Hallelujah!!!!

We did it, we finally have DSL. I should have known better than to believe that young man who tried to tell me I couldn't get satellite internet, without paying him $500 to do a custom install. lol I might have been born at night, but not last night.

I called Hughes Net, and within the week, an installer was here putting it on the roof. Hooked it up and now tada I have high speed internet. Oooh where do I want to go first? lol

Lots of snow in the last few days. Should be out snow shoeing. :-)

This week coming I have an appointment with the occupational therapist to help me get mobility back in my wrist. And maybe some strength in it too.

I'm also feeling lots better and starting to get that itch to clean! lol Poor Wayne. He complains cuz he can't find anything once I'm thru. What he doesn't know is I actually found it and put it away again.

Kids have been sick. Dakota has a virus that is causing high fever each time the Tylenol wears off. Allie had both ears infected. Jeesh, how do Eric and Hollie do it? Lol

Got a new applique quilt pattern last week. It's called Autumn Pathways, by The Quilted Crow. They're from Australia. Just love those Aussie quilters!

Well, that's about all that's new. Take care,  sylvia

Another new day...

Hello All... I'm trying to keep this up a little better. lol

Lots of good news since I last wrote. Allie had her first MRI and it came back clear. Thank God! She has to have an MRI every three months, but we can do that. The doctors are very positive that they "cured" this cancer. From their lips to God's ears...

I've also gotten the hard cast off and a soft removable one on. Whew.. what a relief. Although I didn't realize how much I'd gotten to where I relied on that hard cast. Guess I can't pound nails with my arm anymore... lol

Wayne and I have been spending some time at the camp lately. Headed down on Valentine's Day and started ripping down the old ceiling. We got the ceiling out from where the bedrooms used to be before we ran out of heat. Propane bottle empty! lol I've since ordered the natural gas fireplace insert and also got another propane bottle... this one full! lol Once the weather breaks and we don't have to use a salamander to keep warm, I'll take the propane bottle back.

Here's another block of my Baltimore's Country Cousins applique that I've been working on. Love the "blue bells". lol














This is the wreath block from the Baltimore's Country Cousins I've been working on. Fun but lots of leaves!!! lol

That's it for now. Thanks for tuning in! lol  sylvia

Welcome Back...

Anybody out there? Lol I'll bet you're wondering what happened to me. Well, the last day of the year, New Years Eve Day I managed to fall out in my driveway and break my arm!!! The Radius bone down by the wrist. I was in so much denial that it wasn't until the next day that I asked Wayne to take me to the hospital. Xrays and cutting off my wedding band later, it was put into a temporary cast. :-( By Monday of the next week I got into an orthopedic doctor and good news was it didn't require surgery. The break was in place. Bad news was temporary cast taken off and a hard permanent one put in. Today I'm finally out of the hard cast and into a soft removable one. I take it off while I'm at home. It's been tough! lol

We are hoping to get back to working on the camp when the weather breaks. We went down a few weeks ago and looked things over after the high water and it was 16 deg F in the sun!!! lol We're both eager to get the old ceiling down and new one up with insulation. Then we can stay there. But there are a LOT of leaks to be plugged!

Here's a photo of my new little hand sewer! lol I found these Lace Up cards in a Clotilde Catalog and remembered them fondly from when I was little. I used to sit by the hour and "sew" with them. Allie enjoyed them tremendously even though it was a struggle shoving that big plastic needle and yarn thru the holes. It was my girlfriend Louise that reminded me that they used to be shoe laces rather than needle and threads.




Take care all, and hope it's been a good year so far for everyone!  Love and best wishes to you... sylvia
