Kinda of a lazy day...

The weather is what I call perfect.... 60 and only slighty overcast and no wind.... should be outside doing something. This afternoon I will be mowing - again.

Alex will be going to her Grandfathers on Wednesday night to help him get ready for the family camp-out. I just finished Jake (Alex's little brother) an embroidered New Orleans Saints logo on a white sweatshirt. I miss him, haven't seen him in a long time.

I miss my Scott & Derya so much too. I think they are in Arizona right now. Didn't want to bug them with a phone call while they are out having fun, but when they get back hopefully it will be a big marathon phone call so they can fill me in on all their adventures.

Met a very nice lady online today from Etsy, she offered words of encouragement and hopefully a friendship will develope. Well I think I'll try to figure out a few things about blogging and see if I can't get some pictures posted.

God bless your day

Alex is learning to knit!

Hi there - I am a little tired this evening. Great Grandma is teaching Alex to knit. Unlike me she is taking to it immediately....grrrr. I like to crochet, but I am not a knitter. I have spent most of the day going through a secret stash of knitted items that Grandma has, that she would like me to to put on Etsy in my shop. We had to put labels in them, steam & block them, etc. Then price them. It is all very time consuming. Hopefully I'll get them in the shop before the weekend. It was perfect timing for Alex to practice her knitting. Sometimes I wish I didn't need to sleep and could continue to work until everything was done. Dream on... It has been a nice day though.

Saturday I think we're going to the beach with Uncle Kenny. He called yesterday and wants to be our tour guide on Saturday, even offered to drive! Can't beat that. Sounds like fun. For living only about 50 miles from the coast, it has been far to long since we been there. The last time was with my darlings, Scott & Derya. I miss them so much. Kirkland, Washington seems so far away.

I think I will go to bed and maybe I can get up early tomorrow. God bless & Keep you all.
