over the freeze
    now above freezing, the grass is showing, we escaped the worst. Just miles away they had ice an inch thick and no hydro for a week. We've had snow but far less than most. My sister was hit with snow a week ago that left drifts that we had an inch.  The storms left the snow and ice from Texas and stretched even to United Kingdom.
       Christmas and New Years were both kind to us.

A piece of my sisters
tree decorated the veranda.

Some nice gifts useful,
entertaining and gags.

Good coffee maker, enjoy
 a good cup?

We cannot forget our
pets.

With staying in, snow and the cold my quilt is nearing completion.
 With the backing being added now and needed border.

Mother hardly complains, she lost another
friend this week, very few are left.

We stay home a lot as wheelchairs don't
travel well in snow. She listens to the
television and radio. She still enjoys her food though I am not a good cook. Time on the computer when I should be
chopping the meals.

A daily rest helps regenerate and helps
with the pain in my hands, now to my coffee.

I have already shopped for more material and planning on more quilts, just simple to start, will share later....stay warm....
