Last night I went to my grandson’s seventh grade class 3A state championship basketball game. It was a pretty neat to see their efforts payoff with a win. Today I got the stitches taken out of my hand, hoped to schedule my other hand but my dr and his right hand nurse weren’t in the office so I’ll have sweetheart call her Monday. Stopped at TSC on the way home and they were out of the off brand jacket I wanted, I might have waited to long, but on the bright side their chicks are to be in the 20th of this month. I better get things ready …….

I slept soundly and woke to the alarm at six this morning. Mom called and said she was keeping kiddo home and I met them at the doctor's office. Thankfully it's just a bad cold this time but I was a bit concerned to see blisters on my little sidekick's nose as hand, foot and mouth has been going through the schools. Hubby was to be discharged so mother-in-law and I head to the hospital only to discover there's been a new development and now a pacemaker will be implanted Monday and he will remain in hospital until then. Lots of details but am too tired to type it all out. Going to snuggle up with kiddo and go to sleep.

Started my morning with my rebounder, mini trampoline workout. It is such an amazingly good work out (and I have done many different kinds over the years) Then I shoveled snow x3 -here at home, at the house in town, and for a friend who needs help. Fortunately it was a very light fluffy snow and only about an inch.

Decided I was going to tackle some of hubby's work mess today and kiddo was a pretty good helper. Two bags of garbage and just about everything organized and not sitting in piles. I know he'll want to start working as soon as he can and hopefully I made it a little easier. Mom and my aunt went to visit him today and I'm so happy as I felt a little guilty about staying home today but I needed some kiddo time. I'm on a list for a room tomorrow evening at a family house beside the hospital and hoping to go back tomorrow afternoon. Kiddo and I need to do valentines tomorrow as I'm afraid I'm not going to make it back for her party Tuesday but mom promised to go which will be great. Geraniums and dandelions seemed to have doubled in size overnight and if I have time, the onions are ready for their first haircut.

Yesterday was a beautiful Spring-like day, almost. Upper 40's! Walked 2.5 miles, I was getting weak in the knees, realized I forgot to eat lunch! Sometimes that happens when I am engrossed in a project. Working on the scrappy bag, figured out how to place all the triangles, they are no where all the same exact size since they were discards. As the pile of them grew with quilt construction, the thought struck me it would be a shame to toss them! I did what I could, with some left over. I've got the front and back done, so the hard work is over.
Nothing showing any signs of Spring outside, the garden is still covered with snow.

Yesterday was another basketball filled day. The 7th grade grandson also plays on the 8th grade team and they were playing in the 3A state playoffs.Sweetheart ran some errands in the morning and picked up mom to join us. Elite 8 game at 2:30, which they won, followed by a final four game at 6:30 which they lost. Between games we probably had 60 fans invade a small local pizza eatery and I must say they did a heck of a job in serving everyone! Instantly they had more help and their service, attitude and product was top shelf. In this day and age it was quite refreshing to see.

I put the lettuce seedlings outside for some hardening and moisture from the sky, which they prefer over moisture from the ground.
If I get motivated I might start some of the lettuce gianna made me buy.

Spring like again today. The Princess was restless, wanting out and back in continually. I think she knows Spring is coming! We went for 2.6 mile walk, the route that takes us up and down hills.
Got the bag done, pic over in quilting thread. Got the binding done and sewn on the quilt, now to hand sew it all down on the back. This week it's major house cleaning!

Yesterday started out with sweetheart and I fulfilling a promise to our grandson and granddaughter to take them out for breakfast. Sweetheart also coaxed one of my nephews to join us. I was quite surprised that after cleaning up their first plates the grandkids asked if they could split a Belgian waffle which they cleaned up also. 😂 Returning home sweetheart went in to house cleaning mode and I seasoned up a couple of racks of ribs to smoke and take to the stepson’s to watch the Super Bowl. Besides the ribs we feasted on chips and dips, ham and cheese sliders and a cast iron pan chocolate cookie with ice cream. Needless to say with football season over it’s time to get back to watching what we eat!! It was a very good day…..

Nice day! Headed out for walk at 12:30 in Winter coat. 2 blocks later I came home and ditched the coat. Went in just flannel shirt and sweatpants. Perfect. We went 2.55 miles, The Princess started panting 5 blocks from home so we headed home.
Got busy and thoroughly cleaned the second level, moved what furniture I could and vacuumed, plus the baseboard. Dusted all the lights as best I could reach, and the ceiling fan. Tomorrow it's the main floor.
Started sewing down the binding on the quilt, hoping to get it done today.

Did some clean up in the garden. Cut down the JoePye Weed seed heads that I left up in the fall. Daffodils are coming up thru the leaves. Took down more of the outside Christmas lights that I could reach without the big ladder. These were just around the garage doors. Still need to get the ones that go up the peek of the house. Ran out to Dollar General to get Valentines for the grandkids.
Mail came and my Paprika seeds from Bakers Creek came.

Raphanus, wash off the traps before you set them next and wear disposable gloves…they can smell you on the traps..
Flew home last night from Fla visiting eldest sister..pending dx (lung ca). Met her dr. Third consult. She’s on her own down there, except for her son, so I’ll prob will go back if they decide she needs treatment. She walks 3-6miles a day and has no symptoms. It was so good to see her and visit.
