Update: The video session was cancelled. Jordan, the film maker, and the actor were fine to arrive and just get stuck at the vocalist's house over night. But the film maker, halfway to the location, decided it wasn't fair to his crew.

Shirley - We're looking at 1 to 3 inches of snow where I am. I know that doesn't sound like a big deal. But here in the Atlanta area it gets slushy, then turns to ice and then we get snow. We don't have as much equipment as areas that get this kind of weather more ofter. The cities are continuing to add more equipment and it sounds like they are being more pro-active this year. But, that said, we usually end up with a lot of black ice on the streets.

So my husband and sons have been to the store for whatever supplies they wanted. I have plenty of food cooked and we're looking forward to a nice quiet day or two. At least it's the weekend and it looks like most city/county and other businesses are sending folks home early.
Wishing everyone a snuggly weekend by the fire, (except those folks smart enough to be in Florida! You guys can just have a nice weekend!)

Best wishes to all. I have been die cutting, heat embossing and using embossing folders all day. Thirty four flights of stairs so far. I may go to the library tomorrow.

Hugs.

Lin

Congratulations Sandy!!!

Buzz, so relieved to hear your family is safe. I was thinking of you and your family as that news scrolled over the TV screen yesterday. Then I thought they could not possibly be there. Hugs.

Cold day once again. Rethinking my plans for today.

Hugs.

Lin

I have been at the library since mid-morning! Good thing that I kicked myself to get out.

It's extremely mild for a January day but with the moors covered in mist first thing our walk was through the usual woodland before climbing a couple of stiles and strolling across open fields in our own little patch of sunshine. The dogs loved having new places to sniff and George impressed with his ability to clamber up walls and stiles!! My plan is to do a little tidying in the garden while it remains dry.

Sandy ~ Congratulations! It looks in the 1st photo that Max is as excited to meet Robby, or is that wind??

Buzz Thank goodness your family is safe after yet another mad gun incident. I gather a British grandmother was killed and have to wonder what goes through these peoples' heads when they decide on such actions. Yesterday afternoon I watched a Glen Ford western called Cimarron when it crossed my mind things haven't changed much!

No more heavy boots in the roof space over my kitchen but a tray of poison pellets placed up there anyway! Enjoy your snow, those of you getting a layering. I've had an hour phone conversation catching up with a friend between starting this post and getting here so must move on.
Happy Sunday everyone.
Jackie

Turns out that one of the ladies killed at the Ft Lauderdale airport was actually a great grand mother that lived in Marietta, Ga. She attended a church that is very close to our home. I didn't know her, but sounds like she was well loved here.

On a more positive note (sorta), I haven't accomplished much that was on my list to do this past week. Too many unexpected things plus the snow. (A big deal here!) But I've enjoyed some good time with the hubby and sons. So, today, I hope to catch up on a lot of what I was suppose to be doing for the past 3 days. (Laundry, cooking, office work,...) Fun times!

Some of the cards I finished yesterday. A few were partially completed but now are finished and ready to send.



All of the striped cards have a hand colored insert.

Happy to have accomplished something.

Lin

Great photos Jackie!!! Yippee--sunshine.

I made a card for my friend's mother who loves cardinals and shiny things. I put a prayer on the inside of the card. I did the cover with watercolor pens on the stamps rather than ink.



Looks like the lovely gold border wants to fall off. Oh well, I tried.

I will be watching Sherlock tonight.

Sandy - I saw your pictures on Facebook and the three of you are just adorable. We skyped with Isaac tonight and he is all over the place, too busy now to talk to grandma and grandpa but we did have a few laughs at his trying to talk to us and us not knowing what he is saying. Kathy bought a potty for training so he has been playing around with it and sitting on it just for fun.

Lin - Very pretty cards, especially the one with the cardinal on it. You are getting very creative. That is something I should be doing, getting those creative juices flowing.

Buzz- I didn't realize your family were headed for Ft Lauderdale airport, you must have been scared when you saw the news report. So happy to hear they are okay and home safe.

Jackie - Is that a picture of George and Scruff? If so, that name Scruff sure does fit him. LOL
I see no snow on the ground and sunshine. Jealous!

Marcella - Plans are always changing in our family too, from minute to minute now.

Marie - Did you get your beans done? How was your doctor apt?

I went yesterday shopping with my DH, mistake, he tries to help me while I look through the racks. Urgh!
He finally went to sit in the car. I was looking for bathing suits, not my favorite thing to buy and ended up finding nothing,. I will take another trip to another mall, myself, and try again. After that and all the walking my knee was not happy, so I was happy to get home and sit for awhile.

Today I did some cleaning and my MIL was supposed to come for dinner, but she has a cold and was not up to it. The battery in her car died yesterday so we picked it up today to have our mechanic take a look at it and it is still under warranty. Dave said she has been losing weight lately, not a good sign for a woman who is in her 91st year. She goes to the oncologist on Thursday for her checkup, I hope this isn't a sign of a downward spiral in her health.

Have a good evening friends,

Shirley
