Civil War Chronicles Kit

The 2nd in a series of 5 Anniversary of the Civil War. Put the patterns in clear paper covers and added them to the binder with Civil War Tribute the 1st in the series




Just finished snow blowing the driveway and shoveled off the stairs Sadie is a pain in the neck as when you are pushing the scoop she grabs the side and it steers off.
Had Excel class yesterday and we are covering formulas and I don't seem to get it, class again tomorrow and Friday then test on Mon.

Hair cut

Went for a hair cut this morning my stylist told me the last time I was there was in May :o
well she did cut it kind of short then. No sewing, snow blew the driveway this morning after Randy fixed it the float was stuck that's why I couldn't start it yesterday.
My CW Chronicles kit should be here this coming week thought it was going to be here last. I got the Microsoft Office 2007 Home and Student off ebay last night so it should be here next week also, my laptop came with the trial and it expires in Jan.
Shawn and Deanne aren't coming for Christmas now as his ship is on standby and there has to be a % of men available and there are guys that have not been home in ages and their families are on the east coast, Shawn was home last yr.
