Lots of happenings with Dennis being gone for the day. A surprise visit this forenoon from Dennis’ daughter and family as they are visiting multiple families. The Silver Bay north country people reported maybe an inch or two of snow on the ground and it seemed like a good time to travel as that could change in a heartbeat. Good thing the cookie jar was full.
I did get back to hemming a quilt for a bit, still taking time off to put files into folders for the sewing embroidery options. It does seem that I am someone who needs to see and take in all new items via the computer. After repeating the steps several times, I do scratch my gray head of hair trying to understand what the stumbling blocks were initially.
In the late afternoon, I visited Dennis’ daughter’s home here in St. James. The youngest of Dennis’ grandchildren is taking a job in Seattle as a personal trainer. Cheyenne had her last college exam right before Thanksgiving and she will be leaving on the last day of November and starting her new job the first full week in December. I did remark to Cheyenne that when I retired at the age of 65, my end salary per hour is where she is starting. Amazing. I came home with a huge stash of her t-shirts from her participation with the college track team. Her desire is to end up with a quilt large enough to use on her full sized bed and lofty enough that she won’t miss hugs and cuddles from family. Her cat Lou will be going with her. Priceless. Young people are so much more adventuresome than I ever was.
Dennis will be stopping in to say goodbye to Cheyenne on his way home from the Jackson trade show. What a blessing that the temps being in the mid 40s allowed for everyone to get to and be where they wanted. Maybe . . . we might have a few more nice days before the blanket of snow will allow all of us to cuddle into our warm homes for a long winter spell.
