True, but it took my sis's card 2 weeks from wisconsin. they had a story on the news about how bad mail is here - we were the worst in the u.s.
I had hoped it would reach you before Christmas but alas, it was not to be. I'm praying you get it Monday!
Double thank you! :D

I get to see in the new year at w**k.
I had to work one New Year's eve. I also had to work Christmas Eve that same year. Almost had to work Christmas night but I conveniently got really sick at work on Christmas morning and told my manager she was outta luck. Had a fever of like 104 all day and was totally miserable. That was the only year I'd ever missed Christmas Eve at my Nana's. *sigh*

Cord is wound counterclockwise and twine is wound clockwise. My granpaw always said it was a sorry day when you didn't learn something. I think you're covered. I worked a public health screening yeswterday morning, subbed at a dr's office Monday. Hate working at dr's offices, all you do is talk on the phone. Made an agreement with a church bookstore to sell my rosaries on consignment. That's about it.

I don't know what happened to all the crochet. All I can find are a few thread snowflakes. The recipes were in her head. I never saw her refer to any kind of printed recipe.

Do you leave the faucets on a touch? plumbers here are working 20 hour days due to frozen pipes and people forgetting to do that.
NurseBettyLu
01-16-2009, 05:28 PM
Yup, but it doesn't always work. My pipes are very old and they sag. And my house is on a pillar foundation rather than a slab, so the pipes are exposed. I wrapped towels around the vulnerable spots, and put a heavy blanket over one place where there's a gap in the flashing. Hung a trouble light under the farm sink at the back of the house and threw a tarp over it. That move has made me a hero with the strays I feed. :D
