Weekends

 


How was your weekend?

On Saturday, my local family arrived for a picnic at my house. We sat outside for about an hour then headed indoors because the heat became too much. Most of Saturday morning, I got ready for the picnic. I'm so grateful that family brought dishes to share which made my work in the kitchen manageable. After everyone left, I had the house put back together again before I went to bed.

Did I take a photo? Nope. I was in the moment!

On Sunday morning, I went to 7:30 am Mass then came home to do one load of laundry since I did much of the laundry the day before my work was easy. I rested the whole afternoon and evening. I read a ton and knitted a little bit.  As you can see, I am knitting the sweater and I still have that last leg warmer to finish up. It will be done today!

  1. Family gatherings are fun gatherings, especially if you have a place to escape the heat. I'm glad you got everything back together, and I hope you have a few picnic leftovers, too!

  4. Sounds like a great weekend. Family days always wear me.out but I wouldn't trade them for anything. Sunday is also my day of rest and working on crafting projects.

  5. I'm glad your local family could come for a picnic. Isn't it nice to have everything back the way it "should be" before bed? I just love the color you are using for your sweater. That will be a gorgeous Fall piece.

  6. My family all lives close and we don't get together often enough ... so glad y'all made the time to be together. One of the senior ladies I volunteer with is knitting the Felix Cardigan - I'll see her again next week and will share your progress photos for encouragement if that's ok?

  7. A family picnic sounds lovely. I especially like the informality and conviviality of everyone bringing a dish to contribute. I smile when I read that you had the house put back together again. I suspect you are a bit like me. I enjoy getting ready and hosting but it is therapeutic to make order after everyone goes home. I have admired the Felix Sweater so I'll enjoy following your progress.
