Sunday

 Far Guy, Jen and Andy went to the movies. They were all interested in Project Hail Mary. They report that the movie was really good. Sadie and I stayed at home. 

I finished the blue blanket.

It is a simple single crochet using a 6.5 crochet hook. I used about five skeins of Yarn Bee  Cozy Occasion in the color Nice To See Blue. 

The next blanket has been started it is a pale green.

Then I will be onto a different stitch trying to use up some of the yarn stash!

We have four appointments this week all at the end of the week. We have finished 16 out of 22 appointments.

the same

 Far Guy is about the same, not much better if at all and not worse.  The not worse part I am thankful for. 

I ran some errands in the morning...gas, car wash, groceries and Jen and I both had rewards to spend at Michaels.  It was a quiet afternoon...we watched Number 24 on Netflix...it was an interesting movie.  

I have a head cold...and I hope to kick that to the curb soon.  We had chicken alfredo, raspberries and strawberries for supper last night.  

Time that we Spring forward...gosh I hate the time change it takes me about two weeks to get straightened around...I wonder how long it will take Sadie as her tummy is on a time clock also:)

Sunset and Snow Report

 We had a nice sunset what we can see of it here in town.

Here there are houses in the way and back at home there are trees in the way.

Another warm day so the dirty snow melted even more.

I frogged a crochet project that was not as pretty as I envisioned...frogged it as in rip it rip it...wind it all back into a ball and begin again.  The new beginning was and will be worth it in the long run.  I watched most of Forgotten Love on Netflix in the afternoon and plan to finish it soon...I highly recommend it.  The kids have a recliner down in the movie room that I really like sitting/napping in...I plan to order one for back home.

It was a quiet day, Sadie was real tired after her day at doggie day care yesterday...that and one of her favorite people is gone again to a robotics tournament.  Jen is working double hours as she ended up filling in for a colleague that was dismissed....picking up someone elses classes half way through the semester is not easy.

Whats for supper?

 That seems to be a question around here everyday.  I chose what to cook yesterday. I asked for input on the chicken and was met with varied answers so I made it cooks choice.  

 

This was my plate and yes I scooched that asparagus over after I took the photo. 

It made for a pretty plate of gluten free food.  Scalloped potatoes: I made a rue with brown rice flour and butter then added the milk and poured it over sliced red potatoes and diced ham. Chicken: thighs stripped of their skin and fat, browned in butter and a bit of bacon grease and then baked in the oven.  Asparagus: I sprinkled the spears with a fine olive oil from Spain and dusted them with parmesan cheese, and baked them for about ten minutes. Delicious if I don't say so myself.

Tomorrow it is a burger with leftovers. 

Our weather has turned nice and warm for this time of year...a hint of Spring is in the air but I am certain it will not last long. Our daytime high yesterday was 41F or 5C eh! 

I re watched the first season of 1923 because season two is out. I enjoyed the first season again very much! I also watched Lion on Netflix...a great movie well worth the time to watch.

Cloth Sloth

 Jen has been working on a cloth Sloth. 

It will eventually end up on a canvas and go over to flippin happy home decor and more

It is very very cold here.  We ventured out for a quick trip to Hobby Lobby yesterday when it was just 2F or -16C.  I needed a skein of yarn to finish a project! 

I laid down in between loads of laundry and watched Peanut Butter Falcon on Netflix.  It  was a good movie I give it a 8 out of 10. 

We made lasagna for supper.

Puzzling and a few movies

 This puzzle was hard.  Never again will I buy a puzzle with so many dark pieces...it was a struggle...but it is finally done. 

The next puzzle has flowers and a couple of dogs...maybe it will feel like Spring instead of Winter.

It snowed here yesterday a couple of inches. 

This week I watched three good movies.  A Dog's Purpose, Carryon, and Jerry and Marge Go Large ( a true story).  All great movies and well worth the watch. 

Presently my crochet project has a few glitches to work out, so it is still in process.

Saturday stuff

We had an eventful morning.  We loaded up Ranger Blue with recycles and garbage for the transfer station...on the way there we encountered blue and red flashing lights.  It was a Conservation Officer...he wanted us to turn on the headlights of the Ranger, he also wants us to display larger letters of our license number ( the place where we bought the Ranger said ours were just fine) and he wants us to drive on the shoulder of the road.  He ran Far Guy's Drivers License.  No ticket just a warning.   Our Ranger is street legal ( it has mirrors and turn signals)...so driving on Township and County roads is permitted....in my opinion he was a little picky.   

 Far Guy finished the Christmas letter, soon they will be tucked into the cards and mailed. We ran out of ink so we made a trip to town.  Town was really busy...we grabbed our printer ink, milk and light bulbs and left the store as quickly as possible.  I think we stood in line longer than we shopped.  After our printing was finally complete we had a nap.  Our weather is cold. 

We had chicken alfredo and green beans for supper.  Far Guy watched some Hockey in the evening.  

I watched two very good movies yesterday.  Love actually...I enjoyed it so much I may watch it again.  Over on tubi there was a show called Finders Fee that was written and directed by Survivor's Jeff Probst that I also found interesting.
