Anne’s winter projects

Anne suggested that I post some of her projects, only fair I guess. Here are some photos of her pillow sporting the new covers. Anne’s “sewing room” is in the loft area of the house which puts her two floors up  from the noise of my work shop, not a bad deal for both of us.

These projects were started by her mom and, fortunately, were the right color to be used as throw pillows on the window seat that Anne also made.The weather has settle down a bit, the temps hover around the hi 30s during the day and the high 20s during the evenings, so far all the shoveling has been just that shoveling, I use the snow blower just to clear what the plow throws In the driveway.

Ron’s latest project

   Both Anne and I are spending our days  inside with enough time outside to keep the driveway shoveled and a walk a couple times around the block  each day. To the right is a picture of a grandfather clock I am working on while Annie is upstairs sewing, not a bad winter for us. Our total snowfall is maybe a foot, haven’t used the snow blower much, I am able to keep the driveway open with a shovel. Needless to say that this winter is different from last years, we won’t be traveling till this summer, we are already talking about when and what part of the country we will visit.

A cold day in Massena

We woke to very cold day but in our cozy and warm bed and equally warm house, needless to say, that is where we spent the day, Anne sewing and me in my wood shop, ah in my heated shop, it was –29 earlier in the morning.




Anne took some pictures and we want to share them with you








Kind a neat hu?

New Years Day

New The New Year started  out with a beautiful  sky and nice temperatures, Annie and I went out for walks several times during the day to keep cabin fever down, I enjoy the cooler weather but Annie has a harder time with the cold. Our RV is covered with a canvas tarp and is actually also under snow at this time, we are both busy working ahhhh playing inside, Annie is sewing and I spend a good portion of my time in my wood shop.

A winter day in Massena,NY

Last year was something quite different for us, we were on the road for eight months and saw some of the country’s most beautiful National Parks and met some of the nicest people and,even though we’re wintering in Massena this winter, we kept in touch with a lot of them. This winter our traveling will be done via our photos and a couple of blogs that our friends are posting.
