The BIG Wind

Last Wednesday and Thursday a big wind blew on through. Gusts up to 75-69 miles an hour were clocked in our county. Every tumble weed, corn stock and leaf headed towards the southeast. My trees, unfortunately, took a hit. The beautiful sand willow in back lost one of its large branches that use to embrace the sky in supplication.

Tuesday our business venture actually got underway. Western Nebraska Consulting LTC Nursing Solutions provided their first client an educational seminar to their employees. Jessamyn designed some great designs for our brochures and business cards. I am unable to download the PDF files with designs on it. Sorry, will have to figure it out later or take a picture of one when they are printed.

Thursday Linda and I  braved the winds, with visibility at times at zero to go to Scottsbluff. I got my permanent crown put on my now quite expensive upper back molar. Linda and I both applied for our concealed gun permits at the Scottsbluff Highway Patrol office. Finger printed, photographed and pledged to uphold the law we will be receiving our permits and licenses to be official gun toting mommas.

Just for fun I am taking a stained glass class for six weeks every Tuesday morning. It is helps my need for a creative outlet. At least I haven't flunked this class like when I tried my hand at a quilting class. Who by the way, Linda taught when we still worked at Good Samaritan. Linda is a very accomplished quilter and hopefully I can get accomplished in glass work, so it can enhance my jewelry making this winter.
