Looks gorgeous, Maya!

Good thoughts, Chris! Hope you're in recovery and RESTING! Obey Phylis, or else.

Afternoon, all! Wondering where in the day's process Chris is about now. Hope its over and she's resting. It is definitely warmer today (20s) and the sun was brilliant for a while. The art supply store is advertising some new pens and I want to get there to buy some. This evening a genealogy...

We've got a whopping 1 degree F. this am! I'm off to the historical society for a meeting and research. Really do NOT want to go out the door. Looking forward to more geography or whatever today. Chris, hope you're well fortified with caffeine when you get back. Happy weekend, all!
