Weekends

 

Good morning! How was your weekend? 

Mine was relaxing. After we returned home on Thursday from seeing the grandchildren in Indiana, my Friday was a catch up day. Saturday and Sunday were completely relaxing. 

Saturday I fiddled about with organizing my online photos for 2020, 2021 and 2022 (yes woefully behind but done!). I still have to save some photos on this computer to save to a flash drive yet. Isn't it silly to be virtually organizing? Remember when we had physical copies of everything and would place the photos in photo albums?

Saturday afternoon, I read books and worked on the last hitchhiker shawl (still not done).

Sunday after Mass, I did laundry and cleaned the house somewhat. I read some more and knitted some more. That last hitchhiker shawl is taking forever but I am so close to being finished.


I'm sure we are still going to have hot weather but honestly it's been refreshing to be cold in the mornings and see the changes in the trees. Fall is rushing in and I am welcoming it.

    I think it's a good idea to organize those digital photos. I don't want to say how far behind I am! You are knitting some beautiful yarn into that Hitchhiker!

    I agree with Bonny on organizing digital photos! (and like her, I am far, far behind!)

    Happy Much Cooler Monday!

    How do you organize digital photos? By subject? By date? We are heading below 100° this week and I am ecstatic. Hopefully we will stay that way until next summer.

    The cooler times sure have been welcomed around here too.

    The yarn for your Hitchhiker is very pretty.

    A relaxing weekend sounds perfect. We hosted H's friends for a playdate and let them make their own pizzas.. so I had a lot of clean up to do. Not relaxing.

    The hitchhiker looks very pretty. I love the colors. Hooray for cooler mornings. We had a few cooler days and are now warming up again. A relaxing weekend is nice. Most of my hard copy photos are in photo boxes arranged by date. I gave up the albums quite early as it seemed like the kids needed photos for school projects. They were hard to get out of albums and then back into them.

    Your garden looks pretty. I like that yarn you are using for that hitchhiker shawl.

    I should try to organize my photos somehow. I have many, many photo albums and used to be quite good at keeping everything organized and up-to-date. So glad you could visit your grandchildren, and then rest and relax when you got home. You have a lovely backyard. Have a good week!

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

Hopefulness

Image
  Good morning! This week has been busy with classes and routine doctor appointments. The arthritis doctor has a few tricks up her sleeve for some of my dry mouth issues (from my autoimmune disease - Sjorgren's Syndrome) that make me feel hopeful. What was the most important thing during that doctor visit is that I felt seen and heard. I am thankful for her and her team. Speaking of hopefulness, look at my daffodils sprouting up! Some of the daffodils are just starting and some already have a head start. I love winter, but I'm looking forward to spring. The crocuses seem to be taking their time this year, as well as the snowdrops (unless those pesky deer have eaten them, grr). Even though I am still knitting my baby blanket, I have gathered four skeins of potential socks to be and am dreaming of a wonderful sock frenzy cast on.

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
