Weekends


This weekend has been relaxing and calm.  Even Frodo looks like he is taking time to smell the lilies. 

My weekend included:

-tons of reading
-finishing the washcloths as a knitting palate cleanser, gearing up for a new cast on.
-time spent with my family, lots of talking, eating good food and being together
-because I'm with my family, the photos are minimal.  I tend to be in the moment when we are all together
-sunshine and summery weather (finally)
-loving life


How was your weekend?

    Your weekend sounds wonderful! Mine was great too, though I am a bit envious of the family part of yours ;-)

    The weekend was fun. Fireman and I went to a scooter festival in town. Lots to do in a tourist town in the warm months. Zach joined us yesterday, and is staying for a bit! Weekend highlight: watching the Cubs with my guys

    Sounds like a lovely weekend Karen. I managed to do some of what I had hoped to do, and there was knitting - minimal, but knitting!

    It was a wonderful weekend! And, it looks like you spent some time with one of my very favorite books - A Gentleman in Moscow!

    My weekend was spent doing a few chores and sitting in the warm sunshine, though it was a bit windy too. It rained a bit too, so very strange. I've read my book and that's about it. Love the photo of Frodo sniffing the Lilies, Cx

    It was a good one of ohana, good eats, and some R&R.

    I attended a baby shower for my niece, took a walk after rain cleared late Sunday morning. Some knitting - some FaceTime with the grands. Life is good.

    Our weekend was good. Last week included time with our son and his family from Maine! Friday evening we all went out to a restaurant they enjoy when they come here. Saturday morning they left around 6:00 and I started doing some cleaning. Sunday was church, morning and evening. We had two beautiful days Saturday and Sunday...no rain! Your weekend sounds lovely!

    A Gentleman in Moscow is showing up in so many book stacks. I tried to read it about a year ago. Maybe I need to try again.

    Sounds like a wonderful weekend. I like those washcloths. What kind of yarn is that?

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
