One place to go for fun stuff. No photos because I can't locate them. Actually the second one is a video by Eleanor Burns if you are a fan. I like EB so I am a fan. LOL. I saw her sister once on TV and she and EB were like the same person. I think they are twins. Very amusing!

Did I show this before? If so here it is again LOL. It may come in handy for picking up those hot dishes. Be sure and use the right batting. Once I made some potato bags using regular batting and they caught fire. Bad!


This is a cover for a cushion.


Today was a fine time for us. We invited Bob and Buzz for tea.
It was a lovely time. We had tea, cookies and chocolates. All were tasty . We had fine conversation as we always do. We have been friends since 1975 . I think it is so great to have long time friends.
Thanks Buzz and Bob for visiting! :)

I am very happy they invited us for Boxing Day. That should be fun too. As usual  I forgot to take pictures but you have seen them before.

Block of the Day, house and tree as if you couldn't figure this one out.

We had snow this morning. I was surprised to see it. I guess this cold weather is a factor in snow. Because of it we did not go out at all today. We have no snow tires . However I have to go to the new cardiologist tomorrow so we'll need to go out. I hoe the roads are clear. They never clear our street, not important enough and they , the city officials, think the rain will come and clear it. However I am of the opinion that there will be no rain tonight. It is too cold.
However I could be wrong, cheerfully so I'll admit. 

I have been drinking milk the past couple of days. I have not had any milk for years and years. I wonder what has happened to me. But I do enjoy drinking milk as of now. Maybe it won't last.

The news right now is saying the hunt for grizzly bears is on. The trophy hunt is all set to go. The concern is that the grizzlies may be in decline and we do not want to lose them. I have no idea why people want to hunt anyway even though some members of my own family like to do so. Not that I would want to meet up with one. No problem here of course as they do not come into the city haha.

I did no sewing today of course but hope to tomorrow. That would be lovely. I have more towels to do and then want to make some blocks for a quilt. That would be so much fun. I know it is my Tuesday group tomorrow , however  the cardiologist takes priority LOL. He wants to talk about my heart attack I guess. 



Who could resist this precious little face?
Certainly not me. She is just adorable. I think it is a she. Doesn't matter still cute.

The family out for the afternoon stroll. Isn't it cute.

This picture makes me laugh. Watch the dog grow!

Hahaha Christmas gift. OMG!
Love this cat, his face is wonderful.

OMG no joy here. I guess The kids don't want to hold those stupid letters LOL.

Green Bay Packers quilt a lady made for her son. Pretty neat isn't it.

Another adorable little face. Take your pick.

Now here's a lovely old teapot.

That's the gallery for tonight.

Have a lovely evening.
Good  night.
