P365 Feb 15-21

February may be the shortest month on the calendar, but it really is the longest. There just isn't much to break it up, and it is just cold.

On Monday (2-15) I worked on the quilt, getting the first stage of making Flying geese. These are 2 squares 9 & 7 1/2 inches layered, pressed, and then a diagonal line drawn on them. (I then sew down both sides of the line, cut, re-layer, re-sew, cut again--lots of steps, but out of 2 squares, I can make 4 flying geese blocks) My mp3 player is in the picture because I was listening to the audio book 'Great Expectations' while working.

Tuesday brought exciting news as Alisha got her acceptance letter to BYU-Provo! She starts summer term, so she will be going out 3 weeks after graduation.

Wednesday, I started my absolutely final GE class. Advanced Writing (Eng. 315-Writing in the Social Sciences). YAY!!

Thursday night was our Blue & Gold event for Cub Scouts. We had a Happy Birthday BSA party since the Boy Scouts turned 100 years old this year. Our gifts were items for the food shelf that we brought.

Friday night I had a candle party (Party Lite). As per course of my life, not many people showed up, (and I forgot to take a picture at the acutal party) but this is a picture of the leftover Brownies that I made for the party. The bottom ones were peanut butter swirl, and the top ones were Heath bar Brownies. (there is still time to order online if you want--it will even be shipped directly to your house!!) :-)

Saturday some friends organized a tubing party. Sarah and Daniel are the only ones I got to come with me. We had a ball! The weather was great! This was not the tubing of my childhood..this was organized with a ride to the top of the hill, and groomed trails of different thrill levels. It was really a lot of fun. This was the first time I had been tubing since I was a teenager. Really...I have not been one for winter outdoor activities, but I repent. :-)

Today we had potluck after church. It sure is hard to sit through Sacrament meeting when really good smells are wafting through the building, but the knowledge that you can eat right after instead of waiting to drive home makes it worth it!


Have a great week!
