Blog Buddies are the BEST!

Welcome friends.  Thank you so much for stopping by on this nasty February night.  We woke up to about 5-6 inches of snow ~ not too bad ~ and for the most part of the day we were without precipitation.  That changed a couple of hours ago and we are getting freezing rain and it's just supposed to get worse.  Even if the city shuts down, I don't have the luxury of staying home because I work for the Street Department and we spent the day fielding many complaints concerning snow removal.  I have a feeling tomorrow will be worse :( 

I got the most wonderful surprise in the mail yesterday from Cathy over at Acorn Hollow.  She recently became a first time Grandma and I sent a little gift for her new granddaughter.  She sent me the most beautiful card, a yard of wool and this Sampler and Tapestry Embroideries book.  It is a republication of a book originally published in 1913.  How cool is that?  Thank you for your thoughtfulness, Cathy!  Like I said, blog buddies are THE BEST :)

In just a few days I have gotten so far behind in my blog reading and wonder when I can get caught.  I miss reading what is going on with all my friends.  I'm guessing I am having some computer issues this evening because of the weather, so I won't be doing much catching up tonight.  Maybe tomorrow???

I can't believe it's February already!  Today would have been my Mom's 91st birthday.  I have a funny little Mom story.  My Mom was always a feisty one and the older she got, the fesitier she got.  Until the week before she died she could still communicate a bit.  One evening when I was leaving I told her I loved her and I'd stop by the next day.  She told me "bullshit"!  That is the last thing I remember my Mom saying, and if you knew that great lady, it was a perfect ending.  Love you, Mom.  Happy birthday!

Pug hugs :)
