Mom and Dad celebrated 65 years of marriage yesterday. I find that phenomenal. We took a lunch with dessert to them and also delivered a lovely bouquet from all of us. They look pretty good for hitting the 89 year mark.
We didn't stay late in the afternoon since a snow/sleet/rain storm was heading up the coast.
It came and made an icy slippery mess and school was canceled so Miss C spent the day with us. Then I made a Baked Ziti for supper. I have been wanting to make one since Mrs. Soprano was serving it to the parish priest during the first year episodes. It was tasty but Graham and Hugh thought it should have more sausage. There weren't any leftovers, so that is a good thing.
I started machine quilting my 1997 Round Robin and I am being careful with it. Any stitches I am not happy with I am doing the frog stitch. I am using a metallic thread by Superior, it is lovely to work with and the stitches and nice and even and I am happy with the results...so far!
Margaret, our great tour guide in NZ fell last week and broke a hip and her elbow. She is definitely tied up for a while. I was wishing I was closer so I could take care of her. She hopes to be home from hospital by next mid week, with wheelchair and eventually walker. She is very busy and independent so this is going to be hard for her.
We have had so many cold days -15C and today it started out at 5C and now it is down to -1C and going to -10C tonight. But the days are longer and the sun seems brighter. Spring is only 2 months away.
Ever the optomist, so I hope I'll blog again before another month is over.
