‘’The Christmas tree fire at FOX News was a serious incident. Obviously it’s incredibly scary to feel your workplace is under attack. Unless your workplace is the Capitol. Then, according to Fox hosts, it’s not such a big deal. ‘’

Saturday morning (12/11) Michael left for golf around 9 AM, and Janice and I got a label done for her quilt:
while I continued to work on a new range pouch for Michael:
Janice left around 1 PM (insert sad face here) and I packed up supplies and headed over to Paula’s. She was wonderful to offer up her kitchen so that I could make cracker toffee…I was there for over 2 hours and came home with 3 trays that went in the fridge. I was kinda pooped after that and read my library book until after dinner, when I headed downstairs to work a bit more on Michael’s golf pouch.

No Time to Die , Daniel Craig's last bond movie is an absolutely amazing tribute to his portrayal of Bond, James Bond. Even at over two hours the time flies by. Funny moments, action moments , serious moments all work beautifully. My one critical remark goes to the writers lack of screen time for Rami Malek who plays the villain in the movie. He deserved better. All in all a fitting ending, don’t miss it. I give it 4 fat quarters out of 5.

We were late, late, late getting up Sunday morning (12/12)…it was terrific! Michael cooked us both smurfy breakfasts, then I got busy with the cracker toffee:
breaking it up and bagging it. I’ve decided not to go to Paula’s this afternoon to do my caramel corn (again…she graciously offered her kitchen for the afternoon), I just have too much else to do…and I decided it will be a good test for my new range which is supposed to be delivered this coming Friday.
After getting everything bagged up, I headed to my computer to pay for boxes, print labels and set shipping dates for my candy boxes (as you know, I send out 3 boxes with an assorment of my candy making, to various people). That took me about an hour, mostly because it’s the first time I did it, and when I was done, I went back to working on Michael’s pouch. By 4 PM I was finished….his old pouch looked like this (I can't believe what the sun does to things down here):
and now his new one looks like this:
I have to admit, I'm pretty proud of creating/developing this range finder pouch that hangs on his belt...and I have refined my directions each time I've made it, so they are pretty good by now!
CALL THE MID-WIFE = I have my DVR set on new AND reruns….so I picked up an old Christmas special the other night. The 2021 Christmas special is set to air on Christmas Day night, and an older Christmas special is set to air on December 26th.

Red Notice, on Netflix now! Dwayne Johnson (who is everywhere), Gal Godot, and Ryan Reynolds, team up, sort of, in this buddy movie. It involves art thefts all over the world and you’ll have a great time figuring out who is double crossing who until the very end! You won’t know the good guys from the bad without a program, and there is no program. Suspend your disbelief as to how these three can jaunt all over world so fast and enjoy the ride. Action and comedy reign supreme! I give it 4 fat quarters out of 5.
Another one of my Quilts of Valor was given out. This is Will and he was in the Marines in Vietnam:
