Happenings
Good afternoon! How are you?
Finally it is fall like weather and my maple tree has decided to join in the celebrations. Crisp cool air in the mornings and evenings, what could be better? I had to wear a jacket on Saturday morning to watch my grandson play soccer. I loved it.
On Thursday I went with my aunt and cousin to drive around the neighborhood we grew up in Pittsburgh. I cannot believe how everything looks so small. The houses, my old school, the streets, the length of the streets. It was so much fun.
On Friday afternoon, I went to a picnic at my school and a friend saved me a seat. Our table was the first to get in line for the food. That was awesome as well! I was thankful it was inside instead of outside like last year. I nearly wilted from the sun and heat.
I finished knitting the granddaughter's holiday sweater and I need to sew buttons and do a beauty soak routine. I used maybe 4-8 yards of that extra skein. I see lots of hats being made with the rest.
A picnic sounds nice.
ReplyDeleteHi Karen,
ReplyDeleteWe had a little taste of fall as well...unfortunately the temps are back up in the 90s now...I do love your little purple sweater...

ReplyDeleteIt's fun and interesting to go back and see the old childhood neighborhood. Sounds like you had a nice reunion and picnic. I love the sweater. Have a good week!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a lovely weekend Karen. Love the sweater you've knit for your granddaughter. Our temps have moderated again which is so nice. I made a bit pot of chili for dinner last night.
ReplyDeleteHow fun that you were able to have an indoor picnic at your school with your friend. And that holiday sweater for your granddaughter is gorgeous! I love that color!
ReplyDeleteHow fun to visit childhood places! The weather this weekend was just perfect! Have a great week, Karen!
ReplyDeleteHow fun to visit the old neighborhood. The sweater is so cute. I envy your weather. We are still over 100° here. I am ready for fall!
ReplyDeleteWe have enjoyed two weeks of fall weather but now headed back to summer for a few days. A picnic at your old school sounds like fun. The little sweater is very sweet. That color will be perfect for the holidays.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it funny that way.. going back to old childhood places and how different they look. Looks like you had a lot of fun.
