Well, that was an interesting month. Most of the month I was kind of battling with a cold. It is finally letting me go from it's grasp of coughing and sniffling and blowing the nose. I hope this next month will be a healthier one. I hope everyone else is not having to deal with this cold or even flu. February for me was an uneventful one in other areas of my life. It can be good but then it can be very boring.  Work is a little busier then I like. There are hints that it is only going to be busier. I'm not looking forward to over time. I would say where I work but I won't. I will say it is a cheesy one. There is one customer that is wanting a lot from us and our company has, in my opinion, has over committed us for the workers we have. They try to hire more people through temp agencies but most of them never stick around very long.  I just hope someone in charge soon really sees the problem and solves it so the workers have more to their lives then work and very...

It's almost hard to believe that two months have gone by. I don't know if it feels like time is going faster because I'm getting older or it things are just happening that much faster. The last month for me personally was just the same old same old. But I did learn a classmate of mine passed away. We were never friends. In fact, he was one of the first ones that made my school days very miserable. Looking back on way things turned out the way they did, I kind of wish things had been different between us. He had always been on my mind when he shouldn't have been. I think that if things had been different we could have been friends and the future would have been different for both of us. But dumb me missed a last chance to see him at our last class reunion back in 2015. Now I will forever live with that regret. If I could send  him a message now I would say: Peter Keuer: To the boy I knew,  and to the man I wish I had known, you will forever be in my...

It's the first of the month again and time to show you the picture of the swing from this year. And here is the picture from last year. We did have more snow last year compared to this year. It's still cold  like it was last year. So I guess you can say march came in like a lion this year because we were getting snow flurries this morning. Not like they have been having south and east of here. Which I'm glad. In February it did not get above freezing the whole month. No thirties. Some twenties and more below zero temps then I like to see.  Two years in a row with the snow still covered with snow at this time of year is kind of depressing. I have plans once again of things I want to get done outside. I just hope I can and that the weather will be better then it was last year.   Enough of that, I did manage to get two more projects done. Here they are. Something that can be hung on a door. Maybe for the Forth Of July or if you are very patriotic,...

I know it's been awhile since I wrote last. It's a little later in the day then I like to post but, I was having trouble getting on to the internet. I blame it all on too much snow. Here's proof. If you look back you will see the picture I took the first of February. Last time I took the picture the snow was knee deep. This time it was up to my butt. Enough snow already. I keep hearing from people that we are suppose to get another 30 to 60 inches of snow this month. If that's the case April's picture of this swing will show it completely buried. It just could be chest high. I hope the Farmers Almanac is very wrong.  I did complete two more projects. They were not from the book.   This is still another coaster set but it was from another book. Someone requested it so I made it. This is just a little magnet. I made it and gave it to a woman at work for her father. It's his favorite holiday. So I will have to wait until after St. Patrick...
