And I remember so well that day the music died. I was 14, and loved the song, Oh Donna.

Sounds strange, but.... getting the snow blower to start late yesterday afternoon. Worked fine in the morning, then wouldn't start when we needed it again in the afternoon. We finally figured it out and that was a definite highlight!

Everytime I flipped on a light switch, the lights actually CAME ON! And the shower was HOT. Aaaaah.

Yep, it's true, having power is a thrill. Oh, and Woody went fishing and caught a really big large-mouth bass, so that was his highlight of the day.

One of my Yaya friends came into town and we did some shopping and had lunch together.

Played golf on the Ocean Course at Half Moon Bay. Absolutely gorgeous weather. Spectacular views. Played with good friends.

Talking with my daughter many times yesterday and my next to the oldest granddaughter too. Oh...and making ovens. Don't ask. LOL

Both Dean and I had the day off together. We took Kalie & Mike to the airport so they could go on vacation. We just hung out and did what we wanted to do...didn't have to do anything! So my whole day was great!

Running all three miles on the treadmill (the highlight is living to tell about it).

Can't think of anything. I did work out for a half hour and felt great afterward. Oh, and the kids finally went back to school. Of course, it's snowing again today and they are back out again.

I started a diet... not sure that is a 'highlight'... but if I lose a lot of weight on this one I guess it would be!

That's easy--a long and mostly hilarious phone conversation with my dear friend in Milwaukee.

I spent yesterday and today at an art quilt workshop so I guess my whole day yesterday was a highlight.

My workout at my new exercise class. I feel so good after the workout.

Surviving 8 straight hours of data entry as fast as I can at my old place of business. I help out for them on as as-needed basis, and can't believe I did this for 20-some years! And with no help for the most part! At least they still value me, and I can still get it on when I need to. And the "on call" pays very well. And I survived.

This will go on for another couple of months, only a couple of days a week, and the bank balance will be boosted. Altogether to the good. My hands WILL limber up, if they don't freeze in place.

"The Big Bopper"The Day The Music Died
On this day in 1959, rising American rock stars Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and J.P. "The Big Bopper" Richardson are killed when their chartered Beechcraft Bonanza plane crashes in Iowa a few minutes after takeoff from Mason City on a flight headed for Moorehead, Minnesota.
Thaks for that post I heard abnout the big bopper all day today and never knew who he was
Can't remember what yesterday brought most days are alike.

Highlight from yesterday? It was a vacation day from work for us, and we'd gone to wine country for the weekend. Yesterday we had a lazy day of shopping in Dean and DeLuca in St. Helena, then some wine tasting at the Rubicon Estate Winery in Rutherford (between St. Helena and Napa). We're wine club members (Rubicon level) and are always recognized and treated very well.

Headed home yesterday evening and today it was "back to the old grind," except that I had the "pleasure" of thinking that it's only a 3-day work week for me since Friday is the first of the Governor's furlough days.

Making the final payment on my credit card.

Other than my mortgage and regular monthly bills (phone, electric, etc.), I am not completely and totally out of debt.

I stopped by the thrift store and found an Eagle (Brand) Craftstor craft module. I have a large tote, the sewing module, and two compact totes (saving to give to a couple of my nieces), and several of the smaller insert storage modules.

I'm still searching for the older, dark purple totes or another sewing module. I can't find them, even on eBay now.

The first photo shows a sewing module. It's about 9x9x9x. The one I have is purple! It holds everything I need to take to the quilt shop for an evening of piecework. The module I found yesterday has different inserts, I think it's a knitting or crochet tote, but it's the same size as the sewing module.

This was an excellent line of craft/sewing totes, well made in the USA and now discontinued. :(

Here's the large craft tote with several inserts. I'm hoping to find this in the original deep purple/fuschia/teal colorway.
