I am tired of winter. I think that when spring arrives all will be good!

This is a really cool and clever video. You will want to watch it a few times.

It starting snowing yesterday and this is what the morning looked like. With a little shoveling it was off to work.

Some time ago I was watching an old movie from the late 1950s, “Desk Set” and in one scene there was mention of a dessert called “Floating Island” and I had no idea what it was but it stuck with me.

Well last weekend I decided it was time to have it …

You will find all the details of the dessert adventure on Lynn’s blog.

Lynn and I recently procured a Wii.  It was luck really.  We went back and forth about betting one for about a year or so and decided that we really did not need one.  After all they were and still are somewhat challenging to get.

Just by luck we were at Target in Washington, MO and we were just wondering around the store not even thinking about getting a Wii and then there one was, only one, in the case just wanting to come home with us.

We really like the Lego style games. I found a gift card to Gamestop and used it to get Lego Star Wars and we have had the best time playing.  I would say it is a must for all!!!

So I know that I have been really behind on keeping up with the blog.  Stuff happens.

Welcome to winter.  I can hardly believe that it is here and that the holiday season is right around the corner.  Here is a nice picture snap from my camera phone when it snowed on Dec 1st.

Stay warm

Here is a nice article about my sister. Pretty cool!!!

Cherie Moore makes the most of her MetroLink commute.

“I applique to and from work,” said the Belleville quilter who has a 45-minute ride each way to Washington University School of Medicine where she’s a business manager in the genetics department. “It’s amazingly good light. It comes down directly from above. A few of the older trains have a little shimmy, but most are amazingly smooth.”

She carries her supplies in a small, colorful handwoven bag, a gift her daughter brought from Argentina. The bag may be tiny but is big enough for a square of fabric, applique pieces (“I baste mine down and needleturn to applique.”), a thimble, needles, thread and scissors. As she sews, she listens to books or National Public Radio broadcasts, compliments of her Ipod.
