We know how to have a good time

We know how to have a good time….

It has been snowing and blowing for days, and I have not been outside or out of my jammies in … oh… a week?  10 days??  Lost count, doesnt matter much.

I do like to look out though….

Steve has been doing lots of learning….

on his new steel guitar.  He gets better every day I think.  He just started learning how to play it this week.

See that left index finger?  That permanent position is the result of having it crushed by a backhoe bucket.  That is why he cant play regular guitar anymore.  So he is trying to learn to play steel.

And I finally got a quilt of my own on the machine.  This one is for a certain 4 year old little girl…. if her Mom thinks she will like it.  I was in charge of running a mystery quilt for our Tuesday quilt group, and this is what we made.  I bet it won’t take 10 days before a certain 4 year old plucks off those flowers!  I still need to do the handwork on the binding.

This is the back.

Some of you have emailed me to find out if I was ok.  And a few have called too.  Yes, we are fine.  All 3 of us.  THREE.

Steve’s son moved in with us right after Steve’s Dad died in September.  Josh needed a soft place to land….. and this is it.  Since he moved in, he has gotten a new job.  He has no car though, so Steve drives him in my car back and forth to work.  It is lots of miles (25 one way, so 100 miles a day) and lots of time, but we think Josh is worth the investment.  He is working on being able to be self sufficient again.  Soon, we hope!

So, life gets in the way sometimes, right?  And that is what has happened.  We continue to quilt, raise cattle, and sew…. but Steve spend lots more time in my car and I spend lots more time cooking and doing laundry.

Anyway, thanks for asking… and thanks for caring.
