So glad that you got home safe and yikes that you had to walk.

Had a terrible storm here this afternoon about 4pm and I was caught in it on my way to Marty's house. I swear the winds were 80 mph and I had to dodge downed power lines and things flying in the air to get to her house! I kept praying the whole drive! The whole town lost electicity and mine just came on and cable was out also. I am back up and running now since 2:45 am meaning things were out here at my apt building since 4pm last night.It was a VERY long walk in the dark to my apartment I can tell you! Marty got her electric back at 7:15pm! You would think that they would get electric back to the elderly and disabled first! Oh well. Main thing is that I am safe and back online!

I actually did write a cookbook. Meatleass Meals for Lent Made Easy. Not very exciting ...

I must admit, I like most of the people who participate in the swaps here on the board are looking for unique gifts for the swaps. Well, I have to say that the one where Onalee sent her pal a tiny jar full of genuine Idaho dust is very cute and unusual. Wish I would have thought of it. I may just have to steal that idea for the next swap. Just wait until winter and maybe I can figure out how to send snow from here.LOL

I have my SP pkg ready for mailing, but no room on the scooter to bring all in. It was one of those mornings where we had to move fast. DH needed the car to go rescue son's truck, I jumped on the scooter with little compartment for hauling. Will mail it tomorrow. Got my SP pkg Saturday, it was GREAT!! Pictures and sender tomorrow, as well. Tomorrow WILL be better!!!! I am loving the pictures, everyone is getting/giving such wonderful surprises!! I so enjoy the swap. Wasn't able to get on to read and post, the board was working really funky all weekend. That or my phone. Took FOREVER to load a page. Regular computer was doing that on Friday, but not as bad as the phone. Not complaining, just stating. LOL I was way behind in reading. Couple of times, thought "I'll comment on that", but by the time I got done reading (between working, what a pain) I cannot remember all the stuff I was going to comment on. Sooooooo..... Good wishes to everyone on the board. Take care, and keep up the good work on all the sewing, etc. This is so much fun, and I love all the people I am getting to know on the board. You raise my spirits every time!
