Feels Like the Usual
After a long spell of the cold temperatures, it begins to feel like the usual. Having the sun shine in all its splendor does help. The wind chimes have not dingle dangled in several days.
The time was right to hit the dust bunnies and change out the bedding. Dennis has full sunshine streaming into his south facing bedroom and it is quite toasty during the day. My bed is on the north and west walls. When I took off the quilt and sheets from the far corners, the bedding was definitely very cool to the touch. Insulation is good but not 100%.
The bright sun and the fact that the days are getting longer gives a lift to what may still come in the guise of winter. Dennis is out and about today visiting and running errands. Dennis also knows that ignoring the cold does wonders for answering the call of getting out and about to see what is going on in town. I know that Dennis will pick up Dwayne, stop at Casey’s for a cup of coffee for each of them and do a road trip here, there and anywhere where the little red pickup takes them. It’s a good thing.
I have had to shut down the laundry several times today as I was needed across town. When a quilting project is hung up, I get the SOS. Nephew Brett is spreading his wings and doing a king size quilt. 92″ x 110″ is huge. Brett gets hung up on colors that work well together. I have the time to help out and give encouragement. His long arm quilter serves him well even if it takes him at least two hours to get the backing, batting and top rolled independent of each other before he can take a single stitch. I am glad it’s him. I am more apt to stick with 69″ x 75″ for myself. As it was he will be going to Old Alley after wife, Molly, gets off work. The 108″ x 108″ that he purchased for the back is not going to make it. Good thing their hours on Wednesdays is until 7 p.m.
Life is good and getting a tap that I can help someone is sweet. Loving and helping Dennis is wonderful but there is always more within me for others . . . just bring on the requests.
