Weekends




Weekends are for memory making, 
relaxing and enjoying quiet moments of our days.  
If you would like, please share your weekend moments 
in the comment section with a link to your blog.



My weekend was filled with family and food.  I am still stuffed from the goodies and treats that were served over the weekend.  In celebration of list making my weekend contained:

-potato salad, chicken, asparagus!, green beans, lots and lots of homemade hummus, sugar cookies, lemon cake, pound cake...

-being with family:  our son, my sister and her family, my nephew and his wife, my favorite aunt and my cousins and my cousin's family.  All good.

-Easter vigil service in a little chapel

-spending the day with my sister, buying----more yarn---and having a lovely lunch out

-beautiful weather, sitting outside on Easter Sunday..unheard of in March but such a delight!

how was your weekend??

I hope to get caught up with all of your blogs over the next few days, these holidays push my screen time to the back burner, I'm thrilled that my weekend was filled to the brim with goodness.

    Life is so busy this time of year. Everyone is breaking out of the winer doldrums and inching for spring. I'm so happy to see spring! Your weekend sounds beautiful and peaceful.

    It sounds like a beautiful weekend! I know we were busy with people visiting-it was nice to see them, but it'll also be nice to settle back into our regular routine!

    as you had a lovely Easter! Ours was a bit too quiet. Cloudy and rainy but we got a walk in early in the morning. I succeeded with a lace sock knit this weekend. Only one made, but it was a good result.
    Weight watchers kept me from enjoying any chocolates. I had a few jelly beans. 36 pounds down, 6 to go and Im full steam ahead. GOtta finish!

    We laughed about the idea of Easter egg hunting here in the snow.

    What a wonderful Easter! Ours was lovely as well, celebrated with my brother and his family and our middle daughter. We had a huge Easter brunch after which I could have napped for hours! : )

    What a lovely weekend you had Karen ! Easter was spent in the morning with my in-laws and followed by my Dad coming to our house in the afternoon for dinner. It was strange not having my Mom with us for dinner but having my Dad was priceless beyond words.

    Lucky you, spending the Easter weekend with family! We had a very busy weekend. Hannah celebrated her 18th birthday with friends on Saturday, which meant getting ready to have a bunch of "kids" at the house. Hamburgers, hot dogs, snacks, cake, s'mores, bonfire ... By the time the last one's left (midnight), I was exhausted. Sunday we took the birthday girl out to eat and to the movies. It was a good weekend.

    Sounds like a lovely weekend. We had a busy one, taking my elderly parents to Chicago for the weekend to celebrate my Mom's 80th birthday. It was a success, but not very restful!

    Sounds like a pretty fantastic Easter weekend.

    Your photo is a perfect depiction of the beginning of spring. When we lived up in Penna., I remember waiting for those first little buds to make an appearance.

    I need an Easter detox big time. Also needed:a Nutella detox. Can't wait to see your new yarn.

    Sounds just lovely Karen. It was a wonderful Easter weekend here too. Lots of good times, meeting new people, and unfortunately, a sick little man (who is feeling better this morning).

    Hope you have a great week!

    It sounds like you had a very wonderful Easter weekend. Ours was quiet but lovely. Rebekah, Anton and baby Ella were our only guests. It was a joy to spend time with them, and Ella entertained us the whole time she was here.

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).
