Snow!
What the . . . more snow showers! Winter has its teeth in us and will shake its head at us, much like a puppy with a new toy until spring is here to stay.
I slept so soundly last night. Pulling an 18 hour day will do that to this Grammie, especially with doctor visit information to digest. Generally a 14 hour quiet day of spending it in our home is sufficient.
The lights did not get turned on in the studio today. We got a call this morning that we would be having company over the noon hour and they were 15 minutes away. Doug and Lynette are friends that we got to know years ago via the Sioux Falls trade show in South Dakota. This was going to be a treat. I had an oven meal for four tucked in the freezer along with scones to pop in the oven. About 1:30 they left, heading to the metro to visit one of their kids. A special visit. Dennis and Doug slayed all the dragons of the world in the patio porch with a pot of coffee and cookies, while Lynette and I shared coffee at the dining room table. Her and I passed on the cookies.
Doug went home with a jacket that represented the Dakota Territory Gun Ass’n that Dennis has shrunk out of. Doug was thrilled and check that off of our list to divest ourselves of items no longer needed.
With the new snow on the ground, Dennis gave me a ride to the Family Dollar as we were out of coffee filters. A friend, LuAnn, that I had worked with at the courthouse was purchasing laundry soap and we visited over the shopping carts a bit. She said my name had just come up at her home over the Valentine’s weekend. One of her daughters had asked her about a quilt that the grandkids were bundled under while watching cartoons. She relayed to her daughter that 23 years ago when a tornado had taken their home and everything within it, 2 quilts had come into their home that I and my mom, Lena, had made for them. The quilts are doing the test of time, just as they were meant to do. Sweet.
The unexpected portions of our days . . . perfect.
It will be interesting to see what tomorrow brings.
