Happy New Year!

The new year has started. Yesterday our generator died. We use it to keep the water open for the horses and cows. We went looking for a new one yesterday and couldn't find what we are looking for. It seems there must have been a run on generators. Late last week several thousand people were without power in the area, so that maybe why there aren't many to choose from. DH wants electric start, so that way he doesn't have to go out with me in the wee morning hours to start the generator. I couldn't get our old one to start.

We both fell asleep last night before the new year started. I was trying to stay up, but lost the fight somewhere after 11pm. Oh well, not like anything exciting was going on at that time in the morning anyway.

I'm off to start on the mystery quilt from quiltville. I didn't get a chance yesterday because I did house chores and went shopping. I ended up buying some fabric at Wal-mart for the mystery. I didn't like alot of the fabrics I had, so I picked up a few more to mix in. The first two steps are posted and boy Bonnie didn't make it an easy one. lots of squares within squares, which means cutting lots of half square triangles. Ugh!

I hope everyone has a great 2009!!
