It's been a year since Iowa shut down due to Covid-19. DH and I have gotten part 1 of THE VACCINATION and part 2 is scheduled.
So many things have changed.
I haven't hugged my children or 4 of my grandchildren since Christmas 2019.
Church services were online only, then in the parking lot with social distancing. We actually had a couple of services in the sanctuary, but then the numbers bonkers again and we were back to online only. Currently, people are getting the vaccination, the weather is improving and so are the numbers. So, we have a choice; online or in the church with social distancing and masks. 1 day and step at a time.........
More than 1 trip has been cancelled or postponed, however 2 new ones have been scheduled.
There was a US Presidential Election and just like every election, not everyone is happy. All I want to say about that is this: Please remember, this too shall pass. Presidents aren't forever, but your family, your friends, the people you go to church with, your neighbors, they all might be, so take a breath. Please.
I made my first "real" quilt and gifted it to a granddaughter. I call it the Sunshine Quilt. It is based on that old song, "You are my Sunshine." I had to use a lot of black because, for some reason, she currently doesn't seem to like bright colors. So, I backed it with a black fabric with white script lettering of positive affirmations. She seems to like it. I hope so.
I've started the next one. It will be a gift for my daughter and SIL. I'll have to try and post pictures of that one later on. It is driving me a bit crazy and cross eyed. It's suppose to be an optical illusion of sorts. I'm calling it Shades of Gray. You'll understand when you see it. Oh what the heck, here's a tease
Coldest week of this winter, we had a water line break. Thankfully, it was downstairs, so no carpet or floor damage. However, there's plenty of drywall to be replaced. Water stains to be sealed and painted. There was also the furnace that water was running into and shorting out circuit boards. The water line and the furnace we fixed right away. The rest, we're still waiting for a contractor. We've tried to sweeten the deal by adding on some bigger projects, but they all seem so busy and not very interested in our little job.
Oh well, I need a better attitude! Let's see if I can't improve on this mood. Spring is just around the corner. Should be able to get outside more. Here's hoping! 🙏
