Fun Times
It has been a very busy week. Starting with a rug hooking retreat at Rothesay, NB at the Villa Madonna. Great group of gals from all over, organized by the New Brunswick Rug Hooking Guild. The fishing shacks on the river just below our Villa was in full force fishing mode. Lots of shacks and a few of the ladies went to visit. Photo above (L-R) are Margie Anderson, Susan Sheppard, Pauline Verstraten and Lynne Lines.
I finished up this lovely pattern by Encompassing Designs called Lesley at the retreat.

My progress on my Encompassing Designs pattern, called Lesley below. So much fun to do.
Enjoy The Weather You are Dealt With

The above photo was taken by my friend Lisa who lives at the top of the Cabot Trail. She belongs to a snowmobile club there and this photo she snapped yesterday at the top of the Highlands. What a view. Enjoy the weather you are dealt with. Perfect for snow shoeing, skating, snowmobiling, a drive enjoying the view, if we...
The Deep Freeze
The above sunrise was yesterday, it was so pretty I had to take a photo. The saying is 'red sky in the morning, sailors take warning'. Today we started with freezing rain. We are expected to be plunged into very cold weather this week. It was bound to happen right? Speaking of the cold, do you have an over stuffed deep freeze in your home? I do! I said before Christmas to Charlie, after 'Christmas, we are eating out of our pantries and freezer', only purchasing fruit, veggies and milk! So...
