forgot to post

 Somehow I sliced the top of my right thumb from the nail down about 1/3 of an inch. Aggravating and uncomfortable so no bear making for awhile...Luckily I have a few new books on my Kindle!

Bob is quietly reading a book he picked up from the library yesterday.

Today is the anniversary of our son's death... didn't sleep well last night ...

Since I can't push pins or sew I have been decluttering a bit ( and reading)...Spent time organizing my mohair closet and getting rid of lots of wire hangers.  

Both the kitchen floor and the entry way/lobby needed cleaning... so Bob and I went at it. He even got down on the floor to clean under the stove. Things look much better... especially the lobby which gets all the dirty/ salty water from our snow shoes or boots! 

 

Off to Hallmark's card store

Leaving Bob behind..(I wanted an anniversary card  and a Valentine card.   Thursday is our 60th wedding anniversary!) I am heading to our Hallmark card store. It won't have the same cards as Price Chopper!

When I got home I managed to sneak the card bag into a hiding place. Then back to work on a bear.

Bob headed out to the library.. to return things he says... but it wouldn't surprise me if he was doing what I had done!! 

Both of us kept busy the rest of the day 

Alexa says 64F high today

 Yes, Alexa said 64 F today... but the computer says 57F high. I'll take Alexa's !! If she is right... that means a walk in Blue Springs' Rotary Park!

We didn't make it to Rotary Park but tomorrow is supposed to be even warmer so maybe??

I managed to cut out three more bears... my mohair stash is getting smaller.. I've even started working on two of them.

This morning I took out a frozen container of " who knows what". It looked like cooked hamburger with some onions and garlic.but when it came time to turn it into something for dinner I found it was cooked Italian sausage. The end result was fine ( especially with a green salad) and the freezer has one less leftover something in it!

Also a little more decluttering... 

 

 

Not as warm today

 Here it is... 39 F at lunch time. Miss yesterday's 55 F !!

Trying a new recipe... creamy parsnip soup. I don't  have quite enough parsnips so I am going to shred two carrots and add them!!....It was good if a little bland. Next time more parsnips.

More bear work plus some decluttering.

My poor b-i-l who lives in Rochester, NY is having to cope with wind chill temps of -20 F. Bob says Rochester is headed for warmer temps!

 

WARMER !!!!

 At 10.40 am Friday the temp is already at 47 F.... Alexa says it will get higher!!...... and it did! Way over 50 F.

I finished my new smaller bear ... but haven't decided whether or not to accessorize him/her.. Later in the day I cut out 4 more bears.. Guess I am back to minimizing my fabric stash!

Dinner... crab cakes, baked potatoes with sour cream and/or butter and a lovely green salad! 

What a day.

 We went off this morning to CVS/Target to drop off my prescription... and decided to wait for it to be filled and to walk around Target to get some steps in!! Successful... plus found some Irish breakfast tea!!

I saw an add from UMB (bank) on FB for their Money market accounts... more interest than other banks.. so we went to the branch on 7 Hwy to open an account and deposit some of the  RMDs we had received. The bank was empty so we plus the bank person spent quite a bit if time just talking...

but when we got home I tried over and over to get into my Chase credit card account so I could check my statement.... disaster time.. the phone number on the account was our landline which does not receive texts for the Chase security code... hopefully after two help phone calls things have been changed ...was I frustrated ( and so was Bob)!  Maybe a glass of wine at dinner??

Some time was spent on my newest bear project...needs ears and to have arms, legs and head attached to the body. Once stuffed and he will be done! 

 

Tired of cooking....

Actually I don't really mind cooking especially when it has been so cold... that encourages me to try some new things. But today I actually am a little tired of cooking!

We are going to Olive Garden... soup or salad and bread sticks beckon . And there's always enough for a second go tomorrow!!

Went to my cardiologist this morning.... he forgot to sign a paper prescription and the pharmacy would not fill it.! It is signed now and I will drop it off tomorrow...btw he apologized  and I had a nice chat with his nurse practitioner!
