This is what my car looked like at 10 a.m. today. It's been snowing soft dry fluffy snow since yesterday. We have a good foot of snow, or more now. Calendar Girls met at Jackie's house today, & only a few of us made it. 2 are in Hawaii right now, & 1 in Utah, but the rest I think, just got snowed in.
We had a lovely lunch.
& Gene (Jackie's husband) entertained us with interesting stories of his early days as a surveyor in the wilds of Alaska, around WW2, before the Alcan Hwy was built,& long before the Pipeline. It sounds like an interesting time in history.
Here's what we had for lunch. A yummy tortilla soup, & Jackie's homemade corn bread.
She also made these wicked Pralines, oh so sweet & gooey. I'm showing these for Margaret, who is in Utah right now, she always checks my blog to see what she's missing.
I've been working on a new purse. Embellishing the heck out of it. I'll show pictures when I'm done. In the mean time, I wanted to post a couple more gifts I got at Christmas.
These were both from my DD Michelle. Above is an Outhouse birdhouse, that I put a little light in through a hole in the bottom, & turned it into a nightlight for the upstairs bathroom. Below are some silk fabrics she got for me from a friend who went to India. She gave her money & asked her to bring back some fabric for me. They are luscious silks, & I will use them for something special. Isn't she a thoughtful daughter?

Those candies look too yummy! and that silk - gorgeous!
don't you just love it when you get to chat with people who've survived and can relate their story. Happy 2008 too. Did you know after being inspired by a pic of your stove you posted last year I eventually got my own fitted and often will think of you in the winter months as I cosy by my own in this harsh weather. stay warm hun.
Now that's what I call a good daughter! And boy, that's some winter weather. I'm sure it made the get-together extra important.
Happy New Year!
Oh, I want to be in that snow!
That silk is divine. Good Daughter, very good.
I love the silk fabric, you'll make something wonderful with it, great daughter. The soup looked good also. Nothing better on a snowy day than soup.
