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 husband celebrated his birthday this weekend and being the generous person that I am, I made him HIS favorite cake but it's definitely not mine.  German Chocolate cake (mix).  I prefer just plain chocolate with white icing.  He loves that the cake was all about him.  I hope he savors every bite because it will be next year when another one is baked :)


I forgot to share the snow drop photo from earlier in the week when the weather was acting like spring.  This morning when I went to 7:30 Mass (yawn) the temperature measured 8 degrees.  Insane.  I believe the weather will be warming up once more but for now, I'm hibernating and waiting.


Yesterday, our son arrived for his spring break week and was busy setting up his new computer.  There's nothing like new technology in the room to geek out all about it.  The more I talk about it the more I know about it.  Who knew?  I remember pre-Ravelry days and being computer illiterate.  Look at me now!

The weekend included:  curry, rice and dahl - photography - new project to be shared soon - not eating that cake in the photo - list making - texts with the west coast daughter - lots of reading and finishing books

How was your weekend?

    You did what needed to be done as birthday's are all about the person who is celebrating one. Hope your hubby had a great day! So nice to see signs of spring! We had snowdrops and crocus, which are now covered with snow.

    My husband loves cheesecake and I don't--but I always make it on his birthday.:)
    LOVE your snowdrops AND that gorgeous green yarn! So nice that your son is home.♥

    Happy Birthday to your husband! I believe you get extra good wife points if you make a cake that is not your favorite. :-) All those snowdrops are really lovely, as is that green yarn. Enjoy your son's visit!

    We had a half busy one with good company, good eats, and walking. How wonderful of you to make this cake for your husband; glad he enjoyed it. Have some great QT with your son.

    I like German chocolate cake well enough, but it's not my fave. The one you baked looks pretty yummy, though.

    Sounds like it was a good weekend - I really like the green yarn btw.

    I think those bitterly cold temps are much harder to take after there has been a spell of milder weather. We did not get down to single digits, but the teens here felt extra cold! However, your weekend looks like despite that weather it was filled with lots of warmth!

    My brother's birthday was last Monday... his favorite cake: German Chocolate. Must be something about being born this time of year. LOL! It is always hard for me to tolerate cold after we've had warm. That yarn is a perfect color for St. Patrick's Day coming up! Glad you enjoyed some geek time with your son. It is pretty amazing all that we've all learned with Ravelry and blogging. Keeps our minds working. hee hee. Have a wonderful week, Karen! blessings ~ tanna

    Your weekend sounds great...especially having your son home on break! Happy belated birthday to your husband...and love the color of the yarn. I couldn't believe how cold you had it over the weekend. Our lowest was 17.

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).
