    What a great-looking bunch of people! Maybe your husband was not happy about that guy to his left finding his way into the picture? :-)

    My daughter and her boyfriend visited for the weekend, which is always a good time! The new puppy enjoyed all the attention he received, although my daughter was very good about giving Popeye equal time. : ) What a great selfie, your husband is wearing the same expression my husband wears for selfies, LOL! Have a great week, Karen!

    I love it when you go out and about with your crew. My mum bought a selfie stick for her and my dad when they travel; I'm thinkin we may need one too.

    Unlike you, we had a low key weekend, putting stuff from our trip away, babysitting the GK, church and grocery shopping...and even a walk.

    Oh YAY! everyone together is awesome ... and I'm sure your husband was smiling on the inside ;-) I know y'all must be loving having both kids within driving distance. (and a long enough drive to justify "car knitting" is really a bonus). I saw your 7pm light photo on instagram ... maybe you've finished that cowl by now?!

    What a handsome family! Time together is the best - wherever you may go. Lots of car knitting is even better.

    Yay for a visit with your daughter and son-in-law. Wish I could have gone along and I could have visited my daughter and son-in-law who also live in Newark DE! Some of those sights looked familiar. :) Loved the selfie...even the one of your hubby. :)

      Family and fun ! So nice that they are a road trip away. I meant to post on the weekend but was loaned a new book that I finished reading in 3 days. "Before she knew him ". I haven't read that quickly in decades. It was most enjoyable.

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

  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).
