , part of her Christmas present from us.

He said I could not get into his truck as it was too high and Ray was out in the snow buying bread and a few things for Christmas dinner, carrots, celery, turnip and tomatoes. It's a start.

Oh yes we had a snow storm over night and everything is covered. Look!

Snowy morning taken by Chelsea. I love this one it has an interesting focal point.

Richard's wheelchair in silhouetted in front of a snowy window.

We woke up to a winter wonderland this morning.

After reading the paper and having breakfast Ray went out for bread. And a few other items, turnip, celery, two things.

So I have done nothing so far today. I need to get out my embroidery machine and get to work. Actually I can't get it out , Ray is having a nap and Rick is out . He could not do it anyway. It is so awful. I remember when he could lift anything.And do anything. ALS is dreadful. How bad it must be for him.

I didn't get to sewing after all.

The doctor told Ray he was not to pick up anything heavy for a few days and my machine is heavy so it will have to wait.

Why am I watching Animal House. I need to turn it off .

And I did.

I am so late tonight since I have spent a long time looking over photographs. It is such a big job and takes time to get them up.

Here it is after 8:00 and I am still writing. I can't seem to focus tonight.
