I Like Thursday #192

It's a snowy Thursday here, and another chance to share on I Like Thursday which is hosted by Lee Anna of Not Afraid of Color.  Each week a group of bloggers share things they have seen that they like/love.  Th1is is my 192nd post. 

We have had a little snow, well up until yesterday, then the "snow event" started. It has snowed several inches, and according to the push notices on the phone will continue until 10pm Thursday night.

One morning it was very foggy and once the sun came up it was amazing, almost like everything was coated in powdered sugar.

The ice crystals were amazing clinging to everything.

My SIL gave my parents household COVID.  Luckily they are all immunized and boosted so it hasn't been terrible.  The fact that we are all pretty angry with my brother and his wife for being so cavalier about COVID and passing it around is a road I am just not going to go down that rabbit hole.  But the fact that everyone in the household had COVID, and even though I live thousands of miles away my mom asked me to pick up an anniversary card for a friend and mail it since she was told by her doctor to stay in and quarantine for 14-21 days due to her age.  I really wanted to get this card.

But I was trying to be mature and picked something else up instead.

I know I have mentioned (probably ad nauseam)  that I have been doing a lot of workouts, the problem is the different devices I use, trying to use a Kindle Fire, Ipad, or even an Iphone is not always easy getting them to sit at the right angles.  I purchased this easel and I love it!  I can put my Ipad, or Kindle Fire on it and adjust it perfectly so that I can do whatever workout I am doing.

I love the quilts and patterns by Jen Kingwell, and pre ordered her new book Quilt Recipes months ago.  It finally arrived!

There are a couple of quilts I really would love to make.  

I finished filing all of my patterns, I also printed out many that have been sitting on my old computer, and transferred them to an  external hard drive.

I read several books this week, what I actually picked up were some tried and true, which I discovered that I had never read.

A is for Alibi by Sue Grafton, the first of the Kinsey Milhone mysteries.  I am not too sure if I liked the character or not.  The story line was good.  

The next book I read was One for the Money by Janet Evanovich, the first in the Stephanie Plum series.  

I really enjoyed the book, and enjoyed the writing.  After this one I read the next in the series Two for the Dough, and then the next Three to Get Deadly.  Stephanie is a sassy Jersey girl, while not always the smartest cookie, sometimes dumb luck gets her far.  

Bleeding Heart Square by Andrew Taylor.  1934 London and Lydia Langstone has left her abusive husband and moved into Bleeding Heart Square with her father.  There are many dark mysteries that surround the house and square.
