    We had a wonderful weekend. Yesterday was spent with friends going on a bike ride. (The money raised was given to a women going through cancer treatments.) Today was spent at home, swimming, reading and relaxing. I wish I could add knitting, but just as I was about to start my new project, I realized I didn't have the right needles. Oh well, more time to finish the book I can't put down right now.

    Sounds like you had a bit of frustration, but weathered it well! We moved lots of books and I tried to figure out a new position to sit/lay/stand in so my shoulder wouldn't hurt. Got through about half of church and Sunday School before my should said, "Time to go home." Heard the news that a dear friends has lung cancer and then saw her at church trying flitting around with a big grin trying to cheer everyone else up. What a great example. Visitors from church will be here in a few minutes. Enjoy the coming week!

    Oh my dear friend, you have been on my mind all day. I hope with all the stress and hoop la that will take over your upcoming week that you take moments to just breathe, say a little prayer and knit some to relieve the stress. It's going to be a fantastic wedding.

    I'm not sure, but I think the lovely flowers in your photos might be bachelor buttons? There will be one fewer bachelor after next Saturday! I'll be thinking about you and your family during this exciting milestone. Enjoy your zen state of mind!

    Hope you figure out a fix for your water line -- yes, why? Ugh.
    Sending prayers and a hug for all the details of the wedding to come together, for smooth, peaceful, grace-filled days leading up to the wedding. :)
    Karen, my heart goes out to you...our daughter married and has since traveled all over Europe while the son-in-law pursued his PhD. Scotland is his post-doc; yes, we are saving and planning to visit in about a year. :) When the weather turns c-o-l-d you will need to get on a plane for a visit to your daughter, too!

    we've got that same frig water line leak....we tried replacing some gizmo and it worked for awhile, but every now and again, i have to put a sponge on the grate to catch the overflow. Then it's OK for awhile, and we start all over again. If you figure yours out, please let me know!!!
    phew. thank goodness for knitting. sending great happy vibes your way for the best week full of fun, family, and fabulous memories!!! :)

    We had the same thing happen to our refrigerator. And I wondered the same thing. And I was grateful that we were home so we avoided a big flood. Have a great week Karen.

    We've had such bad luck with those water lines to the frig that we finally just disconnected it. No more water or ice in our side by side!!!!!!! Oh well, there are worse things... ruined hardwood floors!
    I hope you have a good week as I know the wedding is coming up this next weekend.

    A lovely weekend! Next weekend will really be one for memories. You will laugh about that leaky pipe one day. I got to go to a yarn store with my daughters this weekend which was wonderful too.

    I had Friday and most of Saturday to myself for the first time in many months. I so enjoyed the peace.
    I knit a garter purse that is just adorable finished.
    My mom always talked about her pew partners!

    Yey soon be wedding day. You must be excited. We went to Hannah's old schoolfriend's wedding in Edinburgh last weekend. It brought home how emotional it will be when it's Hannah's. I hope that all goes well with your plans. Have a calm zen restful week. Peace and love...

    Your weekend sounds good but busy. Leaks make me nervous. Not a full-blown phobia, but you know discussing them makes me think I should turn and look over my shoulder. weird. TMI? ha! Anyways I had an excellent weekend, thank you for asking. Family, exercise and a little knitting as well. Wishing you a wonderful week.

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

Hopefulness

Image
  Good morning! This week has been busy with classes and routine doctor appointments. The arthritis doctor has a few tricks up her sleeve for some of my dry mouth issues (from my autoimmune disease - Sjorgren's Syndrome) that make me feel hopeful. What was the most important thing during that doctor visit is that I felt seen and heard. I am thankful for her and her team. Speaking of hopefulness, look at my daffodils sprouting up! Some of the daffodils are just starting and some already have a head start. I love winter, but I'm looking forward to spring. The crocuses seem to be taking their time this year, as well as the snowdrops (unless those pesky deer have eaten them, grr). Even though I am still knitting my baby blanket, I have gathered four skeins of potential socks to be and am dreaming of a wonderful sock frenzy cast on.

New Year

  Good morning! How are you? Happy New Year, may this year be full of blessings to all of you. Well now, I finally have an empty home after having our son, daughter in law, grandson and granddaughter here for six nights.  I am still experiencing fatigue and symptoms from the virus even though I am feeling better. It was a challenge hosting family while recovering. Also we babysat the kids overnight (!!) while my son and daughter in law went for little getaway. I am thankful and grateful my Aunt came over both days to help out with the granddaughter who never sleeps during the day. (snack-naps do not count!). They all left early in the morning, and while I was tired, sleep deprived and fatigued, I put away Christmas plus all the toys and doodads you need for babies. Today I am looking at a squeaky clean house. I am planning on reading books and falling asleep while doing so! My exercise routine is on hold as I slowly get better. Maybe next week I can muster up some energy for some yoga
