Weekends


Saturday was spent watching  I Love Lucy reruns and lots and lots of knitting.  My mother loved to watch this show and it seems my daughter finds it quite hilarious.  Could this be genetic?  Who knows, but it was funny to watch.  Ethyl was wearing a lovely shrug that happens to be back in style.

Some time ago (sorry cannot remember when) my husband and I watched Act I of Fiddler on the Roof  but never finished the musical.  You can guess what we viewed Saturday night.  For some reason I do not recall the musical being so sad.  Keep in mind, I got the pleasure of hearing "Tradition" being sung by my husband the rest of the evening.  Always entertaining and a mood lifter!

Sunday was church then the never ending laundry chores.  In a couple of weeks (gasp!) I will only be washing clothes for two.  It boggles my mind and I wonder if I will adjust to less laundering. Time will tell, I guess.

    Sounds like a wonderful weekend! Did you know that this weekend is Lucille Ball's 100th birth anniversary!? I can't believe it. And yes... the short selections they did were fabulous!

    I have been watching I Love Lucy too. I just adore her! Have you seen any of her earlier movies? She really was beautiful. xx

    I've been watching Lucy, too. She reminds me of my grandmother!

    I'm ignoring the laundry for one more day here.

    I haven't seen Fiddler on the Roof in years, but Steve often sings from it. I should borrow it for us to enjoy.

    Karen ~ I watched Lucy yesterday and this morning til they started rerunning yesterdays episodes ~ I had the giggles every single episode!

    and Fiddler is a family favorite ~ my sibs (and their families) and my parents and I got together a few months ago to watch it ... again

    when it was over my dad turned to me like a lightbulb went off in his head and said 'bet I know what you were looking at'... Did you notice all the lovely shawls ;)

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 to you! How are you? I'm excited about my hat that I've been knitting enjoying the sea of stockinette stitches. When I first started the hat I thought it would be too small, now I wonder if it will be too big. Gah. I will find out soon I guess. I wish the photo about showed how beautiful the colors are in real life, you'll have to trust me on this! Below is my next knitting project, the habitation throw . I will definitely use the pink and gray, I'm still not sure about that purple, I might have a look-see in my stash and do another ponder about that color. I chose this pattern because I can use up some of my stash and I adore Helen Stewart's patterns. What are you working on this week? Also: I will probably not be posting this Friday and the following Monday because of my family visiting. I hope to be back next Wednesday (unless I change my mind).
