Take a look at my new glasses!

Amazingly it has already been 2 years since I last got glasses, so it is time once again. Some of you know how painstaking it is for me to choose which ones I want. (or how painstaking it is for me to choose anything I want for that matter, but that's another post) They never have the "perfect" pair. I finally found some sunglasses, but I am still on the hunt for regular glasses. The sun here in Denver is much more intense than in the northwest, so I needed my new sunglasses to be bigger than my old ones and yet still feminine. When I first put these on after purchasing them, I freaked out. They are much larger than I'm used to and I felt that my entire head was a giant pair of sunglasses. In the last few days however they have grown on me and I don't regret buying them. I still have 27 days left to change my mind tho.

These are my old glasses and the sun here just comes in over the top of them and blinds me. Please ignore the messy house in the background:)

Updates and Ramblings

I finally finished hand quilting my Olympia border quilt! I need to finish the binding and a few applique's I'm adding to the top. I'll try to post a picture when it's all done.

Sis Trista has been coming over for more than a week now to quilt on her quilt. We have had some very good and uplifting visits. It has also created a deeper friendship. I have enjoyed her.

We had a baptizing and ordinance supper on Sunday. It was so refreshing. It had been about 10 years since we had sat in an ordinance supper here.

A blizzard is supposed to be here now, but the 40 degree temps have kept it at bay. It has been raining steady for almost 24 hours. That is very unusual weather for Denver.

My fridge went out yesterday. Bro Justin N. is coming to fix it this afternoon. The colder temps have been nice for keeping the food cold outside in a covered laundry basket. Animals didn't bother it all night and today until I started writing this post and a chipmunk got into our corn tortillas.

Dale has been working some overtime. It's nice sometimes to have the money, but I wish he didn't have to work Saturdays. He had to start work at 5 am this morning!

I am looking forward to reading Laurie's blog. I needed our talk today. Thanks for the advice. Sorry I stole time on Skye's last day there.

Less than 2 months till we go to Oregon. Yippee!!
