    I admire the fact you went to Easter Vigil. I have attended them for the past 20 years but with my cranky joints decided sitting for 3-4 hours would not be a grand idea. Sunday Easter Mass this year for us. Our vigil did not start until 8pm this year too!

    I think you and your sister are looking more alike each time you post a photo of the two of you. What a sweet (and delicious-looking) lamb!

    Such a great picture of the two of you! I'm so glad you had a lovely Easter. Ours was as well, we spent it with one of our daughters and her boyfriend, plus family. We had a lovely surprise: Our daughter's boyfriend asked us for her hand in marriage! It looks as if we may be having a December wedding! : )

    Sounds like a nice weekend! Some day I am getting a lamby cake for Easter, if it's the last thing I do.

    Love the photo of you and your sister.

    Someone did an excellent job on that lamby cake! It is easy to tell that the other lady in the picture with you is your sister. :)

    Sisters are the best! The photo of the two of you is wonderful. I spent a little time with my sister and one brother over the weekend. My sister might have the same lamb cake mold. She used to make a lamby cake every year when our children were growing up. I'm glad you carry on the tradition.

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!

  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).
