Hi , It's been a bit of time since I posted. I completed 2 afghans -one mile-min and a ripple with drop down stitches . About 10 hats . All of these are going to the folks at Highland Manor in Fallon , Nevada. Some seniors that have little or nothing.
My girl's ship will be in Tues and she and her Dad will be home . He met the ship in Hawaii to come back to San Diego on a " Tiger Cruise " ( a chance for family to experience Navy life aboard a ship, in this case the Ronald Reagan. They will be home just in time for Thanksgiving. I ,also , completed a hat and scarf set during this time and a baby sweater and hat which went out for my nephew's little one . More scarves start and a whole bunch of dishcloths and bookmarks back logged .
I am going to Physical Therapy to strengthen my legs and back and to improve my gait ( that's a fancy way of saying the way I walk)
I am no where close to getting in a holiday spirit . Christmas things were out too soon and I just can't get it together. The scarves will be gifts ,but I never got to some other planned items . Hope everyone else is doing better
Mon , my girl's boy friend and I will head down to San Diego to meet the ship
Hope everyone has a good Thanksgiving.

Hi, it is election day. a scary one because we have so much to fix or to do to get on the right track. No one person is responsible for our mess and no one person will fix it. It has been a long time in the making ,certainly more than eight years or sixteen because many changes take years to affect us. If you are like me ,you have been electioned to death. I wonder how many trees went into all the fliers. I think they would have been better left as trees. It's ,almost over and who ever you chose ,I hope it is the right choice to gain us back some momentum ,to gain us back repect in the world , to straighten out the financial mess , to protect our military. Hope the good Lord helps and watches over us all as we move into the next year. We certainly do need his help and all the other help we can get.
