Quilting

Jude and I decided to put Anne and Del's quilt together so we can get it quilted by Tim's wedding. It took us all day yesterday and we concluded that it really makes a difference having a lot of people involved. More helpers make it much quicker. Now we will get fabric and put on the border and it will be ready to quilt.

Sitting here looking out the window at the snow falling gently to the ground. A pretty scene in December but not at the end of March. We still have two or three feet of snow on the lawn and it has been added to this last week when it snowed every. fricking. day. As I said to Lisa once, the glaciers are not disappearing, they just moved to Rocky.

Tim and Courtney came over on Friday night for supper bearing Thai food. Our neighbour across the street makes it in her home and you just order and go over with containers and she fills them up for you. It was delicious. While we were eating we put Grady in the living room to play. Near the end of the meal, I heard a little sound, looked down to see him just shooting across the floor to the table. While we were eating he figured out how to climb the steps!

Geoff got a call from a company asking him to go to work for them part-time from April to September. He has decided to try it out although he is a bit reluctant to give up his time off. But it will be a way to add considerably to the travel fund. And it won't be full time.

Lots of changes at work again, but the new people all seem really good. I do like having young enthusiastic people around. One new reporter worked as a summer student last year and the other is from Newfoundland, as is the new editor.

We bought a new stove and took the old one down to Jude's, so her place is pretty well done, although there always seem to be little finishing things to do. We have worked out that she will join us for supper every night, it seems silly for two people to be cooking separate meals. She will take care of her own breakfast and lunch and will take a turn cooking occasionally. I think it will work well.

The new stove is quite fancy. Geoff did the research and buying. He's the one who uses it the most, after all.
