Frozen greetings!
What a busy winter! With all of the year end stuff for Ted’s business to get through ( and I am glad it is done!) and just trying to keep warm it has been fairly busy. We had to have the furnace fixed, something went wrong in the circuit board. But until we could afford that we heated the house with the kitchen stove and some other methods. The boys had a propane heater for the basement. That worked really well. We shut off all of the bedrooms and other rooms that we were not using upstairs. This was not a real problem since I keep them shut off anyway, I like a cold bedroom. I used oil lamps and candles to take the chill off in the living room. You would be surprised at how much heat they generate.
While we were trying to keep warm I also knitted a sweater( I covered up with it while knitting to keep warm hehe!) I finished it last week and started another one. It may take the rest of the winter to finish.
We are getting ready for another blast of snow and wind here. The current temp is 9F. It is supposed to get up to about 20F today, dump 6″ of snow, go back to single digits and the wind blow at about 20-30 mph for a few days. Brrr.
While all of that is happening I think that I am going to be updating my house book, I have been wanting to for some time since the cover is coming off of the current one. There are some updates that I want to incorporate into the new one also, like an evacuation plan and some other things. I will post how I am making my new book as I do it. It will have several sections and I may make a small one for my emergency kit to update it too.
