Weekends


The weekend was wonderful but not exactly as planned.  I was lucky to see both kids last Easter weekend and on Tuesday our son called to report his computer screen on his laptop stopped.  So plans were adjusted and rearranged for all of us and he came home.

He now has a new computer that works and over the summer we will repair the computer screen-my husband is talented in resurrecting computers from the dead.  He has replaced many keyboards and screens.

So my plans of attending a street fair were cancelled for spending time with my husband and son.  I soaked in the sunshine and even knit on the swing-so refreshing!  They had steak and I had salmon on the grill with roasted vegetables and a salad.  We chatted, walked the dog, and yes, spent many hours talking tech stuff.

The weekend was full and good!


How was your weekend?

    Always a bonus when you get an unscheduled visit from family.

    At least you were able to have some more family time right?
    I was thinking of you last week while sitting on the beach and can't wait for you to get here!

    Sounds like a great weekend despite (or because of?) the change in plans. I love that lovely purple yarn in the sun!

    Sounds like a nice way for the weekend plans to change (except for the computer screen. But at least it got a son visit!) I love the top picture! The bottom one is great too but the top one is gorgeous!!

    So glad you had a great weekend despite the change in plans. I am envious that you got to sit outside and knit. Your back yard looks so inviting!

    Our Saturday was wonderful. Lots of time spent outdoors, friends stopping by - it was great. Rain and thunderstorms moved in on Sunday and right now we're under a tornado watch. Not looking good for our area right now, keep us in your thoughts!

    Sometimes the alternative plans work out better. Sounds like that is what happened to you. Can't beat spending time with family.

    Isn't it good when even though some plans don't go the way you want turn around lead to something even better. I still remember when my computer crashed in college and my dad went bought me a new one and drove it to me in the same day. ( thankfully, I was only 2 hours from home.) We ended up going out to lunch and spending the afternoon together enjoying my college town. good memories!

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).
