Weekends

 

Don't you love the candid photos of Holly, she always looks like she's feeling guilty of something. This photo was taken around 5:30 in the morning and I have never seen her sleep on that chair. Amazing! How are you? How was your weekend?

My weekend was wet. I feel like we are in the rainy season. Today I have all the lights on to make me feel like there is brightness somewhere in my world. Friday night we went over to my sister and brother in law's house for dinner and game night. Our game nights have been on hiatus due to my dad doing his ICU thing. (he's doing well at home!!). So we are easing back into our regular habits.


Saturday I didn't do much except read or knit. I kind of wallowed in rainy day despair. Sunday is different, I'm completely ignoring the weather to the best of my ability and making my on sunny day. I painted a bit and did the laundry. 

I'm getting excited about the baby blanket progress. I dug through deep deep stash and unearthed some girl-like colors for a possible sweater and hat. It was nice to go down memory lane as I looked through various skeins that were mine years ago or my mother's stash that I inherited when she died in 1998 (!!). 

Anyways, I hope you have sunshine or are pretending to have some sunshine!!

    Holly looks so sweet.

    We had buckets and buckets of rain as well. Today the sun is out, but not for long. Rain is supposed to come back for the rest of the week.

    Holly looks like she can't believe you took her photo. Then Frodo is completely oblivious to the camera. Quite a pair they are. That baby blanket looks so snuggly. I am sure it will be used often. How fun to go down memory lane via your stash.

    We did have some peeks of sunshine this morning but it looks like clouds are gathering again for more rain. So keep knitting and making your sunshine!

    The rain stopped long enough that I could walk each day. Your blanket is so pretty. Can't wait to see what else you knit for your granddaughter.

    Our weekend was rained out as well.
    Nice to hear your dad is back home and you are returning to your old routines.
    The blanket is going to be beautiful.

    We are having beautiful cool sunny days here. Saturday and Sunday the wind blew a gale so maybe it will blow sunshine your way. I'm glad you easing back into your regular routine. Enjoy the week.

    Nice to hear your routines are returning. Holly is just so charming. She does have a bit of a guilty look though! Our weekend was a soggy one too. Yesterday was sunny but way too windy and last night I woke to rain during the night. Grey and a bit uninspiring here today.

My weekend happily contained: -wearing the above woolens all at the same time without being hot -so many walks and taking in the changing leaves. -a leaf shower on Saturday-the wind swirled the leaves off the trees up in the air to float down -changing screen savers to autumn themes! -a craft fair where my husband and I say "we could make that", but we don't. -french fries at the craft fair -scrambled eggs and toast for dinner because we were lazy. -football season has descended in my house. he was in the front room watching whatever is on today -I sat in the family room and watched A Tree Grows in Brooklyn .   Now I want to read it again. -Oh! I finished the socks!! So I wound up about six skeins of yarn and have three projects ready -started a cowl for me in fall colors (I hope to finish before fall ends) -enjoying Spirits of Joy .  Hannah graciously had a one day free sign up for her birthday at the end of September which I luckily saw on Twitter.  Than

New Year

  Good morning! How are you? Happy New Year, may this year be full of blessings to all of you. Well now, I finally have an empty home after having our son, daughter in law, grandson and granddaughter here for six nights.  I am still experiencing fatigue and symptoms from the virus even though I am feeling better. It was a challenge hosting family while recovering. Also we babysat the kids overnight (!!) while my son and daughter in law went for little getaway. I am thankful and grateful my Aunt came over both days to help out with the granddaughter who never sleeps during the day. (snack-naps do not count!). They all left early in the morning, and while I was tired, sleep deprived and fatigued, I put away Christmas plus all the toys and doodads you need for babies. Today I am looking at a squeaky clean house. I am planning on reading books and falling asleep while doing so! My exercise routine is on hold as I slowly get better. Maybe next week I can muster up some energy for some yoga

  Good morning! How are all of you doing on this fine Monday morning? I'm back after having family here for nine nights (!). Our little granddaughter went back to ER this past Thursday for some oxygen monitoring and was successfully discharged the same day. She sees her doctor this afternoon in her hometown, so far she is feeling better. The miracle is that no one else came down with the virus. (maybe her dad but it was barely 48 hours of a mild cough). It's all about me and I'm glad that I didn't catch it. Our company left Friday morning. My husband and I blitzed the house like madmen. We put away all the toys, playpens, the highchair and compressed our kitchen table down from seating six to seating four people. I completed four loads of laundry that day. (let me tell you that little baby and grandson generated a load of laundry per day - and both kids generated a bag of garbage daily - I do not remember any of this when my kids were little). We strategically went thro
