All kinds of nasty reasons for it to be dead. Handle with care!

I have been working on more quilts. Everyone loved the Grinch quilt I made for me so there are going to be three more made so each of my kids' families will have one.
Also working on another Gnome quilt as granddaughter #2 wants one and I think it will be part of her high school graduation present this May.
Two random ones are also in the works.
Keeps me off the streets.

Just had to install Chrome to my new laptop specifically because Lumosity decided it doesn't like Firefox anymore.

I was going to go to Walmart tonight, but they just deposited a notice in my door that they're going to spray for bugs tomorrow. I'm a bit annoyed. 24 hours is not sufficient notice.

Lots of things to hide away, huh?

Surfing the net for a replacement molding for a piece of antique furniture I bought. I'd swear in court it was on the thing when I bought it, but it's gone and I can't find it. Gonna have to break down and either make it or replace the whole band.

Hah! I mentioned my search to the wife, and she said I should just paint that part to match. Never mind that it's a piece of wood.

It's funny. As a genuine antique built in the late 1800's, it should get some respect. As a purchase in 2024, it's getting little of that. I'm going to buy enough of a molding to replace what is there all the way around, about 6 feet thereof. Gonna be about $20, but I'll have to cut it to length and stain and finish it. It'll be sold for firewood after I'm dead.
