Winter Is Here
It has been one cold day here in the bayous. Don’t think it ever got above forty-five degrees today and it was in the very low twenties during the night.
My Uncle Sam deposited some money in my bank account shortly after midnight, so the first thing I did this morning was to make a trip to the grocery store. Not my favorite thing to do. On the way to the grocery I stopped by the library to pick up a book that had been on hold for me and was finally available. When I got back home from Ruston I drove to the library in Jonesboro and checked out a stack of books on tape plus a new series of four books. I can’t believe how many books I have checked out from the library. I thought since my sewing machine is out of commission and I can’t afford to get it repaired right now that I would have a lot of time to read. Forgot about needing to get books listed on my web page. Did not do any today but think I finally have my blog all up to snuff and duplicate days combined. So glad that I had Scott combine the two blogs. Much easier to post to just one. I probably spend way too much time on each post but my English teachers did a good job with me and I strive for correct grammar and spelling. :O) And then I will reread what I have written and decide to say something in a different way. Been known to change something two or three times. Oh well it keeps me off the streets at night. I have a feeling that very few people even read my blog, but that is fine since I am writing it for my own enjoyment and grandchildren I hope to have one day. I have always loved to talk; my mother said I started at the age of nine months. Since I live alone, I can either talk to myself or write what I am thinking and it seems saner to write.
Two or three months ago I was in Hancock Fabrics and saw something that was so cute I just had to buy it. Hate to say it, but I still have not used it.
Now isn’t that just the cutest little iron you have ever seen? It is four inches high and two and a half inches wide. I think it will be very handy to have right beside my sewing machine for pressing so that I do not have to get up and go to the ironing board to use a big iron. It definitely will be better than the tiny iron I bought a couple years ago that Brian says is nothing more than a soldering iron with a triangle welded to the end. It would be nice if it would get hot enough. And it cost more than two times what this little pink cutie cost.
