Quilting

Tonight I went to Quilt Guild. We had such an awesome meeting. We learned how to make table runners from border prints. We had a lesson on wool ... don't throw any of your old wool clothing or blankets. You can make mittens and all kinds of projects from the wool.

Waiting for Spring

I am so very tired of ice and winter. I'm ready for spring! On Friday we celebrated at school by running outside with all the students shouting, "HOODIE HOO" to chase winter away. Here are the facts:

Northern Hemisphere Hoodie-Hoo Day
When : Always on February 20
On this winter day, people go out at noon, wave their hands over their heads and chant "Hoodie-Hoo". It is a day to chase away winter and bring in spring. After all, everyone in the northern hemisphere are sick and tired of winter at this point and a little crazy being cooped up inside all winter and not seeing the sun.....Now, let's see if it works!

The Book of Esther

This winter I have enjoyed participating in a weekly Bible Study on the Book of Esther. It has been such an awesome experience ... it is a Beth Moore Bible Study. I love the story, the rich history, and fellowship with these ladies every Wednesday night. I'll be so disappointed when the study is done.

90 Years to Celebrate

February 13th was my father-in-law's 90th birthday. We celebrated in Rice Lake, Wisconsin. I am so lucky to be part of the Neumann family. We had a great time together!

Ice ... Ice ... Ice

I know I am getting old ... I hate ice! I think I fear it. Today there was no school because of ice. I had no idea that there wasn't school so I went to school. After I found out there was no school I decided to go home to have breakfast and coffee with Mike. The roads were super slick! I was stopped at the only stoplight in town and was hit by a kid driving a pick up to school (who didn't know it was called off either). The pick up was fine ... but not my car. In fact I was unable to open the driver's door. Everyone is fine and I got to go home and quilt for the rest of the day!

Relay -- part 2

Wow! The students did a great job with the Mini Relay. They raised $1600! Isn't that awesome!
