Weekends

my stepmother grew these!

My Weekend was filled with:

-dinner out with the four of us the last time until a school break
-donuts (why oh why are they an evil but necessary food???)
-packing packing packing up my daughter
-starting my sentences with "do you have this?"  "do you want this?"
-shopping the cupboards-to stock up her apartment until she can get to the store
-changing all the bedclothes and beginning the laundry
-seeing my end table without any clutter!
-driving on Saturday to move her stuff in followed by lunch out
-seeing my knitting friends today and laughing

Live Is Good.

How was your weekend?

    It sounds like a lovely weekend, and I love your flowers! We've spent a lot of time on the front porch today & the neighbor boys have spent a lot of it with us. (In fact, as I type my children are in bed & the neighbor boys are still on the porch playing!) xo

    I am so glad you got to laugh laugh this weekend, that makes it a great weekend. And if you add a donut or two then all the better. I haven't eaten a donut in forever and now I really want one!!!

    Sounds like a great weekend before getting your daughter back to school. Seems like yesterday when I remember going back to school after a summer at home. Sigh! I totally agree with you about the donuts by the way the flowers are gorgeous!

    I love when the tables are uncluttered...I can't see mine today! I need to do some serious sorting out!

    Hope you don't miss your daughter too much...maybe a chance to do lots more knitting?

    Have a good week.

    Donuts are necessary. They just are!

    Krispy Kremes were on our schedule this past weekend. We only get to have them once every couple of years so we indulged a bit. Isn't it strange how the older our kids get, the more we enjoy dinners with them?

    Sounds splendid, Karen. I have never been a doughnut lover... isn't that weird!? I will eat them, but it's not something I really care one way or the other about. I'm glad you got your daughter off safely! I hope she has a great year!

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).
