Weekends

 

Good morning! I'm hoping you have this day off like we do here in the states. It's Labor Day! How was your weekend?

Well... because we saw our son, daughter in law and grandson earlier than planned, we decided to drive up to see my mother in law in London, Ontario this weekend since we had a kennel stay already booked and pre-paid. 

It was a super quick trip leaving on Friday and coming home on Sunday. We had a lovely time seeing her and some other family members. Now we are home sweet blessed home. 

Holly loves when Frodo is not here, so sad but true.


I did a ton of knitting in the car and while sitting and talking on our trip, I finished the sweater body and am now on the first sleeve!

I'm enjoying being home (a home body deep down inside)

How was your weekend?

    I like trips but always look forward to coming home. How nice you got to have a little get away. It gave Holly a little break too. Your sweater is moving along. It will be ready for your cool weather in no time.

    Thank you for telling me your 2023 planner was coming in this week. I was told (via internet search)the new Techno wouldn't be out until October 1! I scurried into Jet Pens and got mine ordered today. So much for trusting the internet for info lol.

    Sounds like a wonderful weekend! Visiting family is always worth it. I love that picture of Holly. She looks so peaceful.
    And nope, we don't have Labour Day today, so it's a work day for us. Both in The Netherlands and on Curaçao Labour Day is on May 1st. I actually looked it up and found out that only the United States, Canada, American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, the Canal Zone, and the Virgin Islands have it in September. ;-)

    Glad you could get away to see family, and I'm glad you are back home again!

    Welcome to Sleeve Island! Glad you could get away to see your MIL...and glad you are back home safe and sound. I'm a home-body too, so I do understand. Our weekend was laid back, nothing special which is the way I like it.

    I'm also a home-body so I understand how nice it is to be home. Although going to see your MIL and other family is also a good thing. Look at that sweater. Road trip knitting is so nice for making progress.

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
