My soon-to-be Grandson, who has now been named!
Let the quilting and appliqué begin!
Nicole reporting that the baby is all thumps and bumps and squirms now. James currently waiting for a load in Miami and then on the road again.
"It is green and warm and beautiful...there are flowers blooming, Mom!"
Repeating Gail's words like a mantra this morning...only 67 more days until Spring.
Relieved as temperatures have finally crept back up to the normal range and the rain is beginning to melt the "Snow Alps" in our parking lot and on the roads. It was a long long long week.
Undecorated from the holidays and looking a bit bare here...soon to begin the before-Spring cleaning. And force some bulbs for early colour. Because Spring is far to wonderful a Season to spend cleaning, that's why! Yes...the general windows and airing out will have to wait...but so much can be done now. And the annual declutter...because...where the hell does it all come from.
Cyber and all.
And for everyone who has ever wondered just where and when our flying cars were going to arrive...
The answer is NOW and The Terrafugia :) The aero-car. (...hearing the Jetson's music in my head...)
We are living in amazing times!
So have to admit the Fast Diet didn't quite make it through the last week's forced hibernation- and subsequent Carb Fest. Homemade Bread...Chili...Warm Fruit Cobblers. Instead of losing the usual 2 pounds I have actually gained 1.5 back. Not to worry, though. Just starting back in today where I left off. That is the beauty of the 5:2.
Adjustments are easy to make.
Thursday, when we did brave the elements for supplies...I was delighted to see my copy of Sue Monk Kidds new book The Invention of Wings...and proceeded to devour it in two days.
Spanning the period from 1803-1838 this historical fiction novel follows the lives of Hetty, a young slave, and Sarah (her very reluctant owner) and both of their struggles to be
"Free from the Abominations of Slavery"
Well researched and written. An exceptional story.
Highly recommended.
Wishing everyone love and light and an exceptional weekend!
