Wow! It’s really cold outside today.  In the twenties below zero windchill. Just heard that it got up to 8 degrees today.

At the hospital I stepped into the elevator with a couple also dressed in Minnesota Chic. We chuckled at our relief to be inside, still dressed in our bulky outdoor wear.

And, I asked the question, “Why is it we live here, again?”

And the husband replied, ” The people,”

And I thought, you know, he’s right!  I don’t care what anybody says about passive aggressive, cold and non demonstrative Minnesotans—–and Garrison Keillor, I’m talking to you here—-there’s a kindness in this state that I love.  Look for it; you’ll see it. And if you can’t see it, BE IT!

I am so excited about a class that I have signed up for!  It’s a beginning quilting class offered at Quilted Treasures in Rogers.  I have been wanting to take the seven week class for years now, but schedules, surgeries, and  chemo got in the way.  But now, I am signed up and nervous as heck.

Why am I nervous?  I have got to finish my outstanding projects before January 5th.

Stop laughing, all you who know me.

I am going upstairs right now to work on some.

Or, I might take a nap.

Stay warm,

Janet
