Memories Forever, Paper Piecing




We are at Memories Forever


It is a nice place


This year we are not only scrapbooking but 3 sowing machines are zooming



It's a good time to visit


I am paper piecing, 
this Duck with ducklings was the hardest, so far



It sure looks cute though

A pair of Cardinals

 
The Cardinals come to the feeder regularly

 
The male is much more red

 
But the Female has some beautiful colouring too

 
Love the feathers on her head

Miserable Weather

 
The wind is blowing

Visibility is an issue
 
 
The shoes in the garage are getting white

 
Still lots of snow by the back door

 
and blown on the windows

The Cows on the new Mattresses

Cows are creatures of habit
this one is still on the older matts because this is "her spot"

 
But over all the cows seem happy

 
It is still cold

 
and the only flowers outside are on the windows

SHIP Gluttony










The church is decorated for Lent



Purple hanging from the balcony


 


just one problem today, the projector stopped working
so we're using the computer and a portable projector on a wall
with an angle surface



So Angie is moving text on the flat angle
a few hours work



Gluttony is not only about food but:
the soul's addiction to excess

in one word: MORE

The opposite is to be content like Paul in Philippians 4

New Mattresses for the Cows

 
 
The New Mattresses come in 3 layers
 
The middle layer is very soft
 
Rolling out the heavy top layer

 
Roll it over on the top

people were spread out evenly
but those in the middle had the hardest pull

 
Other side, clipping on vice grips

 
Nice when there are enough people to pull

Straighten out the waves

Taking out the old cow Mattresses

 
A big day today, we were surprised they showed up with this cold

 
Every time the door opens there is instant Fog

 
Cutting up the old mattress in pieces

and grinding off the old base boards


Remove the top layer, then the rubber filled tubes
 
 
Looking through a cleaned patch (removed ice) 
 
 
So the Skid Steer can come in again without having the door open to long

 
Even mid-day still -20C
what a cold day!

Indoor Walking



 
It doesn't really look like outside hiking is a good idea
 
So these days we are putting on our hiking shoes

 
and hike in Elmira on the indoor track

 
5 x around is 1 km

 
Coby walked 16 and Marg and I went 14x around 1/2 hour
it's good exercise and not on cement but on rubber

Our church Family

 
Owen was baptized

 
Marc's team was playing

Gary enjoying the songs

I took a picture from Jim too when he was playing loud
but it didn't turn out as good as this one

Congratulations!

Some young people in line

and a popular table for the older generation
