    I haven't done a crossword puzzle in years which is a shame because they are so much fun!

    I'm never smart enough (aka patient enough) to sit & try to figure out crossword puzzles! If the answer doesn't come right away I put it down!

    I love a good crossword puzzle as long as it's not ridiculously hard. Stumped on any words?

    Visiting from SouleMama...I love to see an actual newspaper. I saw someone recently doing the crossword on their iPad....just isn't the same to me. Happy weekending!

    My friend Tim used to do the NY Times crossword on SU by just randomly filling in letters and then crumpling the paper and saying "That was easy." I always got a laugh because I knew what he did but other didn't and their reactions were priceless!

    wowzers, it looks like you did good! I think I'm incapable of doing a crossword puzzle without ripping out my tears and ending up as a mess of tears! You'll have to teach me your tips. :)

Weekends

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!

  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).
