Morning, It's been a bit of time since I posted. Hubby is back from his job and is waiting to be paid. I finished the last stocking that ,I was working on . Have done a bunch of hats and a diagonal afghan to send to my sister for haer work. she may change jobs,but says there is still a need . She's in a bad situation with a new supervisor. It sounds from her description as if he is sexually harassing the female employees. She's looking for a job with benefits. Jobs aren hard to come by for a lt of people ,but she is in a small town,so it seems worse.
Recently , I started using my own bags for grocery shopping. They are all crocheted. I have figured out what works best ( wider openings and a bit more space) They all stretch ,but some are better than others. It's a great way to use leftover cotton yarn ,though I come up with some starange color combinations.
Hubby and I hope to head to Colorado for about a week. We need to get the palce ready for winter. No idea any more when we may move . With Real Estate and Stock Market going crazy, no one wants to make any unnecessary moves.

My girl is still on deployment and not due back until almost the end of Nov. She used to call everyday ,sometimes many times. Her Dad would get annoyed at all our calls ,but I sure do miss them. She is my craft buddy. We aren't together - a couple hours apart ,but we compare and visit .
Well , I guess I just have to wait.
Enjoy your weekend as we head into fall. Hope you are getting some fall temps . Wishing we were LOl

Wow, It's been a while since I've written anything. I have completed many dishcloths . 4 out of 5 stockings are done. I have been asked by my sister if I will do an occasional afghan for the convelscent Hosp that she works at. She says that even after many years of life some people have very little. That's a pretty sad comment on life ,isn't it? I am tired of being alone. Even a house full of cats and daily phone calls from hubby plus voices on the TV doesn't cut it. Tomorrow , I'll go to a retiree lunch and have human contact for at least an hour or two. I ahve come to the conclusion that having alone time is great as long as it isn't all the time.
I should have set myself a goal to finish a bunch of UFO's while hubby was gone ,but I didn't . I jsut imersed my self in dishcloths and stockings. I think this week I'll see what I can put together to start at least one afghan for my sisters job.
