We are having an Easter weekend snowstorm today. It isn't quite the weekend yet, but it's going to storm all through it, according to our local weather report.

I am going to finish a wildlife quilt for my 3 year old grandson today, hopefully. Also there is a sale at our local Kings store and I'm going to go and pick up pretty dishtowels for .99 apiece for neighbor gifts. I'm giving them with knitted dishcloths and a "Hillbilly washer and dryer" poem along with them. I give about 30 neighbor gifts every year, so it's important to get them on sale.

I've been thinking of my five grandkids and what to do for them this Christmas. I have plenty of time to work on it, and I have a tradition of giving each of them something handmade from Grandma. I have done hooded bath towels and crocheted afghans for nap time in the past. I have made each grand-daughter a Raggedy Ann doll and the each child some knitted mittens. I'm still thinking for 2008.

304 days until Christmas, and I'm back and ready to go! I had a few health issues pop up during January, and I've been away for awhile, but now I'm back, and I'm ready to get in gear with my Christmas preparations!

Today, we are having a very stormy afternoon. All during last night, the wind blew and rain drops pelted against our bedroom windows. I love it!
