Yesterday was Kristi's birthday. Sadly, she is sick with a sinus infection so it didn't make for a nice birthday. We did have her requested meal last night even thought she really didn't feel like eating. I will make it again when she gets to feeling better. She got a lot of nice presents this year. Brian surprised her with an external hard drive full of the series and shows that she has been asking for. Now, she can watch them or copy them to a DVD. She also got a satellite radio for her truck and a picture frame with a recorded message from Alayna. Her last present was a container of "puppy chow" for her to snack on. It was a joke since Tom would not allow her to have a dog for her birthday. I told her that since she couldn't get the dog I would give her the "chow" for her instead. Since she didn't want a cake until Sunday with Granny & Grandpapa I made chocolate fondue. Do you know how hard it is to explain to a 5 year old what fondue is when you are buying stuff for a lettace salad. But, once the chocolate was melted and she got the idea she ate very well. She loves chocolate and this was chocolate covered everything!!!
This has been a wild week. With the election, weather, my blood-pressure, Kristi sickness, Brian's job issues, and his recent break-up with his long time girlfriend. I am glad that it is the week-end and we don't have to go anywhere today if we don't want. Mom is going to town to get her cheese cloth for her fruit cakes (yuk!). She forgot she needed some when I was at the store yesterday.
Mom is working on another quilt. This was is really pretty. It is black and white - mainly black. I can't wait until she gets this one finished. She has a couple of quilts that will be displayed in an upcoming quilt show. There is a record number of quilts on display at this show, so I guess that I will have to go and see them all. I am sure that she will want pictures of some of the designs to try to make on her own.
Last weekend we spent all weekend outside cutting trees for firewood. But, this weekend our chains are getting sharpened so we can't finish what we started. We have another chain saw, but don't think Tom wants to use it. If it wasn't so windy, we would get the mower and vacuum out and rake leaves but we can't burn them due to the wind so I doubt we will do that. I see a quiet week-end in my future.
I guess I have rambled on enough. I think I will go start breakfast and then maybe I will scrapbook some today. I am still working on 2006 Christmas pictures!!
