Weekends

 

How was your weekend?

Thank you so much for the well wishes, I am feeling much better. Modern medicine has yet to fail me.

 My weekend was fun! On Saturday, we had my sister and brother in law over for dinner and dessert. I made chili, cornbread, salad and a pumpkin pie. I celebrated fall.


 On Sunday, we drove to southeastern Ohio for the day for our granddaughter's baptism. Afterwards we attended a little luncheon. We had fun seeing everyone and being with family. Our grandson was great fun, full of smiles and hugs. Our ride home was slightly delayed due to a major accident on the highway, my family in another car was stuck in that traffic jam due to the highway being shut down for over four hours.

I am grateful I was home by dinner time and felt awful for my aunt and cousins who didn't get home until 9:30 - 10:00 in the evening.

I worked on my grandson's Christmas sweater in the car and had a wonderful time knitting a short project.

    That was a quick visit but for a good reason! I'm glad you feel better and had plenty of car knitting time.

    I am glad you had a great visit, but ugh for that traffic issue. I am reveling in a rainy Monday!

    I hope everyone in the accident will be okay. I suppose that is why it is always good to have your knitting along. It makes being stuck a little less aggravating.

    You are the second blogger I follow making the flax sweater for a grand baby. It looks like a great pattern and so many sizes. The parish where the baptism took place looks so 9retty. I am sure it was a perfect day. So glad to hear modern medicine wins again against a arthritic flare!

    Hi Karen. So glad you could attend the baptism. Traffic jams are no fun at all! I love the sweater you are making for your grandson. I hope you have a good week. See you again soon.

    Oh that traffic. The new little sweater looks warm and cozy. I'm glad you traveled to and from the baptism safely in spite of the traffic jam.

    Sounds like a good weekend, apart from the traffic jam. That first photo, of the church... wow . It looks beautiful ! Must feel quite special to attend a service there.

    that sounds like a FULL weekend. how wonderful that so much family was able to be there for the baptism. Our weekend was spent close to home - baseball, walks (me) and football/golf (Marc) - which also gave me time to knit and read. (a real win/win!)

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
