Quiet Week

Phil the Groundhog saw his shadow this morning, I guess that means 6 more weeks of winter. What a drag, I am so ready for spring. I am tired of being cooped up in the house, tired of the cold weather and wind.

Not much going on around here. We did have a little excitement/scare last night. Chris was in the garage and heard sirens. We don't hear sirens out here anymore and thought it was weird. We stepped out onto the front porch and heard more sirens and radio traffic. There were a couple cars parked with their lights facing towards us to the north of the house at the intersection. Then we heard someone yell "Get down and put your hands behind your head!!" I started freaking out and we hurried into the house and turned all the lights off. I was so scared that someone was going to run and run right towards our house. I don't know what was going on. They were there for about an hour and then all cleared out. I'm assuming maybe it was a chase off the highway that ended there. That happened one other time right after we moved in. The vehicle ended up crashing and they had to airlift the people out. We missed that one though. Maybe it will be in the paper tomorrow.

The last two weeks I have been making two baby rag quilts that I am donating to be auctioned off at the CAPS auction this Saturday, 10am at Kenwood Hall. The director for CAPS and I are on the same Truancy Board and she asked if I could donate something. I remember last years auction they had quilts and I knew the rag quilts didn't take long to put together, so I said I would make two. She said last year's quilts went for $300. I am excited to see what they go for this year. It's been really nice having Carolee on the same board. She is able to offer more assistance and help us steer families in the right direction to other services in order to help get these kids to school. It's a great organization and I am glad I could help raise some funds so they can continue helping kids and families in our community. They also have some neat stuff at the auction that I hope I can bid on.

The house has been ignored this week and is a total mess, I must get busy. Have a great week!!

Love, Amy
