That’s the way the weatherman described today.  Yippee….  I didn’t get to bed till one this morning as Linda came online around 11:30 and we yakked until I couldn’t keep my eyes open.  I woke in the middle of the night and had to turn the electric blanket on.  When I was out tonight it felt really cold even though the thermostat said 41 degrees.  It’s only going to get colder over the next several days!
     I got the towels and spa wrap mailed off today along with a box of things to Wanda that she can embroider for gifts, etc.  Then I worked on completing everything for Linda’s Christmas box.  I did state flower gold work embroidery on a sage waffle weave towel but I don’t like it that well.  I ran across another design that I may do on another towel.  Anyway, I did some other little projects today – a candy wrappers and drawstring bags as seen here. 

        

    

     I took off at 6:30 for rehearsal.  I was talking with Larry H afterwards and told him I was melancholy.  He asked why and I told him today is four years since I laid my “baby” to rest.  He told me that he has been praying for me and that he is glad that I came though all this without becoming angry or bitter. Then as I sat here tonight writing on the journal, Josh Groban sang “You Raise Me Up.”  Another tug on my heartstrings!
