I sincerely hope all of you are safe and secure in your "nests" tonight. We are getting ready for 6 to 8 hours of hard freezing rain. I would take the 2 feet of snow without question...that's happening about 100 northeast of Chardon. I hope we don't loose power....we are as ready as we can be...the fish will have the battery power back up heater and air tank..... Mia, Max, Ming and Lily will sleep through it all...it's that Tim and Carol I'm not so sure about. LOL!
It's been a month since I posted and we had some fun in January. I had mentioned last blog we were going to a Medieval Dinner....well that was fun!!! Tim and I won best dressed couple by the King and Queen. We won a nights stay at the Riders Inn (where the dinner was) and a bottle of mead "Honey Wine". I think we look really dorky in this picture. Tim looks like he swallowed a frog and I looked totally p.o'ed that he swallowed the darn frog. Good time had by all.

One of my favorite museums in Cleveland is the Western Reserve Historical Society. On January 22 "Somewhere in Time Party" took place to benefit the museum. When I received a letter asking for a donation to the !970's theme dinner auction. I knew I had to make a day of the dead doll....(slap me on the head I didn't take a picture of him). Anyway, he is like the "Peace" doll over at Faern-Laega Art Dolls . I was assured on Monday that he found a very good new home.
I have started Dixie Redmond's Izannah Walker doll workshop. I have never clay sculpted before and it is a real challenge. I will be learning patience....I have none by the way.

I would just like to take a second and remind everyone to keep batteries in your smoke detectors....really the detector will only do their job and save our lives if the batteries are in the detector. One early morning 3 weeks ago..our neighbor's house caught on fire and everyone made it out EXCEPT for the father...his 15 year old stepson tried to go back in for his step-dad who was in the basement....the fire was too far along. Check your batteries right now...please!!! And watch those candles and space heaters... we have an Edenpure and love it!
The wind is starting to pick up and the roof is creaking...so I better sign off. Take care and be safe everyone!
Until next time!
