From MARY Jo G.
Your dog is having so much fun in the snow, Rosey. It is beautiful but am glad that ours is gone. Picked up three bright primroses and will plant them in pots on the porch to brighten our rainy and foggy days.
I worked in the quilt room today on
organizing. It is coming along. The grandsons carried quilt books and mags
upstairs. Have been sorting them into stacks according to their purpose. The
give away pile is the biggest. Sharing the room complicates things. With two
sewing machines and separate projects going on, it can get cluttered. I should
give Stephanie a drawer or bin for her things. She is a perfectionist and a
delight to teach. Every one of her points match on her first project. I'm very
fortunate to have a delightful grand daughter in law who wants to quilt.
Have had a virus for 10 days and am
ready for it to be gone. Lots of coughing and sneezing going on. Have become
very aware of how difficult it is to be ill while living alone. Will think on
getting a lifeline or something similar. And, should leave a key somewhere in
case of emergency workers needing to get in. Maybe across the street... I feel
quite safe here but the bug got me thinking on what could happen.
Grand daughter Brooke is in Ecuador
in language school and enjoying her time there. She posts lots of pics which
helps us to know what is happening. Fun to watch the water going down the drain
counter to what we see. She is right at the equator.

I'm not sure, Mary Jo, just where the most ideal place to live is between the equator and the North Pole but the fact is, heating is a huge issue for us here an hour north of Toronto. We heat by wood, mainly, the cost of hydro here is huge (we have to account for paying their executives huge bonuses and salaries to run our hydro company apparently). Annie loves the snow, ploughs through any depth of it to get out to go potty but with the Canadian dollar taking a dip as it is because of the oil situation, I'm thinking, is there any real ideal place to live that you don't have to deal with the crises we do in winter just to survive and then in contrast to that, the heat of the summer in that place would not be so extreme that one boils in the hot months.

Mary Jo - Getting some sort of LifeAlert device sounds like a good idea. A few years ago, a widowed friend of mine had one but never used it.(she was too stubborn-LOL) However, shortly after she activated and started wearing it, she fell with a broken femur and used it to call for help. She couldn't get to the phone but the device worked. The ambulance knew exactly where to go because she was already registered via the device.
