Good Morning, Flowers! I am upstairs to get dressed and ready for the day. I need to start on laundry since I didn't do any over the weekend. I'll pull out a chair and stay down in the basement for a couple hours rather than go up and down the stairs. My knee is better than it was on Saturday, but I can still tell there is a twinge if I happen to bend it the wrong way. I have kitchen counters that need to be cleaned off and then make a grocery list. With me home at noon the lunch food seems to disappear faster for some reason.
Susan -- I noticed that you and I posted about the same time yesterday. I never got back here last night so will greet you today. Congrats on passing up the DQ! We did stop enroute home from the lake yesterday. Bob had a $5 coupon that his mom got when she opened her checking account here in town. The main office is in the town on the way to/from the lake. The guy looked at the coupon and refused to take it saying is was a Storm Lake "thing!" Our McD's hires at minimum wage and no benefits according to the kids at school. They are the main employees at McD which is in WM here. It is always dirty in the eating area and I know too many of the kids to trust eating there, so we don't. Did you go to school to learn about computers, or have you learned by "doing?" I am impressed with all you know how to do! I would be lost big time!
"Gma" -- I'm surprised the pattern didn't give you the appropriate size zipper for the size sweater you are knitting. I admire you for jumping right in and doing it! My mom was a perfectionist seamstress as was my grandmother. I think that is why I never liked sewing when I lived at home. If I had to take something apart, I would put the item aside and never look back. Once I was married I started sewing, but never anything too complicated like a suit jacket type thing. I'd like to do some sewing for Maddy and Zowie. I'll have to start with a bigger pattern size so they can grow into it by the time I'd get it done . . . or else it will be out of season.
I'm off to get busy and show some sort of accomplishment for the morning. Have a great day!
Jean -- from Iowa!
