Hello, My goodness ,it has been almost 6 months since I posted. It's like starting all over. I still haven't leanrned to do pictures ,but I do now have the right kind of camera . I guess that's progress. I've been busy doing dishcloths ( all kinds of new patterns) ,a shawl for a bridal shower and a wedding garter ( though it didn't end up being worn.) My two youngest are married . My daughter eloped before her hubby was deployed back in July . She kept it quiet so as not to overshadow the wedding of her brother ,which was in the later part of August.
The knee problem I referred to is going to require a replacement,but I'm trying to stall until after the holidays.
Our kitchen remodel is still going ---- forever. New appliances in ,but no new counter or sink yet . The floor tile is torn off. Will it ever end . It sure doesn't seem so. I am so tired of plaster and cement dust and the whole process. DH can do all the work ,but it takes time and money. The time we have ,the money ,not always.
Colorado looks no closer,becuse even if the market changed ,the house isn't ready. As many others are saying " It wasn't supposed to be this way" refering to retirement.
A lot of things weren't supposed to go this way. The direction of our country is scary. In fact ,the world in general can be very scary.
Latest project is a cable sampler scarf from a pattern in Debbie Macomber's book "Summer on Blossom Street" I would link to it ,but I have forgotton how . I think my daughter has a lot of work to do with me . Ha ha. You can ,however find this lovely pattern in the book or on Debbie's website which is a lovely place to visit.
Hubby and I have been helping our Heather with yardwork as her Keith is gone and her arm si still a problem . Keith is due back Oct 21 so these two can start acting as the newlyweds that they are ( only had two weeks before he deployed). As a Mom -in-law, I can say we got a good one . Keith is a sweet caring guy and we are happy to have him as a part of our family.
The other wedding Ryan and his Molly. They have been together for a while so the wedding seemed anticlimactic. I'm sure they wouldn't want to hear that,but I don't think they even know I have a blog .( which as you can see ,I hardly ever get to).
I would hope that anyone who reads this has good success and progress with their many projects ,no matter what the craft or skill
