Good day for a test run

[Guest guest]

Hi Gang

Just a note of encouragement! I am trying something new, posting a message from

my e-mail instead of the website or by reply. It is a good thing to feel good

enough to try to learn something new, and even better if it actually works, so

we will see when this comes thru. I am on digest so it will be a while before I

get to see this post, and I am not going to waist precious time by going to the

website to see if it goes thru! Does that sound odd? Yes I am starting out to

have a good day. Just a bit of a stiff neck, I can live with that. Just a bit

of discomfort in the back, I can live with that too. The sun is shining out

side, the snow is melting and it looks more and more as if we are going to have

an early spring breakup season here on the Kenai Peninsula of Alaska. I have so

many projects that actually do give me joy to do, but I cannot decide if I want

to do the outdoor projects, or some of the indoor ones. I know that they will

all make me tired and sore, but the happy in the heart will make it worth while.

Some of the projects include tidying up the greenhouse and getting the seedbeds

ready, also have a new heater to get put together for the greenhouse I WILL HAVE

TOMATOES THIS YEAR!!! Cleaning up the shed that houses the 4-wheeler, empty out

the 4 wheeler trailer so that I can use it in spring cleaning of the yard.

Start to get the old wood shed ready to take down so that I can move it, have to

stake out and clean up a different part of the yard for the new shed. (too close

to the house for the insurance to be happy with it!) We ahve mostly wood

fireplace heat in the winter, so that is a big deal for us. It is too early to

do much outdoors, but I can get started , and I am just itchy for spring

cleaning! Indoors I am working on finishing part of my cieling, but I need my

hubby to help with that, it will look good with nice wood panneling instead of

the floor joists that hold up the loft floor. In my loft room I need to tidy up

what has become a sewing room and storeage of all the camping gear. I am

finishing a wall that we just put a window in, and I want to put in shelves to

organize my quilting stuff. I am planning to build a nice sewing machine

cabinet that will be home to my new quilting machine and also have a fold out

sort of spot for the serger. My old Singer has her old cabinet and that will

stay. I inherited that machine from my first mother in law. We were closer

than 2 peoplle could have been, she wanted to adopt me and get rid of her no

good son!!!! It was all I got when she died, her rings and mink coat went to my

husband's girlfriend (yes you heard right) & the Dad in Law and his no good son

sold the rings and went to Las Vegas!!! That was many years ago and I am still

agravated about it! O well, I have a good hubby now, and My dear MIL's spirit

and love are still with me in the sewing machine. As you can see, I love my

sewing room! But I also love the greenhouse and the weather is getting warmer

as I type! And by the way, I really am having a good day! I can type today! I

will let you know how the day goes, O by the way, I am also getting my bowles

ready for my first colonoscopy scheduled for early Monday morning, so no dinner

tonight, just liquid today and that gunk tonight! Whis me luck!

Love and gentle hugs,

Connie
