We always worry when our kids or grandkids are out on the road or in the air! And yes.... I love retirement in th at I don't have to go out in this nasty weather unless I absolutely have to. Home is where I'd just rather be.

Ouch and yikes and now we're going to get freezing rain on top of it. I've never made socks yet!

Pretty darned cold for Oregon. I lived in Sheridan, WY in the mid 70's.. and one year it got down to 34 below. Didn't stay there very long! Minus temps are kind of unusual for both Wash. and Oregon for the most part, but now and then those horrible cold fronts move in. The other night, it got down to -14 here! My dad worked at Thom McAn for many many years and managed some of the stores in the Portland, Oregon area. I loved their shoes! And I'm plugging away at that quilt! The baby is due any day now! Hugs..

I'm kind of glad to get Christmas ...Hi Marilyn. I'm kind of glad to get Christmas wrapped up and on to the New Year. Your Christmas bed looks lovely. I love those kinds of touches. Thanks for your visit and home fires look more and more wonderful the older we get, don't they? I'm so glad my grandson got home safe and sound and then that horrible thing happened in Florida. We just don't know what we will hear about next..Hopefully...a Happy New Year..JudyJudy at GoldCountryCottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10282585980012016892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6181382386833074929.post-59051757247473045722017-01-07T18:53:45.882-08:002017-01-07T18:53:45.882-08:00Its been cold but all the snow is gone....the wind...Its been cold but all the snow is gone....the wind in IL has been brutal.. Love the colors os your crochet but since its been so cold here I've been knitting up a storm on socks. I have pairs going at one time. Love the blanket you found for your bed really is very pretty.

It was -5 yesterday morning and the forecast is more snow next week. I'm so glad that I have the option to stay home and off the roads. . . retirement is grand. I do remember Thom McAn they were a very well made shoe and very popular. I hope that you haven't thrown your Susan Branch calendar away, because it would make some lovely decoupage signs to hang and change with the seasons. Now for the baby blanket that you are making, it is gorgeous!!! There is nothing as nice as a handmade gift and this one is going to be treasured, I am sure :) <br />Stay warm my friend.<br />Connie :)Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08187302890702147585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6181382386833074929.post-82923180941649987672017-01-05T17:35:53.022-08:002017-01-05T17:35:53.022-08:00Linda, thank you for the comment.

In case you see this, it's good to know we have the same interests. I used to be obsessed with sewing! now I'm more obsessed with paper crafting.... and now and then... with crocheting. I love how crocheting is so relaxing. Sewing.. on the other hand.... kind of hurts my neck and back as I lean over the machine so much.. so I have to limit it now. Have a great January!Marilyn McLeod @ Pink Paper Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13166022624714254716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6181382386833074929.post-82402956273953763962017-01-05T09:14:05.878-08:002017-01-05T09:14:05.878-08:00It's been fun peeking in at what you've be...It's been fun peeking in at what you've been up to Marilyn! We have a lot of the same interests... I used to quilt & sew (need to get back at it), and I love to crochet... love animals as well, but my home is filled with dogs. LOL. Thanks for sharing where you got the calendar... I love her design. Your sister is going to love it when you are finished.Linda Pekrulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16792163419944212787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6181382386833074929.post-79503319825018056312017-01-04T15:08:37.410-08:002017-01-04T15:08:37.410-08:00Jean, that is pretty sweet!

I'm just NOT a snow bunny and wish about now that I was living at the Oregon coast... though they even got some snow today!

I've loved her for years.. and more now that I follow her blog. I've read her first book, The Fairy Tale Girl, which talks about her early life and I so want to read the next one! Have you read any of her books? She is so talented with her artwork and writing.<br /><br />Hope you are enjoying sunny Florida! We woke up to about 15" of snow this morning. Ugh. on top of the 6" we already had on the ground. Wish I was in Florida about now!<br />~Marilyn~<br /> Marilyn McLeod @ Pink Paper Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13166022624714254716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6181382386833074929.post-66137976945903205522017-01-03T21:43:56.689-08:002017-01-03T21:43:56.689-08:00This blog is a sweet "Christmas Cameo of Old ...This blog is a sweet "Christmas Cameo of Old and New" ...<br /><br />Kittens,<br />Cookies,<br />Calendars,<br />Crafts,<br /> and<br />Thom McAn.<br /><br />I love it!<br /><br />Keep cozy.<br /><br />JeanKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15694533145072958051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6181382386833074929.post-9078879958660685082017-01-03T16:31:01.271-08:002017-01-03T16:31:01.271-08:00I have the same exact calendar.

Of course, I'm not going to part with it!<br /><br />Oh, and I don't know what you're talking about! You've got lots of mojo going on it seems :). Projects galore, and tons of things checked off your list. <br /><br />As for me, well, we're in sunny Florida and just about to play night pickleball, so I'll catch you on the flip side ;).<br /><br />xxx<br />Doreen@foxdenrdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09418636999038800443noreply@blogger.com
