Weekends


Our weekend was quite busy.  On Friday night we went to our VERY last high school band/chorus concert.  We have been going to band/chorus concerts for 10 years!  I am sure when our son is at university he will be participating in music or theater so there will be more events to come.  

Prom was on Saturday, again the last one!  Pictures were at our house and the two of them were so nice looking in their tuxedo and dress.  Of course there were more pictures at the country club with all of their friends. Once the happy prom couple went inside to eat, us "old" folks went out to dinner with friends.  

Sunday was relaxing and peaceful.  I went to church, did some laundry and emailed to friends photos of the concert and the prom.

    Aren't these lasts bitter sweet? You described it so well. First we are caught aback at the thought that this is the last time for something. Then we check ourselves realizing that there will be more, just different. Then we go out to dinner with friends and realize this isn't so bad after all! ;)

    Blessings, Debbie

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...

  Good morning! How are you? How was your weekend? I had a great weekend but I didn't take any great photos. I've been wrapping presents a little bit each day instead of doing it all in one massive long day. This has made a difference in my joy as I wrap. Do you wrap all at once? Or do you do a little bit at a time? Miss Holly has been finding the sun spots and getting her 'tan' going. She is a sweetie. I have no idea what she is watching outside that window. She does that every day. My guess is probably birds or chipmunks but chipmunks should be resting now that it's super cold outside. Sadly I did not take any photos of my knitting, but I have been knitting! I continue to work on my husband's hat and I ripped out a pair of mitts I started (couldn't see the dark yarn with cabling) and started a much simpler pattern instead. Sunday was church then the laundry. I am getting excited for the upcoming holidays. The kids are coming back with the grandchildren and...
