There doesn’t seem to be any let up in the phone calls that start in the morning hours through the late afternoon. Dennis does answer his cell phone when it rings. I think he has something going on with a gal named Elizabeth who tries to give him a cruise. I am thankful that family members send me a text if they need me and then a phone call may ensue if my response is going to put my fingers in a permanent cramp. For the cost of $19.00 a month we did decide to keep our land line. Many folks our age still use the antiquated tool.
More threats of snow coming for the weekend. I have decided to take advantage of it being too nasty for anything outside and get as much stitching done as I feel like. Yesterday when we were in Mankato we stopped at Mills Fleet Farm and I stocked up on dish towels to machine embroidery. My favorite quilt shop “River City Quilts” was also visited. All sewing accessories were 30% off. Fusible web is always handy to have on hand whether an actual project or to help with a tough mending problem. No . . . I did not purchase any fabric.
The north winds really whipped it up yesterday. In 2015 we purchased a new solid wood front door. Upon the installation it was noted that the door frame is quite skewed. Some decades ago it was an open porch with spindled posts and the slated floor for the rain to run off of. Out came the Press and Seal product . . . the one that advertises you can put over leftovers, tip the bowl over and it will hold the contents. What do you know . . . it also works to put over the crack between the door and the door frame. Why did I not think of this in the winter of 2015 and going forward. It is never too late to work through the little things in life that really just pisses you off.
