Monday Mish Mash

 

Hello my friends.

Since Winter is in full swing

now here in Michigan,

today I decided to show

some previous pics of Winter.

Our keeping room electric heater

keeps us warm at night.

I don't remember when I hooked 

this snow fella.

His nose is aged orange fabric

just fold up and stitched down a bit.

His scarf is also some fabric that

I wrapped around from back to front,

then tied a lil bow.

Added three rusty bells.

One year I made paper Winter ornaments.

I love keeping out candles and greens

out for my Winter displays.

Warm mittens my aunt knitted for me.

I could wear these, but I choose

to use them in my displays each year.

In other news,

Bob and I decided to go to the grocery store

the night before the cold temps hit.

Our cashier was checking us out.

She made a comment

"I don't think I can do this anymore."

Then she fell to the floor and hit someone

else's cart in the head.

She had passed out.

It was horrible. 

They called for an ambulance right away.

We waited for another cashier to come

finish checking us out.

Was told that she was diabetic and pregnant.

By the time we were leaving the parking lot,

the ambulance was coming in.

I sure hope she is alright. 

Saturday morning our actual temp was -18.

It was even so cold that our snow dog

Tundra even whimpered when he went outside.

These past few day have been putting him

on leash to just do his business and then

get him inside.

It is too brutal out there for man and beast.

Also on Saturday us kids went to mom's house.

We took everything she will need for her studio.

She came with us and we let her pick out

 small end and side tables, lamps and such.

Once we were finished, we all went to lunch

 at her fav restaurant in town.

Today I have the day off, so I will purchase things

she still needs.

Her newly purchased furniture and tv

arrives on Wednesday.

My sister and brother are 

going there to set her room all up.

My sister leaves for North Carolina Friday,

so Thursday night mom will stay with us.

I will work from home Friday and afterwards,

my brother and I will take her to dinner...

then take her to her new studio where

she will stay from now on.

Yesterday it snowed from the time I woke up,

until I went to bed.

Bob did not open the store.

Instead he stayed home with me.

He put a fire in our fireplace...

we watched a few old monster movies...

then we watched the football games.

I sure hope everyone is safe with all of the 

bad weather across the country.

Monday Mish Mash Blessings To All!
