Lo and behold the snow did find us. The five or so inches of the heavy wet stuff laid just where it fell as we had no wind with it.

I am in “pace” mode. Working with a new sewing machine, a new cell phone and a new computer, pacing myself, dedicating a bit of time to each new item until it is secondary to my gray matter is what is called for.

Kersten helped me with the cell phone on Christmas Eve day. Me, myself and I are in charge of the computer. Today I worked with it until I had the items done to do the initialization of it with me, the user. I got it as far as the connection is up and running with the wireless router for access to the world wide web. At that point, I patted myself on the back and headed down into the sewing studio.

It is a cross between disappointment and frustration when family members ask me to do projects with little to nothing to work with. Where were the mothers when they could have encouraged their daughters to pay attention in Home Economics while in high school, rather than doodling in their notebooks? Dennis counters with a comment regarding past projects where I have managed to work miracles. Bless that ole cowboy’s heart. He sure does know how to butter me up.
