-----Not with a bang, but a whimper

So much for "Serious snowfall".  They had predicted 5-10 cm, with wind, during the afternoon and evening on Monday.  Got up this morning and there is a dusting on the ground and roofs.  But it is colder, hovering between -5 and +5, night and day, with more of the same predicted for the next few days.

Beth, I hope you enjoy every minutes of your bus trip.  Don't let anything interfere with your going, and $100 sounds about right.  Buffets are usually good.  I remember the absolutely wonderful Seafood buffet we had at Sand Hills, including lobster tails, and the people on the bus enjoyed it as well. I also remember when we used to take the Red Eye to Warroad, where we enjoyed either a bowl of soup Or a ham sandwich, and a single serving bag of chips. But the soup was often a home made turkey and wild rice, and was to die for.  David was interested in where you're going, and we had to try "Googling" the place.  Not much info on location, but I finally got a route map between Sundridge and Barrie, that gave us a good idea.

Be sure to tell us about your luncheon, as well.

We decided to accept the quote we got yesterday.  It was almost $1000.00 cheaper than the previous one, although they are both reputable companies, who were able to provide references.  The one we accepted said that we had a serious problem, and he would try to prioritize us in terms of date.  We may have a new roof by the end of next week.  This one also gave us a choice of shingle manufacturers and colour.

A bit of laundry today, and more preliminary cutting of fabric for charity quilts.  David was having trouble with the long ruler, so we went out yesterday and bought some thin silicone (?) wafers to stick on the back of it.  I tried it out and that sucker doesn't move now!  I also bought myself four 1/4 m pieces of fabric.  Just enough to provide some value changes in the very many pieces we're in the process of cutting. By the time we finish, I expect we'll have enough pieces cut for 4-5 charity quilts, and will  have gotten a lot of fabric out of the basement storage.  Of course, then, I'll have to actually make them, but I can take my time with that.

Everyone have a good day.  Keep warm, and think of the family, over a cup of tea, at some point.
