Ready and waiting on me....

I still have not started my quilting, though I do have my machine ready....I think I am just going to have to start and see what develops. I wish for once I could decide how I want to quilt something before I start.
Before I start free motion quilting, I always do a test on a small quilt sandwich....luckily I still had this from before. I have to make sure that the tension is right and which size needle I want to use. So far, it really doesn't take much to get the Juki ready to quilt. I got it ready Thursday night....I had plans to just get up and start Friday. Instead I had a phone call from a friend that I had not talked to in several months. We talked at least two hours.
Did I say the snow started yesterday morn--but it was so wet and I suppose warm, that it didn't start sticking till later in the day. Roger was working in his shop, and I was looking at quilting on the computer....I finally made up my mind that maybe I just needed to get out. This is what our little town looked like as we left....
and this is what it was like out. This road...I bet I have driven up and down it about a million times....maybe not quite that many. But it is the road I took to work. I will be posting another picture from it on Time Stand Still....one that I like even better.

Lorelei was here Thursday. She is walking more and more...and just busy. Usually she will sit and play with her toys, but Thursday she was just from here to there. Every day it crosses my mind that I cannot believe she will be a year old Tuesday! Sarah is having her party next weekend. We are both wondering how she will react to so many people in her house....and we are both hoping she doesn't turn all shy.

Sarah said every time Lorelei hears her dad come in, she does her yell of "DA-da!!" She also said one of Jeremy's friends stopped by and Lorelei had him totally entertained. I guess she was laughing so hard at Diesel their cat...and you know how contagious her laughter is.
