How to Keep Your Feet Warm

It's that time of year . . .

This is about all I have done today. I have worked on the colored pencil drawing of the dog, and did some painting on the watercolor I started earlier this week at our art group. But nothing is ready to share yet.

I can't tell what color the dog's eyes are in the photograph i am using, so Barrie is going to either try to get another picture of her, or maybe just bring her to town.

Aren't those fun socks?? They are different patterns and colors on purpose. I bought a cute little basket of yarn at "Knit on Pearl" in Jackson several years ago. It came with a lot of wonderful unique patterns. But the thing is, these socks aren't even meant to be worn. They are knit with tapestry yarn that is not washable. So these socks are more or less for decoration, but I have the book of patterns and instructions in case I want to make some more out of sock yarn.

Today I charged up my iPod, and then decided my XM Radio was just going to waste. I have one in my pickup, and listen to it all the time. The one I have here will transmit wirelessly to my stereo. It has been so long since I have used it that I had to go to the XM website to "refresh" it. I am listening to the "Roadhouse" channel right now. I can listen to any kind of music imaginable, CNN, Fox and Headline News. There are several comedian channels, and a "book" channel. I think they are reading "Twilight Zone" right now.

But what is a real favorite with me is the "Radio Classics" channel. I love listening to old "Lone Ranger" radio shows, "Fibber McGee and Mollie" , and "The Shadow".

The XM subscriptions are birthday presents for my kids every year, and I have six of them on my family plan. Tracy and Paul each have one, and Barrie has one in her pickup. I have one in my truck and one in the house.

Thumbing my nose at the TV today!
