Well, the deep freeze is still with us. I DID go to Bible Study this morning. There were five of us there this morning which, since the temps were well below zero were brutal, was pretty special. There was Ione, Peggy, Joe, Liz and myself. I had a call from Fran Woodke wondering if we were meeting. She was not plowed out yet and lives out in the country quite a ways. I told her to stay put. I try to go in whenever I can because I also have my visit with Mother to look forward too. It is good that I stop at least that once a week to be sure she is OK and to give her a chance to remember any errands that I can do for her.

She is just fine. We reviewed the Wild Game Dinner. That sure was a fun day. I fixed a hash from some of the leftover Guiness Beef. Boy was that good. We will have the rest with eggs tomorrow for breakfast.

I got home at about noon. Dick was concerned because his open callous had developed a green color last Friday. The green was gone yesterday but was kind of brown and he was worried despite our call to Dr. Hodous, so we went to see Dr. Sharon this afternoon He said it looks fine, but did take a swab so the results of that test should allay any of Dick's fears.

On Friday De Siddique will do the next procedure to fix the circulation in his legs. There are up to eight of them over a ten week period. These will be far less invasive than the artery procedures as he will only be in the hospital for about an hour versus the 8 hours for the artery work. He is relieved about that. Eight hours on his back was just about unbearable.

I clipped away on the denim quilt. I figure I should be able to finish that part of it tomorrow, then it just needs to be washed and dried a couple of time to fluff it up and it will be done. The Clifford Crest is coming along too. I must stop and pick up some interfacing for a fill layer, I decided what I will use for a backing but should have SOMETHING for a bit of body between the layers. The crest looks great on the fabric I chose and the gold binding will really set it off.

Take care and enjoy your Tuesday. We are promised more snow. Doesn't seem quite fair. I hope it isn't bac in the morning when we have to go into Sheboygan.

I am watching the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show. I just love it.
