It IS Christmas ! ! MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL

We have a BLIZZARD WARNING HERE IN MAINE

Yes we will get SNOW **WIND & cold= a BLIZZARD. Thankful I got my groceries yesterday.

Thursday we had a horrific accident of a log truck loaded with tree length logs. He drifted off the highway and onto our yard ***missed the trees and my lamp post just took down limbs. went across our driveway and into the yard next door and crashed into a big maple tree. I called 911 . My son ran out barefooted and was screaming to call 911 .As soon as rescue got here they said it was confirmed the driver was dead. 

We had yellow tape across our driveway and police and rescue in my yard. Last time I called 911 it was after finding my husband dead.So seeing those wonderful rescue people brought that awful March morning back to me.

Predicting 15-20 inches of snow! ! ! 

IT IS ALMOST CHRISTMAS. I made some Christmas stockings and have a fabric little tree up. No real Christmas Tree again this year. Too difficult to do, and I really miss my husband. We used to get a tree Dec. 15th and decorate it. 

Now I really don't feel like making the effort. 

MAINE HAS AN ICE STORM

There are 100,000 people without power. I am thankful I still have power and heat.

Now we have freezing rain. It is pretty but if the wind comes up more power could go out. 

Roads are ice covered and schools are closed. What a 24 hours we have had here in Maine.

It is COLDER today but we have bright sunshine. Oh, I also made  the table runner in the previous picture.

Today I am making Christmas stockings. Have a great weekend.

This is the quilt I made for my friend Beth. It is on display at her home in Michigan. The light background fabric had the 12 DAYS of Christmas.

It is a dreary day here very cloudy but so mild. I cannot believe mid 40's in December. I know we have some cold weather on the way.

My friend Beth posted a picture of a Christmas quilt I made for her and it is on my Facebook page. Join Facebook as my friend and you can view it.

I will be sewing this afternoon as soon as I have lunch.

Yesterday I had a meeting of the UMW that is the group of ladies at our church. We had a gift and cookie exchange . I will never forget the love and kindness they extended to me when my husband died so suddenly.

I had a wonderful Thanksgiving at my sisters home.

The holidays are a hard time for me . I really miss my husband as I think of all our holidays together.

I know this year I will be ok.
