I remember burning the soles of my shoes by keeping them as close as I could to the flames! I'm glad that you are okay. Too bad that you don't have a treadle machine...then nothing would slow your sewing down!!Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13368655338665362173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1118067118933182266.post-44654014346667839082014-02-11T22:41:42.135-05:002014-02-11T22:41:42.135-05:00I felt the same way about the Hydro workers during...I felt the same way about the Hydro workers during our ice storm who worked around the clock and missed Christmas with their own families trying to restore our city's power. You and hubby have the right spirit helping out your neighbors. These storms and the aftermath are very scary for those people on their own. On a lighter note, your fabrics look delicious! fiberchickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03611433674621659866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1118067118933182266.post-66387600529168725232014-02-11T17:30:23.640-05:002014-02-11T17:30:23.640-05:00I always marvel at the work and dedication of the ...I always marvel at the work and dedication of the rescue services people - they all deserve our praise (ours are currently fighting fires).

I too never understand the complaining. Do these people think that there are workers sitting in luxury somewhere & not bothering to go out? Most times these workers are flat out. I say take some personal responsibility & help yourselves if at all possible & safe. Maybe clear the smaller trees or scrape a road? Gee it really makes me a ranty pants. OK rant over.<br />The Farmer's Wives blocks are looking lovely. Look forward to seeing more.<br />Cheers<br />Lush<br />Worthing, UKdiegoagogohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09802109001764598138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1118067118933182266.post-10242469048904420092014-02-10T23:06:06.882-05:002014-02-10T23:06:06.882-05:00I agree with you Kelly.

There were 3 branches on wires in just one block of our street. There was just so much for them to do that it takes a lot of time. We stopped and thanked any workers we saw when we were out. Good for you two for helping your neighbors and have a wonderful getaway!

I am sure that neighbor was so grateful to get to her sisters. <br />It really is difficult to be without power, but working in the ice and cold is so physically demanding and dangerous. It is easy to complain but those crews are really going over and above toget power restored. <br />Your yellows look so sunshiney bright. <br />Enjoy the the retreat!

Good on you for voicing your feelings about people not appreciating the work that all the emergency repair crews do. It's great to see got a bit of fabric play in , even if it's getting blocks ready for sewing at the retreat. I hope the weather settles down soon and that everything gets back to normal for you all.
