OK where is my sunshine this morning? It is lightly snowing and all they predicted was dense fog--well, no real threat out there and not enough for Larry to have to get the snowblower out the door and into the yard. And remember --I do love the snow. Actually I love winter.
Yesterday we made orange marmelade. Larry insisted on using a recipe without "pectin" and I am not sure it will ever set up. He knocked a jar onto the floor as they set on the counter waiting for seals to pop--he said he cleaned it up--yes with plastic dishpan--which he left for me to clean and there were spots all over the floor that I kept sticking to later. Yikes--guess I will have to mop the floor before I do any sewing today--but I love that new kitchen floor!
Yes, we put in a new floor in the kitchen here--it had old ugly wrinkled kitchen carpet in the kitchen here--it was awful. What a difference the laminate makes the kitchen look. UMMM we need to move onto remodelling the bathroom--way too much "pink" for even me who likes pink.
Talking about remodeling--were we? We did not do any of that to the house in Fairbanks which recently sold. We got a call that that the problems lie in the garage area mainly--one wall that is next to the house in the garage does not have dry wall on it--ok--and under the stairs downstairs--easy fix. And the door to the garage needs to be metal door--ok--small things! Everything else is acceptable--of course they are--we lived there for 28 years! Anyway, I think there is some agreement that they will be fixed after they move in--and we may close on that place this week. Wahoooooooo
In the mornings reading email and drinking coffee, I like to chat with a good friend on instant messaging. The mornings she is not here I feel a little lost. We have been doing this for years. We have a regular routine but since there is four hr time difference, we often miss each other. Ah, life!

We don't have any sunshine, but thank goodness it isn't snowing! It's actually somewhere around 70 for a high today. You may keep my share of winter - I may have given it to you before. =)
Glad there are no major things blocking the closing of your house!
I seriously doubt you are going to get marmalade, but you should enjoy the orange syrup on your pancakes. =)
Hi Fran! Love reading your blog! How did the marmalade turn out?
We've been having rain and snow past couple of days. Am waiting for Spring!
