-21

That's what the news said when I got up this morning - negative twenty one degrees. No telling what the windchill was.

Fortunately, the Suburban started right up and I drove the kids to school.

Yes. School.

Seems it takes more than double-digit-sub-zero temps to delay and or cancel school.

So rather than wait outside for the bus - could be five minutes, could be seven, would be frostbite - I've been driving them this week.

Does that mean I'm raising my kids to be pansies?

Last night I received some unfortunate news. Nothing I'm prepared to share yet, if ever, but neverless shook me to my core.

I'm spending today digesting the news and working on my Dear Jane squares. Rather than a big, fast project that allows my mind to wander, I need small things that require my utmost attention.

I like the pie sale one a lot! The church window looks difficult, but you pull it off.
