My daughter and the twins spent the weekend with us.
"E"
"Z"
We baked cookies, played with shrinky dinks, sewed dresses for the twins and made polymer clay buttons.
They went home on Monday and I went into my I-miss-them-so-much mood.
They live three hours away but the distance sucks. I wish we lived closer so we could see each other more often. We have a lot of fun together.
Yesterday I got a surprise at work from Mr. Aitch:
One dozen red roses
My office smells so lovely and fresh. The sun was even shining for part of the day. Spring is on its way.
However, winter isn’t quite ready to leave just yet. Yesterday started out at 51 degrees but by 2:00 pm we had rain mixed with sleet and snow and 34 degrees. Yuck.
This morning it was 24 degrees. Cold enough for my new hat!
Stop saying knitting is something only old ladies do.
I learned to knit when I was a kid. I knit scarves for my friends when I was in high school.
I knit when I became a stay-at-home-mom.
I’ve knit off and on my whole life. I didn’t consider myself “old” then and I certainly don’t consider myself “old” now.
Kids knit. Teenagers knit. Women of all ages knit. Men of all ages knit.
Knitting is not something only old ladies do.
So just stop it.
Happy Groundhog Day! No matter what the groundhog sees or doesn’t see, we’re still having six more weeks of winter.
It’s foggy outside. Very foggy. I don’t know why some people drive 65 mph when they can’t see one car length in front of them. About seven years ago there was a 100+ car pile-up close to where I now work because people drove 65 miles an hour in the fog when they couldn’t see one car length in front of them.
No knitting happened yesterday. I did go to work late once the temperature rose above freezing and I could drive down the driveway and hill to the main road. Sliding a half mile downhill in my car is not my idea of fun.
I am 3/4 of the way done with the special project that I wanted to have finished on Monday. And I still have the left side and sleeve to seam on the papaya cardi.
Am I afraid to finish these? I don’t know. My brain is foggy.
