Greetings, All.
Our weather has stabilized. No new snow. Temps reaching 20s. Sunshine. Perhaps there will be no new snow record for this month.
I started a new sewing project. I am going to try and make a flannel shirt for home wear. My brain wants one that crosses at the front neck and has an asymmetrical bottom front edge. To do this, I am combining patterns. I cut it out yesterday, and will start putting it together today.
I am proud of myself that I actually put the patterns back in their packages right away! No stray pieces yesterday. I do have a place where I put stray pieces that I find. Hopefully I will find their homes. I should go through the pattern drawer, too. There are size sixes that I have had for 50 years. Not my size anymore. Sigh. I’ll keep the little kids patterns, though. They are always useable.
I removed several cook books so I can add my new ones. Books I have not opened in years. A couple belong to Hubby, so i will check with him on those.
When we were at the birthday party last Sunday, my grandson decided that he did not have the time, or mental stamina to do his homework/projects, and finish his merit badges for the Eagle requirements. We are disappointed, of course. But, it is ultimately his decision. I have no idea what he has left to do. But, he has less that two weeks until he turns 18 and ages out of the program. His father kept telling him, last year, it is ok if you don’t, you have already gotten a lot out of the program. !?!?!? Not a way to encourage or help your son. One way he fell behind was to be a camp counselor each summer. There is no time to work on badges, etc., while there since they work 18+ hours a day/six days a week. Oh, well. He is an outstanding young man, of high values, a helpful and good character. There is much to be proud of, including his decision. He did get a college acceptance letter yesterday. Nice.
OK. I must write up the minutes for the Ham Club Meeting. Then off to sew. Later, guys. (And stop falling!!)
