Goodbye January!!

 

Don’t let the door hit ya in the behind, as they say.  I don’t know about you, but I’m ready to be done with January … this month has seemed to last foooooorever! I guess it’s been the crazy weather … pleasant, almost-springlike temperatures one day, bitterly cold temperatures the next, 15” of snow in one feel swoop.  I like snow … but not that much (at one time, anyway) and certainly not with those frigid temperatures!! 

 

At least with February, we have hope that spring will be here soon … spring training starts, we have a couple of birthdays in the family, and it’s a short month, so even if it’s cold and snowy, we only have to endure 28 days of not. 

 

DH and I finished that puzzle we started a week or two ago.  It’s missing one piece … a corner piece.  Since we start by putting together the borders (is that how you all start a puzzle?), we knew from the get-go that we were missing a piece, although we hoped that maybe we just didn’t see it when we first separated the border pieces.  We’ve got another puzzle waiting to be worked … I’m not sure if we’ll start it soon or if we’ll wait a little while, take a bit of a break.

 

I’m still working on my Storm at Sea.  I’m getting closer to the outermost band of blocks … but the further out I go, the more blocks are in a band so it doesn’t go any more quickly when I’m stitching in the last two bands like I am now.  At least before too much longer, I’ll get to use my border hoop that I bought last fall.

 

We booked our condo for our May trip to Hilton Head … wiser heads prevailed and we both agreed that because of the significant savings, we’d book the non-ocean view condo and add a couple of more days to our trip.  ;-)  I can walk around to the other side of the condo building and get a picture of a sunrise or two. Of course, now that we’ve booked the condo, I’m ready to go NOW!  ha!

 

Have a fabulous Friday, y’all!
