Oops! It's been a while!

 And I have a very good reason for that.  Absolutely nothing is going on.  We don't go anywhere or do anything...this whole pandemic thing is really a win, win for me!!  Being a cave-dweller and all!!

We did get a big surprise this last weekend tho, so I thought I'd come on here and tell you about it.

I got this photo on Friday...

I called Laura immediately and she said they were on their way here!!  They were going to surprise us but didn't want to risk a heart attack! 

Papa and I got to spend a lot of quality time with my fellow cave-dweller...Hannah!  We saw the rest of the crew off and on...they had a wedding to attend while here.

Hannah and I were going to  make journals together, but time sort of ran out...so we said we'd do it next time.

It was really great to see all of them!!

So I've been doing some cross stitching and sewing.  I want to have a different "rug" for under the bowl for every month and cute things to put in the bowl.

Here is (was) my January Dough Bowl.

The January one is now put away and February is out.

I need to work on March because I haven't a green "rug" and no shamrocky things.

I have also been questing...of course.  Dredmama looks a little different these days and she's tough as nails!!!  Look out all you baddies!!

In other news...   

Jim stopped to check on our furniture and he was told it will be here March 27...we ordered it in the middle of October!!  Geesh!!

Also, I'm scheduled for my first Covid vaccine this Friday, February 5th.  Can't wait!!  Jim couldn't get in.  He had to get a letter from the GP because he has allergies, so he called and she said he can pick it up later that day, but in just the time it took to talk to her, all the appointments were gone.

Since I've missed a couple of Throwback Thursdays, I thought I'd put a few pictures up this time.

First is my Dad's father and mother's wedding photo, Henry & Edith Shield.  They were first cousins, their fathers were brothers and it had absolutely no effect on later generations...no matter what you may think!! 😊

Next is a photo of Angeline Shield (she is Henry's "from above photo" sister), Dad (Fred Shield)  my oldest sister Sharon Forsmann and her oldest child, Dean Forsmann.  Sad to say that they are all gone now...makes me choke up a bit.  I miss them all.

The last one is Dad...looking young and dapper.

Well, that's all the news...old and new...my darlings.  I hope you are all keeping well and staying safe.  Love to all of you!!
