Good Sunday morning. The dogs slept until 7 this morning and sure were glad to get back in the house after potty. We went down to 4ºF last night. I'm sure Linda's pansies would not have survived that! Sunshine is on the plate for the day though so it's not too bad.

Joanne spent most of the day here yesterday and my pictures are now hung by a professional. She has "The Eye". Some prints or paintings are yard sale candidates but some that I thought were rejects have now been professionally matted and reframed. In the process of reframing a print she found another watercolour done by my aunt behind it. It's great to have three of her paintings in the same house where she spent her girlhood. So nice to have such a talented friend with professional training. She even made my space in the two rooms bigger by repositioning some mirrors!

Sure glad I cooked the corned beef overnight in the crockpot rather than waiting for today - there are four big hunks and they can use a bit more cooking this morning. I am also going to make and mash the potatoes and keep them in the regular crockpot. I decided not to do colcannon (picky kids!) but will do cabbage and kale separately. I might get a chance to do some sewing today since I think everything will be in control.

What is Delta Family Dinner? About five years ago, Joanne's husband committed suicide right before Christmas. It was sort of a "bummer" Christmas so we decided to do Christmas dinner in January for us. Karen and Heather were separated and I was widowed. We've taken turns doing it monthly ever since. DFD is always on a Sunday night and is fun. Now the kids have GFs or BFs and Heather has a new man in her life so we've grown. Works out fine as everyone shares the load financially and otherwise.

I think I'll spend the a.m. doing laundry, prepping food and setting the table which will leave me the afternoon to do some sewing to get ready for the week - slacks to shorten and some quilting. We'll see how that works out. It's Sunday so I may have drop-in callers. It's cold but sunny and lots of folks still do Sunday drives around here.

Enjoy your day.

Good morning,

Got a lot accomplished yesterday, got our pedi's, got crafts to do a project for DD2 for school, picked up a dress for DD2 and got groceries and did some cleaning. Today will be finishing up cleaning and got loads of laundry in the washer.

I don't think I mentioned but I slightly turned the dang ankle again Friday night slipping off a sidewalk not as bad as last time thank god but still a set back in recovery. I think the doctor wasn't lying when she said it could take it a year to get back to normal stability.

Tywnn yea for heartbeat staying down

Karen you might try to adjust the brightness and resolution to see if that helps with both.

Cottage enjoy the day with the Redhats

Ruth enjoy the dinner

Have a wonderful Sunday

Sounds like a bunch of busy chicks today!

I have been to the grocery store; and will soon make some of Kalyn's egg muffins for DH, as well as hard boil a few eggs. Then I need to do laundry. You know, just normal niggles.

Pearl, hope the ankle feels better soon.

Tammy, I am glad your medication helped. It's been a long road for you but I'm impressed you've stayed so positive.

Ok, I need to menu plan and such. Later!

Tammy glad the meds are helping. Between your appetite being effected and your rapid heart rate you are getting cardio workouts :) Hopefulky you will see a difference in how you feel after work.

Ruth that is so nice your Aunt's paintings grace your home.

Karen it took me awhile to get used to my IMac's large monitor. Now I love it because I don't need my glasses to see it!!!

Day 3 of clean eating. So far so good. Come on scale cooperate please!!!!

Ok back to work have a great day!!!!
