The eyes have it

 Cats...or Cataracts, Far Guy has them and surgeries have been scheduled.  He is a bit bummed out that one appointment yielded five more appointments.  Can't say I blame him but I know he will be happier when he can see clearly again!

We had lunch with my other baby brother and she who sees robins first as they were passing through town to visit Katie for her upcoming 44th birthday in Western North Dakota. Happy Birthday Katie!

Minnesota weather: High 30F or -1C Low was 21F or -6C. Partly cloudy day. 

3D print of a cat for Cee Cee's Valentine box. I painted the eyes and put a bit of color on the nose and the inside of the ears.  Andy will put it all together..the cat will be peeking out of a cardboard box. It is amazing what that 3D printer can do!

Here is the completed Valentine box. The heart is also a 3 D print.

Quiet Day

 Tuesdays are usually quiet days as Sadie is in Doggie Daycare.  She was happy to see us when she came home. 

Far Guy drove me to the grocery store, we picked up a prescription, got gas and a car wash.  The car looks blue again instead of a grey blue.

We made pork chops, rice and green beans for supper.  We made the green beans with bacon and a bit of vinegar just the way the guys will eat them.

Far Guy was a bit hoarse yesterday from the biopsy on Monday.  He says it hurts a bit too.

This is Great Granddaughter Peach's Valentine box. She is going to love it...probably she will jump up and down many times in her excitement!

Minnesota weather: Partly sunny High was 32F or 0C  low was 16F or -9C. 

Relaxing moment yesterday...waiting for a train and admiring the art work on the boxcars.

report

Not much snow in the fields between Grand Forks and Fargo.  The West side of the road has drifts of black soil.  We were thankful for no blowing snow this time around...not that there is too much to blow around. 

Gas prices are fluctuating from $2.29 to $2.49  and we saw one station today that was $2.23

 The sun was out for part of the day then it got gloomy.  Far Guy took a photo for me. 

Far Guy had a number of biopsies of the two nodules inside his Thyroid gland...results may take up to a week.  Now we wait.

I made chili for supper and grilled cheese sandwiches.  The guys did all the dishes.  Jen is on Vacation in Belize.

Minnesota weather: High was 39 F or 4C  Low was 23F or -5C eh!  Nice weather for February!

 Creativity is alive and well this Valentine's week!  Jen helps the Great grandchildren with Valentine boxes every year.   They choose their own design and help with some of the design pieces. 

There was lots of paper crimping going on the night they visited here.  I helped to put Hey Mikey's Valentine box together. 

Interesting what can be made out of a cardboard box, tissue paper and crimped paper.  There is slot at the top amongst the dollops of sour cream!

Weekend Finish

 I finished the two dish towels my Mom left for me to do. I started on some of my own stamped designs that have been languishing in my embroidery box for a while.

Nice to have some completed projects. 

We had a quiet day, in the afternoon we watched Flipped it was a good movie.   Toward evening the Great Grandchildren were here to liven up the place! Andy made loaded nachos for supper.
