help! I'm going under! (just kidding)

help! I'm going under!

Forecast is for more snow, can you believe it?  We've had 20" and the forecast is for 5 to 8 more inches.  I got to get out today.  Mike and I went into town to take my sewing machine to be serviced.  I was hoping to drop it off and run some errands and then come and pick it up later.  Not happening!  The repair man was not in a good mood.  He came out of the back room grumbling (rather loudly) making comments about these 5 ladies who keep calling him wanting to know WHEN they were going to get to pick up their machines.  He set down at my machine and put a scrap of material in it to see how it was sewing.  Guess What,  It sewed perfectly for him.  I was so mad at that silly machine.  Well, the phone rang and he left to go answer it , so I set down and started sewing and the thread broke!   I told the lady that was helping me that I would come back next week (providing I'm not snowed in) and pick it up. 
We also went out to lunch.  I have to say I was ready to eat someone else's cooking.  Today it was Chinese.  Finally we went to the rec center and swam.  It was a good day. 

Oh wait!  what did I do with Mom while we were out galavanting around all day?  Well, it just so happens that I have a grand niece who was good enough to come over for the day and sit with mom.  Mike had to pick her up at the top of the hill because there is WAY to much snow on the drive way for any vehicle except a 4wheel drive.  Luckily her school was out today, so everything came together for a day away. 

sitting here this evening, every once in a while Mom will say, who was that young girl that was here with me today?  I tell her that it was Danny's grand daughter.   She says Oh, she sure was a sweet little thing.
