Well, tonight ends a wonderfully long Christmas vacation. It has been great. I feel relaxed and refreshed.
Today I finished the top of the quilt throw I have been working on. Well, almost finished it. I have to cut out the borders and put those on yet, but have to go to town to buy some fabric for one of the borders. It was so fun and so challenging. Roxie, I have been looking and looking at the quilt you made me and trying to figure out how you did different things. You are so talented and it is so much work! All of you who have her quilts better appreciate all her work. I can't believe she has made as many as she has. The quilt you made me is huge and very complicated. Mine was fairly easy, yet challenging enough for a first. I have no idea how to quilt it and finish it off. I will be getting some advice on that. You and I are going to have to quilt together some day. I am probably too slow for you though. Well, we could each work on our own.
So now I have two new hobbies: quilting and jewelry making. I made some sets of jewelry over vacation too. Actually, I got a lot of different things done.
Kinley called today. Her dad and Kristin took her to the movie Marly and Me last night. She said eveyone cried but her. Even her dad. I have the book to read. Have any of you seen it? She was happy and on her way to Chucky Cheese to play games. Her dad told me they weren't going to eat pizza there because it tastes like cardboard.
Father had Mass tonight and following Mass he had an Epiphany party for the whole parish and the Halliday parish as well. He cooked an Italian spaghetti supper, served it with salad and desert. It was a sit down meal. He had the KC's serve and clean up. He did all the cooking and even did the grocery shopping for it all. He said he had a wedding in Bismarck on Friday so between the ceremony and the reception he got the groceries from three different places. He is pretty awesome.
Nothing else for news. Everyone have a good week and stay warm. It is still very, very cold here.
