I loved getting to spend time
with Emerson, my granddaughter,
even if it was only for a little while.
She left early Saturday morning,
and with my Mike working and
Alex away on for a bachelors
fishing weekend for his brother,
I have had the house to myself.

There was the some house loving
and bedding to wash, the vacuum
cleaner saw some action, along
with the dust cloth. Is my home
the only one that seems to grow
dust daily? It's a never ending
battle. I even scrubbed the kitchen
floor [always on my hands and
knees, it's my way].

The weather this weekend was
perfect! Sunshine, cool breezes
and no bugs, I'll take it. It felt
so good to hike for hours.

I stayed up way too late knitting
on several projects and watching
old movies.  Have you seen Mr. Lucky?
Cary Grant learns to knit! It's worth
watching just for the knitting scenes
and I love movies that make me laugh
out loud.

I discovered a new potato chip which
may not be a good thing. ;)  and a new
dish to prepare for lunch...it's wonderful!

My guys are all now home and I'm
prepared for a new week; it's going
to be a good one!

YARN ALONG

The human
spirit needs
places where
nature has
not been
rearranged
by the hand
of man.

 

 

 

 With cooler temperatures arriving
I have resumed work on my blanket,
one I started back in May of 2013!
The blanket has spent months in
timeout due to a careless mistake I
made and then kept knitting thinking
it wouldn't bother me, it did. I ripped
out 6,960 stitches and am now back
on track.  I would love to give this
as a gift this Christmas so it will be
seeing a lot of knitting time.

On my night stand this week is
The Honey Thief, a book I picked
up while thrift shopping and one
that has started out quite well so
I have high hopes.
