ALMOST TIME FOR CHOCOLATE---

 Chocolate bunnies and bright colored 'peeps' and jelly beans!!  Just one week away--if you are waiting for the Easter bunny--and if not--you can start now to enjoy them--you have my permission--to eat all the chocolate bunnies you want this week!!!

So let's see--what did life allow me to get finished this week--

Got the bunny ABC sampler from Melisa finished and on display--

So now '3' are done and I can say I have a collection--I have started a 4th one--and it has a story--so stayed tune for further updates!!!

I got this month's 2 wool Christmas ornaments finished--

and yes the wool is 2 different colors!!  These are fun to make each month--

And I got this quilt totally finished and ready for hanging--Happy Dance!!!

I chose to use the same fabric for the binding--nothing else seemed to work--

Here is the next step done on my Library books top--

I embroidered titles on some of the books--had to do the words on the fabrics that were more on a solid color--other wise the word did not show up--This looks so much better in real life----not it is ready to layer and baste--

And now I am working on this little piece--

I still have more hand quilting to do on this one--!!

Thursday morning I went on the bus and stopped at the Library first and picked up 2 books--it was perfect weather to sit at the bus stop and wait for the next bus to take me on to Publix--(you see--I went cause I was nearly out of the--you--know--chocolate we talked about in the beginning of this!!!)

And I finally figured out how to get my photos from my phone to the computer--so here is the couple photos I talked about a  couple weeks ago-from outside the Library--

And last night I got so excited when I realized that the time change now allows me to enjoy these scenes out my window--

I love watching these big fluffy clouds form over this next building--I glance up every so often to watch them--and I realized how much I had missed doing that these past few months--

******************

A good update first--my daughter is fine--no cancer--so happy dance here--

***********

HUD did raise our lunch price to $7 a day from $5 a day--BUT--they did not agree to the other increases that Poah wanted--so good for them--now here is hoping maybe the food service company will at least get a share of the $7 to feed us better meals--though none of us are really hopeful at this point!!!

***********IF YOU ARE A SPECTRUM CUSTOMER YOU NEED TO READ THIS--

Another Drama has been going on here for the last 4 days--with my Internet/cable service--Spectrum!! I was getting the $30 taken off my spectrum bill since Covid from some government program that did not get renewed--so Spectrum sent us an Email with a phone no. and I called it--One of the changes they wanted to do was change my DVR box to one called Xumo--for only $5 a month--(I had been paying about $30 a month) I said--sounds good as long as I can record and 'buzz' though the commercials--not a problem they said--we did a couple other changes and a service tech was sent that afternoon to install the new box---WELL--folks I had '3' different techs here and many calls to the office in the last 3 days--finally yesterday--tech #3 did find the problem for me recording shows--it was a glitch in the office-- not the Xumo box--they got that fixed--so we decided everything was up and running good and he left--only later--when I went to watch a recorded show--there was NO fast forward or pause button--so I called again this morning and guess what--Spectrum does not have that part of the recorder set up yet--that is in the future--Plus if your movie or, like me with the races, if it runs more that 2 hours it will stop recording----

I ask you WHY and What is going on here--the sales guyI talked to  knew I needed to fast forward through the commercials ect--we talked about it at length--the techs who came here also knew that fact as we talked about it--SO--I am going to have to go back to a regular DVR player--but now hear this--I have to go to a Spectrum store and pick one up--then I can make a tech appt to install it--the tech's are no longer carrying the DVR's on the trucks--!!!!!

I have added up the total hours in the last 4 days of being tied up with Spectrum either on the phone or with a tech here and it's well over 7 hours--7 hours I could of been quilting or sewing!!! Grrrr!!!!!!

So be careful if they want to install a Xumo box  at your home--ask lots and lots of questions--and make sure they know the correct answers--maybe in 6 months this will be a good thing--but not yet!!

OK--TIME FOR SOME MORE CHOCOLATE--AND TO TRY TO PLAN OUT MY WEEKS WORTH OF SEWING--I AM BEHIND--SO GO GRAB SOME CHOCOLATE TOO--

THANKS FOR ALL THE LISTENING TO ALL MY MINOR ISSUES OF LIFE--I TRULY APPREICATE EACH AND EVERY ONE WHO READ MY RAMBLING ONS-

HUGS, DIANE
