Weekends

 


How was your weekend?

My weekend was interesting. We celebrated my dad's 82nd birthday yesterday and it was wonderful to be all together with family and to see him healthy and living large after all those bleak ICU days.

 Unfortunately my husband fell off of his bike on a state park trail near my dad's house before lunch. We ended up at urgent care for a deep cut on his elbow with some stitches. Today he sees a specialist to make sure all the 'foreign bodies' are out of the wound. I am grateful that my step-mom, sister and brother in law assessed the damages because I am not great at the sight of blood, ha ha ha.

Today we get a new furnace and AC installed, I am so excited!!

    I'm glad there is good excitement to go along with the less-than-good! I hope your husband's elbow is free of foreign bodies and the installation goes smoothly. You'll need that AC!

    I’m glad to hear you were able to spend time with your dad, but so sorry to hear about your husband. I hope everything goes well with the installation of the new furnace and AC! It’s always nice to get those things out of the way.

    Oh good grief. It is always something. I hope the wound heals quickly. New AC sounds like a fine idea if expensive. Best to be proactive with the furnace/AC.

    Good luck with the installation of the furnace and AC. It's so important to have a good HVAC system. Our AC went out during a heat wave in 2021 and it was miserable. We got the whole system at our condo replaced then. I hope that whoever buys this place will appreciate that. It was very expensive. At our house, the system works well so far, but it is old so I anticipate having to replace it eventually. Glad you hubby is OK after his fall. So glad you were able to get together with family and celebrate your dad's birthday. Enjoy this week. See you again soon!

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).
