Weekends


My weekend was kind of boring but in a very good way.  We went for a drive on Friday and really enjoyed seeing the countryside.  As always the llamas (yes llamas) were basking in the mild weather.  I'd own a llama but I think my neighborhood would not appreciate one.  Sometimes I think my husband and I would like buy a farm when he reaches retirement.

Saturday was sitting and knitting.  We had a plain dinner-he had steak, I had left over millet patties.  The millet patties were better fresh, but still tasty.  Oh and ahem.....there were donuts again.  Could this be a weekend treat?  We watched two episodes of Star Trek.  We are almost half way through the first season.

Today we went to church and instead of paying attention I was totally focused on a man and his daughter behind us.  They were sniffing and coughing-the sound drove my husband nuts.  I was freaked out that I would catch it.  Why oh why do people go to church sick?  It is mostly old people at church (older than me, ha ha) they really do not need to have a nasty cold or the flu.  I do not need a nasty cold or flu.

Later today we will be watching "the game" and eating really yummy food! Chocolate chip cookies!

    I wanted llama's too, but my husband said no! I am now on the lookout for a milk cow and goat!
    I often wonder about people being sick at Mass too, it's not like you can get up and leave. Drink lots of water and get plenty of Vitamin C and garlic [it helps].

    Oh, you've brought up one of my pet peeves--sick people in church! Ack! It *is* distracting. I noticed that the people a few pews in front of us brought hand sanitizer with them to use after the "Sign of Peace"--I can't blame them.

    Llamas are nice. It must be nice to see them as you drive through the countryside. I would love to live on a farm, but my husband has no desire to be a farmer :-(

    That chocolate chip cookie batter sure looks yummy :-)

    Chocolate chips, yum!

    I too cringe at public coughers!

    I'm sure that you were protected in church from their cough and I hope that they benefitted or were healed from being there.



    Hope you have a great week.

    Take precious care,

    1. I want to eat that cookie dough...real bad.

    2. It drives me NUTS when people go out while they're sick! It's not fair to the rest of us that would like to stay healthy...

    That cookie dough is making me drool! I am going to have to make some cookies ...lol.

    People snuffing drives me bonkers and why does anyone who has a bad cold go anywhere? Stay at home people!

    We watched Contagion this weekend, and I've been over the top conscious of coughing, sneezing, touching stuff, and hands near face.....these folks need to stay HOME!!!

    Long long and prosper!! (We're sort of Trekkie fans, too--particularly PapaGeek!!!)

    I held my breath at the store when a cougher turned my way yesterday. Sending you good healthy thoughts.
    I made chocolate chips cookies today, too. Mmm... wondering how long I can stick to enjoying my tea?

    I hate when people leave the house sick. A cough is one thing as theycan linger long after sniffles and fever, but fevers and sniffles - no way. Oh, and I love, love, love chocolate chip cookies

    Okay so when your page opened up, like Pavlov's dog my mouth started watering. It's 8:30am and I've got chocolate chips on the brain lol!!!
    I use to really want alpacas. We even went to an alpaca farm (gorgeous creatures), and I think I almost had my husband convinced!! The couple that owned the farm were a successful business couple in NY, then picked up and left everything to raise Alpacas in Virginia. Who knows--maybe one day right?

    Sorry to hear about the sick people behind you! I'll keep my fingers crossed that you won't catch it!!

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...

Knitting News

  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).
