Too Soon !!

I feel like I am preparing Christmas Dinner instead of Thanksgiving !! We've at least 4 inches of snow on our deck and it is still coming down. Roads are wet, but the bridge decks are slick. Thankfully we are all in town and don't have to worry about travelling.[ But I should have dug my parsnips up on Thursday night :( ]
 
My ED is in Palm Springs where it is going to hit 36*C today !! Hopefully by the time she comes home the snow will have disappeared. She made such good friends when she travelled in Europe and ended up stranded in Budapest because of the volcano in Iceland. They still travel to events/ countries together.

YGS is spending two nights with his other grandparents. Last night they phoned ES to have him speak to YGS as he wouldn't eat the pizza he had asked for. This is so symptomatic of their relationship. They do not discipline him [ didn't discipline their daughter either] Part of that is that they want him to like them ! ES is going to speak to them about this. He is such a good boy because our family does discipline when warranted. As I said, as a mother and grandmother, I do not care whether I am liked or not. That's not my role/ job. I'm here to teach, guide and love. It won't be a surprise if he returns home tonight !  He's old enough and smart enough to ' play' them if they do not nip this in the bud !

Well, well. Isn't the American Election the biggest soap opera ?  IF anyone had written a book with all these scandals, no one would have bought it. It would have been 'too far fetched hed' Well folks, this is real life. This is the American sense of entitlement. This is the Evangalistic Christian outlook on life. Where are all these ' Christians'  decrying the debasement of women ? Where are these good men defending their mothers, wives, and daughters against this sexist, vulgar sexual predator ?  Where are these men declaring that they do not want their sons to treat women as DT does ?

Oh so now Pece is distancing himself ? When he previously has denied things DT has said  ? Which were on video, in print etc. He and the surrogates have lost all credibility. Pence's political career should be OVER. Forever !

 I finished all 28 blocks now I have to start cutting and basting the pink hexie fillers. In the meantime I have knit one stocking and halfway through another. I delivered the six I did for a colleague who was very pleased with them, very pleased. One of the EA's came over and asked where I found the pattern. Never seen her move so quickly ! I said it was MY pattern !!  Now if she wanted to, she could google it. Or she could buy one and figure it out as I have done with other patterns. No way am I giving 'my' pattern away !

GD is coming over for the afternoon so I got out some glitter pens for her to play with. I've got one pair of pants to mend and on Monday I'll tackle the jewelry mending. Today I'll finish the floors, knit , read and relax !
