Good morning ladies. It is pretty chilly here this morning and this is what happened to us yesterday (see pic) That is the deicer I asked Jack to bring out from the garage so that if the rain turned icy we could put it on the deck. Yeah right! This started around 3 yesterday afternoon. I think our area got about 6 inches. When we watched the 10 o'clock news last night they had had 70 crashes! Good ole Memphis, you can always count on them to not slow down in bad weather.
Hopefully I can get out to the commissary today. It will depend on whether they have gotten the streets cleaned, especially the back ones, which we have to use to get to the base. They don't even start to plow until the snow stops and it was still going at 11 PM last night. It has stopped now and that is the end of it for us thank goodness. It is supposed to warm up to around 38 today and into the upper 40's by tomorrow with no precipitation so we had our little joke and we now want to go back to normal!
Jean: Yes, rules have changed a lot with hospitals. You can bring anyone up to the rooms now and Thomas and Jackson were both in my room well past 9 pm. We even had a squalling newborn next door. Have a nice time at Jason's today. Hopefully Bob and Jason can get a handle on the house project.
I have the sweater back and front done, the shoulders sewn together and the neckline done. I ran out of yarn and have to wait for it to come to make the sleeves and put them in than I am done with the lace sweater. I had to do single crochet around the neckline, which I have never done, but found a video website of how to do it so watched it a couple times and crocheted it on. I decided I liked it better and it is sturdier with two rows so I put two single crochet rows in. I think while I am waiting for the yarn to come in I will practice making socks. I can then order some sock yarn and the proper needle size once I have the techniques down.
I am going to grab a blanket and get in the recliner for an hour or so. Have a wonderful Saturday!
