Well we did get the tail end of it..5 inches of snow turned into lots of rain, it is 4:28 am Dec 4, you got it,I woke and can't get back to sleep.We are supposed to have alternate rain,snow ,wind today, I plan on shampooing my living room carpet today, I am lucky to have a good shampooer that shampoes and then sucks up everything quite dry.
Your tennants are lucky to have someone who cares of their comfort and windows are so expensive.
You mentioned your mothers talents, mine love to sew,she started in a hat shop in Medfield, Mass,USA,Edwin V. Mitchell Co. I have the letter written to her accepting her, dated January,1928, They used to like to hire Canadian girls from the Maritimes because they were known to be good workers. I keep the letter in a sweet little beaded purse sampler that she made there and I have the "sampler " hat she made for them,it is doll size and I keep it on a doll.There is a company logo picture on the letter and it is a picture of a quite large factory.
Un fortunately I hate to sew but years ago I did sew a lot of clothes for my children.
I like painting seascapes and nature landscapes.Mostly I love painting on location, that is where one does their best but in this weather that cannot be.
I am glad your brother has stayed reasonable well this long and wish him a good full life.
Oh I just noticed on the letter, the company my mother worked for was established in 1851 and incorporated in 1908, Mother was born 1906 and was 16 when she went there to work, She was 27 when she came home to Nova Scotia and met my father and married.Hope this bit of history doesn't bore you. Must say bye for now...lets hope for better weather, at least better driving and social gatherings-lol
Ellie I hope all is well with you, I watched the most amazing program on Australia early the other morning, oh I wish I was well and rich to visit, I would need a year or to to view your lovely , charming and mysterious country.Att least thank goodness I can get a "birds eye view" through watching Discovery and such programs.
