We're lucky because the rest of the state has gotten quite a bit of snow, our area is the only one without any. As a matter of fact today there are travel advisories for most of the state. Can't go anywhere anyways because my husband took the car downstate to go hunting with my son. We have an old truck but I don't trust it. Yesterday I took it to the post office and when I got back in the car it wouldn't start. Yikes! I just waited a few minutes and then tried again. Started right up. <br /><br />Knitting an afghan and a baby blanket sounds very ambitious. What type of scarf are you going to make? I have about 100 projects that I want to knit. There will never be enough time to do them all. Also want to do some sewing. It's been a long time since I had the time. You know, you can send me an email. My e-mail address is at the top of the page. That way you wouldn't need to check back here.Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01851312702044308420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5051110165755611111.post-15505524461389080392014-11-18T05:47:02.655-08:002014-11-18T05:47:02.655-08:00Hi Jane, no need to apologize..look at me, I am la...Hi Jane, no need to apologize..look at me, I am late in responding to you! It has been very busy around here. I wonder how much snow you have, I heard there has been an awful lot in Wisconsin so I imagine you got quite a bit too. Hope you are doing well and safely snug inside.<br />Your mittens for Felix sound adorable, I'm sure he will love them! I am knitting a blanket/afghan for my bed or just to cozy up with. I just purchased and received some yarn to make a scarf and also a baby blanket for a gift..so lots to keep me busy now that winter has arrived. We got our first snow this past weekend, it was so pretty.

Lots of requests for mittens this year. They're kind of a snoozer to knit (all that boring ribbing). I knitted up a really cute pair of Norwegian ones for my grandson Felix. They had Scotty dogs and snowflakes.

After my last comment telling you I was feeling better, I turned around and got sick all over again. There is a horrible bronchial mess that's going around here, and almost everyone has been having at least two rounds of it. I finally dragged myself to the grocery store and stocked up on some citrus fruit, I'm determined to find away to eat better and build up my immune system so that I'm not so susceptible to all of these things.<br /><br />You hit the nail on the head when you stated that we tend to be too hard on ourselves sometimes. That's what I loved about the little book I reviewed--it was all about setting your priorities for the season of life you're in and STOP trying to live up to everyone's expectations (even our own) and yet how to pick ourselves up and get to a place of feeling better and living OUR best life. <br /><br />Glad to hear of the Bible study plans, too. One thing we've been doing is following the Torah study schedule and reading and studying the Torah portion each week. We're using the Stone Edition Chumash, which is a Hebrew/English translation with commentary. Jewish commentaries open up a whole new realm that helps me think outside the box of what I accept as normative Christian thought and interpretation of scripture. I don't always agree, but it makes me think about why I think the way I do! I'm loving the systematic, verse-by-verse approach, and by trying to keep up with the schedule, it keeps us from getting bogged down too much--we learn what we learn, and move on, tusting that the Holy Spirit will give us additional understanding when we can handle it, lol!<br /><br />Charlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08375151972784634379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5051110165755611111.post-961593250861245242014-01-03T11:46:05.291-08:002014-01-03T11:46:05.291-08:00Hello again, just wanted to stop in and tell you h...Hello again, just wanted to stop in and tell you how much I enjoyed hearing from you again. Thankfully the New Year, or really just the days since Christmas have been much better than the weeks leading up to it! I packed up the tree and decorations yesterday, and took the opportunity to purge a few holiday items that were past their prime and not sentimental, and am starting on the rest of the house, as well. I'm determined to simplify and rid myself of clutter mentally, physically, and spiritually. Although I worked on it last year, I keep finding myself in need of it again--guess my maintenance efforts aren't keeping up, lol! <br /><br />Wishing you and yours a healthy and wise New Year!<br />Charlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08375151972784634379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5051110165755611111.post-58941661067218159982013-12-28T11:16:13.780-08:002013-12-28T11:16:13.780-08:00Hi, Jane, long time no "see"!

We had a leak at church that flooded half the sanctuary and about 1/4 of the rest of the building, so I've been dealing with water mitigation, demo, cleaning, etc. Our son was mugged, so we spent one evening in the police station and at the ER to be sure he didn't have a concussion (thankfully, no), and then helping him take care of replacing his phone, wallet, etc.; an uncle had a stroke right before Christmas, and I was down for the count for most of December with a horrible chest cold/bronchial congestion. It's been one thing after another for the last 6-8 weeks. I think I see the light at the end of the tunnel, I just hope it isn't a train, lol! <br /><br />Love the new header picture--makes me miss the couple of years I lived where it snowed. Hoping you and yours are all doing wonderfully, and looking forward to the New Year.<br /><br />Love, CharleneCharlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08375151972784634379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5051110165755611111.post-91593346133432861282013-12-22T09:21:54.045-08:002013-12-22T09:21:54.045-08:00How are you now???How are you now???Aritha V. https://www.blogger.com/profile/05246873990952078356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5051110165755611111.post-90949464178450451922013-11-29T11:30:18.379-08:002013-11-29T11:30:18.379-08:00Hi Jane, how nice to find your post today!

Sometimes when the river was high the water would rush through the branches and little green apples would go bobbing down stream. It was a most unusual and beautiful thing to see! It sure has been cold down our way this week, unusual for this time of year. Most of the leaves blew away in the big storm the other night and the cotton has been harvested. It has been a beautiful autumn. We are still in construction mode here at our house. But we are getting close to the finish. Everything looks very fresh, but the hard part is putting it all back together. We have both been fighting bad chest colds, for what seems like weeks now. One of us gets better then the other gets a relaspe ect... :) Nothing too miserable just enough to zap our energy. I hope you and Ran have a lovely and restful day ahead!

I tried making those Neapolitan cookies one year, but didn't have much success. I'll have to try your recipe. You know what I think? I think you're a much better cook than what you let on!<br /><br />Oh yes, during WWII the British used them since they couldn't import any citrus. I like to teach people things like that just in case we are ever plunged into a worldwide depression or something catastrophic happens. Plus they are free!<br /><br />So good to hear from again, Andrea! Hope everything is going smoothly over your way. How's the empty nest?
