Yippee
Sweet emails were opened this morning. The Minnesota Electronic Return and the Federal Electronic Return were both accepted. I printed off both of the submission IDs that I will put with the printed returns. Whew! Check that off the list of items to keep track of.
The first round of weather came this morning with very light, but wet snow. Dennis bundled me into the little red pickup and we headed out for several errands here in town. Returning back home knowing this is the best place for these two older ones.
I thought I would be keeping the studio dark until my Amazon order came with the set of four bias tape makers would come on Friday. I did read off and on, also watching some traffic. Here I am, in the studio with my electric heater blowing nice warm air across my legs. It’s amazing how warm 65 degrees can feel when the basement studio is in transition from frigid winter to a wanna be spring.
I have Dennis in the living room with the HP fired up for him. Dennis wanted to have some reading material on a certain topic. His granddaughter Sadie had called him at noon. She had just found out that she has made the status of the Army Sergeant Major. It is quite the accomplishment for this 37-year-old single mother of two. Dennis knew she had taken on the riggers of this status and reading more about what it entails on our computer is a good idea for grandpa. Sadie is the only family member of Dennis’ that decided on a military career. Dennis and Sadie speak the same military language and the two are great buds. Sadie is good for grandpa.
There are now three kits of fabric, all cut at 2.5″ wide for a double bed size, that I have cut up from my stashes, ready to work up log cabin quilt tops. The three cover blue, green and burgundy. As I have mentioned before, there are no family members in need of a finished quilt right now. I enjoy sewing and in time if no family member comes forth, I will donate the quilt tops to the church ladies to finish them. They know of families that have needs after a home fire or if a health situation has caused strife.
It is three in the afternoon. In times long gone, I could well be on the phone chatting with my mom and dad as three was their coffee time. All I needed was a cup of coffee to join in. After my folks were gone, my sister, Elvera, and I chatted over the phone many times at three. Hmm. No more chatting at three.
Supper is leftovers from last night.
KNUJ is on top of the snow info that may be coming our way. Unfortunately, the weather forecasts have been right on. Stay safe, and for us older ones on Stauffer, you can find us at home or on the end of a phone conversation if we are needed.
