Happy Birthday Roger!

Mother reports feeling very ill. We spoke on the phone - she was not totally coherent. She's up and dressed and has been attended to. I'm sure she'll be fine. Aunt Ruth is home from the hospital.

I'm working on the quilt. I'm at the point of stitching the long lines along the squares in the "quilt sandwich". It's a lot of fabric to work with. I'm working in Dylan's playroom, which is always a little chilly in the wintertime, but the quilt keeps me warm because a lot of it is on my lap while I'm sewing. I have finished the "north/south" lines on half of the quilt, and I'm almost finished with the "east/west" lines on the same half. So far I have gone through two machine needles, but I went on a search and found about a dozen more, so I have plenty of back-ups.

Dick was super busy today. He worked at the Agency for hours and hours. Came home and ran the snow blower for a couple of hours more. Then Tom B. came over to discuss the Boardman River dam closings. Tom is interested in having us attend the dam meetings, since we are riparian property owners. It's an issue we're all concerned about.

We introduced Tom to Bessie, and I showed him my Kanitz Family Tree Book since he was my inspiration!
