    I haven't done a crossword puzzle in years which is a shame because they are so much fun!

    I'm never smart enough (aka patient enough) to sit & try to figure out crossword puzzles! If the answer doesn't come right away I put it down!

    My husband is a wiz at crosswords. I think I prefer sudoku.

    I love a good crossword puzzle as long as it's not ridiculously hard. Stumped on any words?

    The other day I heard Robert Kraft say that his wife used to love crossword puzzles--she did them in ink.

    My friend Tim used to do the NY Times crossword on SU by just randomly filling in letters and then crumpling the paper and saying "That was easy." I always got a laugh because I knew what he did but other didn't and their reactions were priceless!

    wowzers, it looks like you did good! I think I'm incapable of doing a crossword puzzle without ripping out my tears and ending up as a mess of tears! You'll have to teach me your tips. :)

New House Vibes

Image
Good morning! How are you doing? We've been in the new house for about a week and the kitchen is almost done. The cabinets and walls are painted and my husband finished installing the new floor yesterday. All that's left is that pesky lazy Susan that will not reassembly (grr) and baseboards and transitions. Oh and we bought a new light and a new faucet. All of this was a face lift for the time being until we decide what we really want. I have to admit it was really nice using the double oven, I've never had one before but it came in handy!  The kitchen is smaller than my old one but I'm completely okay with that. There is less to clean. Next up will be the family room where the paneling will be painted. We were going to paint the shelving but have decided to put that decision on hold for now. The animals are doing okay. Frodo is extra needy and Holly is hiding more so than usual. However, they know where their food is and every day it gets better and better.  I had an a

The Move

Image
  Hello! I'm moved.  The past week was a blur and quite stressful, I had a mini meltdown on Monday night over needing more boxes. The movers arrived Tuesday and Wednesday to load up our house then early Thursday morning they came back to pick up our bed and we all headed to western PA to immediately start unloading their trucks. The movers were so nice, friendly and kind. The original plan was to unload on Friday but my husband and I were successful in getting rid of enough 'stuff' that the estimated time was moved forward half a day. (all of the photos are in reverse order, thanks Blogger!) My sister, brother in law and my husband removed old wallpaper in the kitchen and will be painting the cabinets white. Unfortunately any kind of help I do is quite limited because of my RA. I can only take Tylenol for pain relief and so far I'm living off of it with whatever I do, I also need frequent breaks.  I unpacked the kitchen mostly, the hallway closet and the master bedroom.

Golden Wheat Shawl

Image
  I set my mind to finishing this shawl over the weekend.  As you can see, I succeeded!  I love how it turned out and as we know, blocking out the shawl is magical.  I was worried that the size would be too small and my fears were unfounded.  I blocked the daylights out of it! I love the lacy look and the way the shawl is shaped as a crescent shawl.  Crescent and asymmetrical shawls are my favorite at the current moment. Ravelry notes     What have you been working on this week? Joining Ginny
