~~ So, no photo today ~~

I think my brain is just too cold to try and figure out what I want to download here this morning - Tom came back before 10 a.m. from "work" = Nothing bad, 'cept that all the highways are nothing better than skating rinks right now - Seems that the Virginia Dept. of Transporation did NOT plow the interstates over the weekend..guess all the overtime for the workers would have caused too much strain on the states finances..

So when tom crept slllloooowwwwllly down Ocean Highway, thinking it'd get better once he got up into Va., well, he was way wrong. It was a mess, with ice, ice and more ice all over the roads..sidestreets were skating rinks, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't really get out of his own way once he tried to start up from a stoplight..he made it, but barely. His boss said phooey on the whole thing, and the 5 (!!) people that did show up, about ran over each other to get away from the truck terminal. Then it was fighting with the ice all over again on the way back down Ocean Highway.

Tom said that the problem wasn't any better on the interstate...the off ramps were great if you were into skiing down 'em at break neck speed..but not for safety and staying alive - No way would the truck company risk the chance that a truck would go out of control and do some horrible damage to far too many people. Why oh why nothing was done is so mind boggling, that I can't even begin to figure it out.

So I wont.

Instead I'll just say that I am now underway on transforming my Bus - I'd been racking my brain to find fabric that would be just right for the interior - the windows need something, but the more I looked, the more I couldn't decide what I wanted. Plus the COST ! ! ! Even with warehouse fabric, it'd be over $25 for 3 windows..an' then I still would need something for the floor...

So, yesterday since church was cancelled (ice so bad it isn't even funny) I started digging around in the bottom of my closet..an' lo and behold..found an old sheet that I'd bought at a thrift store, actually part of a set for $4.98 - AAHHHHHEEEEE!!!! - Holy Toledo! ~ Just the right color, an' once I measured out the length and width I need, the amount was just right!! ~~ AAHHEEEEE ~~ I honestly did a happy dance!! And to make it even more amazing...I found some ribbon and beads for the tie backs - all from old old stashes of stuff from years of finding bargains at the craft stores...AND I also found an old table runner that just fits on the table in the bus (!!) AND -

Can it get any better??!!

You BET!! ~~

I realized that I never did get rid of the old quilt we'd had on our bed in the city all those years..and it's the right color to coordinate with the fabric for the windows and table runner...

BE STILL MY HEART ~ !! ~

I don't know whether to jump up and down, or just sit and smile...

Think I'll just smile..actually, I'll smile and work on beading the ribbon I unburied, an' go from there..

Gotta run - noah just got me totally sidetracked by rattling his glass of soda at me...to make me get off the computer...an I don' remember what I was going to say..
