What I Like about Him


We are celebrating 27 years of marriage this week.  (YAY)


So I'm listing what I like about him:

-he laughs at my jokes even if they aren't that funny
-whatever I'm worried about he says it will be okay
-we talk at the same time about the same stuff
-we both have fitness trackers and compare how many steps we have (I'm nearly always behind)
-he will ferret out unknown to me yarn shops for day trips and lunches, nearly every time there is also a used vinyl record shop as well for him


-he likes most of my crazy ideas
-he knows the difference between knitting and crocheting
-we love long aimless car rides
-I am directionally challenged and he knows where we are where ever we are
-he makes the best pizza crust from scratch and delicious curry dinners
-I still cannot read his writing but come close to the message when needed
-he can calculate in his head, I'm a finger counting girl so it comes in handy after 10.


Have a lovely weekend :)

    Happy anniversary! I love your list and was so surprised at how much in common you guys have with Mike and me. It's too bad we live so far apart, we would all have fun together.
    Enjoy the long weekend my dear friend.

    Congratulations and Happy Anniversary! It sounds like he's definitely worth keeping around for quite a few more years. I'm especially touched by his record/yarn shop parity!

    Happy anniversary! Great list. When I married Julian (a mathematician) I thought it would be SO helpful for calculating sales. But what I didn't bargain for is that he is also a professor, so when I ask what 40% of $39.99 is he will say, "Now, 40% is almost 50% and what is half of $40?" and so on! Isn't it great that we can be so different and so well suited?

    I knew your list was about your husband, but when I saw the photo of your dog, I began imagining that was the list of what you like about Frodo.... hehee...

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! 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).
