Little Wood Shop on the Prairie

This is our winter project. The farmer tells people that he is building a shop to do woodworking. I tell people he is building me a quilt studio. Of course, it will be a wood shop. I have already taken over the bedroom and the dining room and occasionally the living room as well. Long winters require creative outlets. I offered the long arm quilting option to him, but he turned me down.

This flu season started early and has been busy. Mike is better, and the high school no longer has 30 out for illness. I am not sick yet...I wash my hands frequently. Night clinic is busy, and runs over the two hours scheduled, making it frustrating for those who hoped to go home at 8pm. It goes until all the patients are seen. It is interesting how different people view the purpose of night clinic. It was meant to take care of urgent illness so the ER wasn't so busy later. It has become a convenience clinic so people wait until after work to be seen. One doctor said, "The dentist doesn't see me at night. I have to make an appointment." Everyone is tired.

The weekend is here! Love, Marmee
