Good morning, my friends. It was a run-around day yesterday, and so I made scant progress on my quilting project. Before I left home, I finished stitching the "Walk the Dog," block for The Story of My Day quilt. I just love these primitive drawings from Anni Downs.

Good morning, my friends. It ended up being quite a busy day here at the Three Cats Ranch. It was our day to mop the floor. Mike helps me move everything out of the way, and he does the sweeping. Then, it's up to me to do the mopping. For this task, I mopped myself to the door leading to the chamber of horrors downstairs. Then, I walked on the treadmill while the floor dried. All of that took most of the morning.
After lunch, I went to work making the promised Cranberry Ecstasy Bars. It's been a ...

read moreGood morning, my friends, although we're almost to lunch time. I think I can still avoid breaking any laws with my "good morning" wishes. As I mentioned in yesterday's post, I had breakfast with my friend Sue this morning and passed off the baby quilt for her new grandson.
Of course, I wasn't out this early, but the day started with a pretty red sunrise.

Good morning, my friends. It's a grocery shopping day, and so I'm writing fast this morning. It's another frosty morning. We'll be bundling up to venture out into the cold, cold world.
It was a fairly productive day yesterday. Lately I've been echoing Pennsylvania's Governor Shapiro who is fond of saying he "gets sh*t done." That's GSD to you. And that summarizes my day yesterday. I GSD. Maybe I'll just start writing in acronyms from now on. Figuring out what I'm talking about could be a good brain exercise. And ...

read moreGood morning, my friends, and welcome to December. It's a frosty and chilly morning here at the Three Cats Ranch. I imagine that will come as no surprise to those of you in the Midwest and the Northeast. You guys are probably digging out this morning. So sorry. I told this story to a Facebook friend yesterday: I once took a chemistry lab class in college. At one point during a day’s class period, we heard the unmistakable sound of a flask breaking and someone’s experiment results literally going down the drain. From the back corner of ...

read moreGood morning, my friends. It feels as if not much got done yesterday, although I did do everything on my list. I did my one assigned housekeeping chore. I did a Bowflex workout. I did some sewing. I did some slow-stitching. I baked some biscotti. Still...I had just four pictures on my camera when they were uploaded just now. So, I did some stuff...apparently nothing worth documenting. It's okay. Isn't the day after Thanksgiving supposed to be lazy? Aren't we all in a tryptophan coma? I mean...look at these two:

Good morning, my friends. I don't know about you, but I'm beginning to think I know what a turkey feels like after it's been stuffed. We had a wonderful dinner with Erik and Mae yesterday. What a feast! Erik brined the turkey in a buttermilk and herb brine, and then smoked it on his barbecue. It was so moist and delicious. Mae prepared all the favorite side dishes, including some newbies to our Thanksgiving table.

Good morning, my friends. If you're cooking this year, then you're probably busy today. I'm not even cooking, and I'll be busy. I did some cooking yesterday. On today's agenda is to bake some bread. After that, my Thanksgiving contributions will be finished. Once the bread dough is mixed up, it ends up being a lot of setting of timers and waiting, and so there will be plenty of sewing time today as well. It's a chilly day, but sunny. Mike has already said he's going to get out and rake up the ...

read moreGood morning, my friends. Fortunately, I survived my trip into town yesterday. There were about half a dozen things on my list (in addition to the white chocolate bars), and I was able to find everything I needed. In my mind, I was trying to decide whether to get two or three chocolate bars. When I found them in the store, they were Buy 2, Get 1 Free! That made it an easy decision. Three it is. The mind reels with possibilities.
Not on my list, but purchased anyway...a holiday wreath. They had them when we went on our ...
