It is after 10PM. I just got home from having dinner with my friend Rosemary Mugan and then enjoying a concert by Theiss and O Connor at the Plymouth Arts Center with her and a whole slew of other friends that also came to enjoy the show.
Anyway, I am tired and going to go right to bed. Hope you sleep tight and hope I do too.

Happy St. David's Day. The daffodils I bought to celebrate the day. Daffodils are blooming in Wales and are a big part of the celebrations.
It was a quiet day. I was home almost all day. I did go and have lunch at Dairy Queen with the Bank Ladies. There were only three of us. But it was a nice break in the day. Always good to have someone one likes to talk to.
Same old, same old at home. I just keep plugging away at things. And eventually will be through everything. Still can't bring myself to do Dick's clothes, but I was chilly the other day and got one of his flannel shirts out and I love it. It makes me feel warm and fuzzy.
Til tomorrow. I am going to see Theiss and O'Connor tomorrow evening with my friend Rosemary. They are a great local Irish trio.

I stepped outside of the house twice today. The first time to put a letter in the mailbox and the second to pick up the mail.
Not a bad day. The snow has stopped falling and the wind seems to have died down. Not especially cold but not warm enough to reduce the very high snow banks around the greenspace in front of the condo.
I had a maintenance on my water heater. The gentleman who came said that he was a block over at one of my neighbors. They also have windows out under a deck and there was a big deer resting there. He startled it a bit, but not enough to make it run away. With all the snow AND with so much of their habitat was stripped for the impending railroad that I recon they are looking for sheltered safe spaces. We do have at least three, I thought I saw four, that run back and forth behind us.
I believe that I have finished mending the top of Mom's Cathedral Window quilt. I say believe, because those little loose tabs can hide, I have discovered. I turned it over and now will check all the bottom seams, many of them are loose also.
I worked on the Cookbook today too. So it was a full day.
Tomorrow will be a day at home also, unless something comes up.

A winter Haiku by me
Gloomy Cloudy day
Made a hole for the sun and
Broke into a smile.

I am too tired to spend much time here tonight. You all know that I am a 9 O'Clock Wonder and it is almost 10PM.
The Celtic Gathering we planned occurred at 52 Stafford was just great. There were six of us, despite the storm. I was able to tell those attending about Sts. David and Piran and to share the Welsh Cakes with the members attending AND the customers around the bar.
The music was the icing on the cake.
Now I am tired. I love you all.

The predicted storm started a couple of hours ago. The previously clear driveways are now all white again. The storm started with a strong wind, I could hear it when I napped.
I got a LOT of trash out today, I have been shredding. I am a couple of years behind so next week will be another heavy load for the trash guys.
Then I went to do a couple of errands. I did a bit of grocery shopping, I don't need much but did wander the store and got some cat food and trash bags. Then I filled up my tank in the van as I was below a half a tank. Then I decided to go to Cain's Floral to see if they had a Daffodil plant. I wanted one for tomorrow for the CWI Meeting. We are celebrating St. David and St. Piran and the daffodil is featured at all of the celebrations for both feast days. Daffodils must be blooming in the British Isles now.
The rest of the day was spent here at home. There is never a lack of things to do. I never get bored. If I am tired of doing something, I just go to something else.
Today, I baked some cupcakes. I had a lot of corn left from dinner (I had some with two meals from the same package already) so I searched and make a batch of corn/bacon cupcakes with a maple frosting. They are OK. I like them but they are not at all like the decadent cupcakes that I made a couple of months ago.
Tomorrow will be quiet until evening when I will be going to 52 Stafford for the CWI meeting and the Craic.

Just another frantic Monday,
I had to have the car at Van Horn for its oil change at 8AM. So I brought a book along to read while I wait. I had Heaven is For Real. It is SOOO good.
From there I drove to Sheboygan Falls for Bible Study. Several people are on vacation, but we had a group of five and lots to say. The smaller groups sometimes are very intimate.
Mother was fine today. We did the pills and bills and had good time leftover to visit. She really feels pretty will. She will see the eye doctor on Thursday, her sight is bad and it is distressing her. I can't blame her.
I left for Sheboygan from there, picked up some supplies from Office Max and then went to Mark Miller's to get my taxes. He got done much sooner that I thought he would, it always depends on how busy he is and if he needs more information. He agreed with me that there is no way to figure out this year at all. I will file single and probably only have standard deductions. So we will wing it this year and next year be able to adjust.
Home again, I took a great nap. I must have been much more tired than I thought as I intended just to rest for a bit and fell sound asleep.
Tonight I went over to Redeemer Church for a practice for a musical program that will be at the Plymouth Arts Center in May. My friend Kate has been trying to get me to come for years. I finally went. I hope it isn't too much. I love singing and had a great time but am still trying to pace myself. We are singing pieces from several Broadway musicals, so at least I am familiar with the music.
So that is the day. I am now very tired and it is past my bedtime So rest well tonight and be ready for the day.

It would have been a whole day at home, BUT my printer ran out of black ink (darn) so I had to go OUT!
I went to Walgreens where I could pick up some cartridges and refill a prescription that I would have had to do tomorrow. So - Tomorrow is a very busy day and this will be one stop that I don't have to make.
A neighbor came over late this morning for a visit. Alison Smith, the condo board president, you remember her, Jim and Michelle, a really lovely lady. She is such nice gal and has a really big heart. I think she was worried about me, just because. We had a very pleasant visit. I will check in with her when I get back from my trip to visit again.
Then I spent the rest of the day getting things ready for Monday, which has turned into a marathon. The rest of the week is pretty lazy, thank God, but Monday will test my mettle. I start at 8AM at Van Horn for a service on the Van.
Must to early to actually BE somewhere. I didn't used to feel that way. Must be gettin' old.
Til Tomorrow
