Did you remember to change your clocks?

Don't feel bad about having to change the clocks. Next year with the new time change every automatic electronic device will have to be manually changed four times. - Once when the time changes in the spring, a second time when the device has been programed to change in the spring, a third time when the device has been programed to change in the fall and last but not least when the time actually changes in the fall.

I'm so glad most of the devices in my house are old enough to need to be changed manually so Iwill still only have to mess with them twice.

Well all except the bill gates programmed computer.

Thanks again for inviting us both games were great.

I was thrilled to see that this year the "atomic" clock actually reset itself in a timely fashion (not 2 dayas later). We have so much digital in the new haous, that at least all I had to do was change the clock hour on a bunch of ktichen stuff, and 2 manual clocks upstairs - thought I didn't do my bathroom clock -on the vanity - til this morning. I still haven't tackled my watch - it's a pain.

Have fun, I'm jealous - but maybe next time you guys visit she'll have received the latest package I'm sending. Hmmm- Donna - if Bobbie is visiting Cheryl, then I think we should have a visit, too....

Ellice - know you;ll have a fun visit

Cheryl's always trying to increase the NH population - convincing us to retire horthward. But, alas, our new rule is no retirement home in a place we need a snowblower. Hence, looking in the mountains of Western NC (though my latest fantasy is to move to Canada, and be a costumer for Cirque du Soleil - or a techie - they have amazing engineering things going on).

It is a sampler with a lot cross stitch, beads, crystals, and specialty stitches done in hand dyed silks, including waterlilies, dinkey dyes and needlepoint silks. It is an expensive project, but I love the look. I will post photos as I go as there really isn't a good photo that I could find. I grid most of my largest projects as I am only able to really work on them from now to March. I only work part time in the winter. It just makes it easier to pick up a project and go on. I haven't had a finish since the Hardanger Christening Gown, (other than the 12 temari I have done since last December) but should have 3 or 4 finishes this year. I work on a irregular rotation with my needlework pieces.

There are more games to come! and you're welcome anytime!

And it was a blast. I'm really gone to think hard on the new floss storage system

Cheryl

I'm stuck here until hockey season ends! no visits that are more than a few hours away.

You'll change your minds again and decide snow is a wonderful thing.

And it does snow in NC

I hope you all gave at least a passing thought to all us "poor" graveyard workers who had to work an extra hour... and a boring hour it was, too! Well, the first ten minutes were interesting because I had to figure out how to change the time on as many different systems as I could with no instructions. I never did figure out the motel phone and the last time I tried to fix the time clock I messed it up quite badly, so I left it alone. But after those ten minutes it was so boring... I was pleasantly surprised when my am relief showed up on time, though. I guess working graveyards for so any years, the time change never has really bothered me all that much. Tegan

Hi Mom! DAGD's games are midmorning to early evening, DAGS's games are mid afternoon to late evening.

Yes there are - lots of wonderful friends and stitchers!

I'm compiling that list! C

Ah, but you miss the key point - or ignored it - the snowblower requirement! NH receives vastly more snow than NC - even up in the western mountains. Hence - no snowblower needed. We both love NH, I just don't see us winning the lottery to have a summer/spring place in NE, and winter elsewhere - in which case then we'd have to get a little cottage in France (near where I used to live), and some shack in the Caribbean, and, well, of course a place in Canada - maybe out west, and well, the list goes on. And of course - we'd require our own personal ice rink to be built out back of the house - adjacent to my small stables and indoor arena. Don't need much, eh?

ellice

Including at the Caribbean house? How would you keep the ice frozen, Madame Engineer?

Well, the same way you do it at a rink in Florida, or California. Things called pipes and compressors, in a building with really good insulation in the roof.

Although - the Caribbean house would just have an outdoor surface like sport court, with boards of course, for roller. We can skate on wheels when there isn't ice around.

ellice

Uuhh--don't they have electricity in the Caribbean?? DR&H

Lucille

Yeah, but I was just contemplating a few times when we had warm, sunny days in mid-winter, that the outdoor rinks turned into slush, and you know darn well that NY's "warm winter day" is nothing like what the Caribbean calls "chilly". :)

I guess on those days you turn it into a wading pool.

Get a plow blade on the tractor. ;) live in a condo that does all that for you.... ;)

I'm with you!
