RJ spent most of the day fixing a leak in the bathroom. It really turned into a project. Fortunately, the bathrooms are all good. Everything is working including the fireplaces. Yeah!!! So now he is into repairs. The faucet had an annoying drip, which he thought needed to be fixed while we are not so busy.

     I’ve been taking advantage of this time to finish editing my book, clean the “little” house, and work on my press releases and newsletter. That should keep me busy for a few days, especially since the temperature has dropped to 13 degrees from 29 within a few hours this evening.  I have the wood burning stove on and the “little” house is nice and toasty. Fortunately, RJ was outside this afternoon chopping wood so we are set for the next few days. That should get us through this cold snap.

     I was at a Rotary meeting this evening, a joint meeting, with the Rochester Rotary for the Deaf. Very interesting! We had a lovely dinner and talked about the upcoming Groundhog Dinner fundraiser on February 2.  We usually work at that fundraiser and I bake pies.

     On an aside, I’ve been reading the book Let the Right One In by John Ajvide Lindqvist, a Swedish writer. It is just wonderful! An absolutely unsettling story about vampires and very well done.  My son M gave it to me for Christmas. The movie, Best Narrative Feature Founders Award at the Tribeca Film Festival, was recently released. M saw the film and raved about it, so he bought me the book. I wish would have had time to see the movie while we were in L.A., but there just so much time.

     I did manage to finish my caplet today.  Even though I ran out of the original yarn, I unraveled the fringe and crocheted it again with a deep brown natural wool. Then I trimmed the collar with the same yarn and crocheted a rosette for the neck. I was so happy with the way it turned out. I’ve already made 2 of them and given them away, of course. I think I’m going to knit another one and put it in the shop. Never know.  Maybe I’ll knit a couple. They are fashionable and beautiful.  I’ll have to remember to take a picture of it.

     Till later…
