Let it snow!



  • Yesterday it snowed all afternoon. We had a fire in the wood burning stove and our small family (3) had an early dinner. TheKid had to work last night so he was gone by 2:00pm so the rest of the afternoon it was just CarGuy and me. A pretty quiet Christmas. I spent the majority of the afternoon knitting a Jibber for Finn.
  • I'm feeling a bit better. It's just a slow improvement every day.
  • An off hand remark I made about inventorying Auntie's books and knick-knacks by hand, netted me a new laptop for Christmas! Now I need to set up a database for the inventory. I love my new laptop (except for Vista). I used a neighbor's WiFi yesterday to download AVG Free Virus protection.
  • Funny thing: every one in the family but me received slippers. And I need them too!
  • We have more cold and snow predicted for tomorrow. Brrr.
  • And to make this post quilt related, I got the Winter 4 Seasons Quilt top finished and basted! Woo Hoo! It's ready to quilt. I'm on a roll.

  2. What a great imaginative sign! LOL

    I also have AVGFree and really like it a LOT. No more Norton for me!

  3. I forgot to mention, we actually received snow - a bunch 5-6 inches. Seems it usually looses it's punch before it gets here, but not this time. It was a lovely surprise Christmas morning.

  4. Ha!! Love that sign!! I am glad you are feeling a bit better, just takes 10-14 days no matter what sometimes...

    I am so glad you are knitting for Finn!! I think she will so enjoy that.

  6. Cute Cute Cute Sign! We did not have a white Christmas :(

    I too got a new laptop for Christmas. I haven't had any issues with Vista yet, but we can certainly commiserate if you need someone to vent at re: Vista LOL.

    I am just having issues getting EQ6 loaded. EQ5 was no problem at all, but the upgrade is not liking me LOL.

    Enjoy your new laptop :)

  7. Your snowman sign is hilarious! We had a snowfree Christmas. Our weatherman was very disappointed, since so much of the country did receive snow.

  9. Ah, snow. It's hard for me to imagine what that must be like.

    Hope you continue to improve. Happy 2008!

  10. I didn't mean to imply that I had never seen snow, cause I have. I just can't imagine my garden all covered in it when I look out the window or walk out the door. My garden would have to be so different to with stand snow dumping on it. Our climate is very different.
    Cheers !
