Thank goodness the party's over!! What a day we had!! Now we have been preparing for this darn party for over a week~~that's why I haven't been here. I've been staining the decks,weeding,mulching,planting planters,cleaning~~things I would have done anyway but not in such a small time span! Got it all done Saturday night after helping my friend at her market part of the day. It rained and was cold and windy~~cleared up right after I left!!
Rushed home after stopping at DD's to take care of her dogs to do my planters~~got them done right before it got dark. Kk and I went out to grab a bite to eat I could have fallen asleep waiting for my food!
Sunday morning I was afraid to look outside to see what the weather was~~but to my surprise the sun was shining and there was no wind!! I was thrilled~~we lucked out!!! Rain was predicted! Kk and I rushed around and got things ready ~~put out all the lawn chair cushions and I hung up some decorations I had. One o'clock was the magic time~~sun's till shining things are looking good~~1:15 rolls around I hear a car pull up and look out~~~first guest is here and there is a mammoth black cloud overhead!!! I can not believe what I'm seeing!!! As they are coming up the driveway it starts sprinkling!! It stops~~more people come and the wind picks up and it's a cold wind and the rain comes!! We're running around getting the chair cushions picked up~~in case it stops they'll be dry. In we all went~~I was so annoyed that I couldn't enjoy myself. I was so tired and then to have it rain was just too much!!
At least the food was plentiful and good~~everyone was joking about the weather but it was still very annoying! The rain stopped and we did get back out but it sure got chilly! That was a good excuse to get a fire going in the Chiminena (that spelling is waaay off~lol) everyone liked that! So despite the weather we ate and drank way too much!! Everyone left around 9:30 and by 10 I had my bath a cup of tea and was headed for bed! Talk about tired~~some party animal! I've decided it's more fun to go to a party at someone else's house!!
Get up this morning and the sun's shining away!! We cleaned up all morning and then Kk and I went out ~~did not feel like doing a darn thing in the house!
Stopped at DD's because she wanted us to see some gardening she got finished. She was so proud of herself! Nice when you see your kids happy and content!
Kk and I brought donuts and pop so we sat out side and they took a much needed break. As we're munching away along comes a huge black cloud and it starts sprinkling!! Maybe it's us???
We left and let them get back to work and we stopped at Barnes and Noble. That's always relaxing. Had my favorite cafe mocha with a shot of raspberry syrup and looked through some gardening books. I'd like to do up some more pots on my back deck. It gets a lot of sun and it's right off my kitchen so I go out there a lot. The decks are getting a bit old and worn looking even after staining them~~the plants make it look so much nicer. I keep a small table and two chairs out there where I like to have coffee and read. There's no roof so it's only for nice days~~and if it's real sunny sometimes it gets too hot to read or knit~~then I move to the yard. One good thing about sitting on the deck tho is there isn't usually any bugs to bother you!
No knitting today or tonight~~not in the mood and I'm tired so I'm going to read some emails and then get to bed early for a change!
Off for tea~~

I'm way beyond
exhausted!! Every bone and muscle aches~~even my hair hurts!! I stained one gallon's worth of the decks today and I've discovered parts I didn't know I had!! It was so nice out~quiet,sunny,warm and I really enjoyed being out there doing it but now I'm so achy!! Here I am covered in stain even in my hair dirty old mulch up to my elbows my jeans were soaked to the knees and I hear "hello" ~~I'm thinking "OH,NO, not company" ~~a friend stopped to say hello and say they'd be over Sunday. I was so embarrassed!! He was just out taking a cruise on his bike and rode by--I was so glad his wife wasn't with him then I would have had to ask them in for coffee or a drink!
Anyway I'm glad they'll make it to the "party".
Poor Sophie had to stay in most of the day~~there was no way I could watch her and try to paint~~I'd be chasing her all over the back yard! So after I soaked in a hot bath I took her out in the yard for a bit. She was running around like mad!! Sure different from the puppy I had a couple weeks ago!!
Needless to say no knitting got done today. Had the button bag outside drying. I did pick up some material to line it so maybe tomorrow I can work on that.
Going to knit a bit now on the Opal socks.
Off to knit

Sometimes you just need a quick project to give you a boost!! Yesterday I decided it was time to try the button hole bag that I've been thinking about! So last evening out came the Lamb's Pride and I was off!! Had errands to do this morning so I didn't get back to it until about 3 this afternoon and finished it up at 10 tonight. Now how could I possibly leave it until tomorrow to felt?? No way could I wait!! Two cycles through the wash and it was done! House reeks of wet wool but hey, it's done!!
I didn't have anything that would fit to block it so I wound up stuffing it with plastic bags and using bag clips to keep the handles nice.
One thing I figured out for future projects~~not all colors felt at the same rate. The Chianti felted rather quickly but the rose took longer. I had taken the bag out of the washer and brought it up to the sink to rinse real good with cold water through the sprayer when I realized it had to go back in. The handles were a bit loose compared to the body. So the second wash was necessary.
Now that's done I can go back and work on my sweater!!
Weather has been nasty again~~mid 50's was the high today but it rained on and off most of the day. Tomorrow is predicted to be somewhat better. I sure hope so ~~KK's day off.
Off to read emails~~

This has been another busy day! Kk and I got up early since it wasn't raining and went to Antique World~~which is really just another way of saying "flea market"! It was sunny but it was really chilly! When the sun hit you it was ok but the clouds were never ending! The breeze was cold! I felt sorry for some of the people that had tables under the trees~~it was darn right cold there! I don't see where it was worth staying for some of them. So much junk!!lol~~
Some times I really get into browsing but not today~~and it was my great idea to go!
Only good thing no $$ was spent! Oh wait, I lied~~I did find a charm for my Italian charm bracelet. I could not pass it up when I saw it had a Boston Terrier on it!! So that was the big buy of the day! We did talk with a couple that had two Bostons with them. One was huge!! It weighed 28 lbs!!! The other was 18~~and her name was Sophie too!! They said they were great dogs and were very happy with them.
When we were on the way home DS called so we picked him up and then picked up DGD. Wound up taking her out for the day. Stopped for lunch/dinner and then drove to the lake. She loved that~~throwing rocks was great fun! Came back here for a while so she could play with Sophie~~she likes her because Sophie is more her size!
I've been working a bit on my orange sleeve. They aren't going to be exactly the same!! I did the increases on the pearl rows on the first sleeve and I'm doing them on the knit this sleeve! Not quite sure how I managed that one! I don't think it will matter in the finished garment?
Kk fell asleep and DS is watching tv~~I hate to take him back to his apartment too early because he doesn't have cable hooked up yet for his tv~~he gets so bored!! Hopefully he'll be able to get it soon. He tried using an antenna but it wouldn't work and I said for $40 take the darn thing back!!
Breaks over~~

Happy Anniversary to Us!!
Today was interesting for sure!! You will never guess in a million years what we did this morning!! And don't be thinking that either!! This required a long drive and much courage on KK's part!! lol~~
We have this beautiful state park about an hour and a half from us~~we used to rent cabins there when the kids were young. We always enjoyed staying there even tho camping isn't exactly my thing! Anyway bright and early we headed out and KK wouldn't tell me where the heck we were going! After driving a bit I knew the route and wondered why we were going to the park again after just being there last week on his day off. Well surprise me he did!! I've been wanting to ride through the woods on horseback not that I'm any great rider but I've gone a few times and enjoyed it.
KK doesn't ~~~
We get got to the park and head right over to where the horses are and all the while I'm thinking this is weird! We got there just as they were unloading the horses from the trailer. There were quite a few babies !! The babies were all loose and wandered where ever they wanted! It was awesome!!
You must sign release forms that are pages long!! Made you wonder if you really wanted to do this! As you can see from the following photos we did!!
It was so great riding through the wood's~~four of us went. We are riding along and Misty's baby would come running up next to us and grab my pant leg!! We passed another group and we somehow picked up another colt!! It was so funny watching the two of them running together loose through the woods~~they were just like little puppies playing! We rode into a clearing where there were some deer and they paid us no mind~~just kept munching away!
We made it back safe and sound~~other than my knee didn't want to straighten when it was time to dismount we were fine!
After leaving that end of the park we went to the other end where they were having a Civil War battle. That was fun to watch. It was so interesting to see all the dresses. I loved them!! It was on the cool side today so they were comfortable in their outfits. Tents were set up and folks were cooking on open fires~~smelled sooo good!
We came back home to feed the dogs and now we are going back out for a bit. Going to get something for dinner and maybe do a bit of shopping. I need to return my broken knitting needle!! That's a must!
Off to change~~

It was a beautiful sunny day today!! It could have been a tad warmer for me but all in all a nice day! Went by so fast~~got up early and had coffee and read a bit then went out and did a couple errands. Got home and took the dogs out in the yard for awhile~~Sophie thinks that Ivy(greyhound) is her special toy!! I'm really surprised that Ivy puts up with her!
Went and picked up DS and when we got back DD was here too! Course when she's here she gets all the animals going! What a pain!! lol~~
KK got home while they were still here and next thing I knew we're having a party here next weekend!! OMG~~do you know how much needs to be done around here???? The back deck needs staining in the worst way and the front porch needs sanding and painting!! Guess who is going to be going nuts this next week?? Wonder how much I'll get done??
Tomorrow is our anniversary! For all those who thought " it'll never last" this is
#36!!!! Can you imagine??? Seems impossible ~~I can't be old enough to be married that long! I was a child bride! I think back to how crazy we were~~we knew each other only three months and here we are 36 years later! We didn't have our daughter for 11 years and we used to joke that we wanted to prove that it wasn't a "have to" thing! Where does the time go???
KK took the day off but as far as I know we don't have anything special planned. I'm sure we'll go somewhere for dinner but don't know what we're doing during the day. Maybe picking out stain?? How exciting!!
Working on the second sleeve of the orange sweater but I broke my needle!! So that is one stop I'll want to make tomorrow~~I need my needles!!
This is a rambling post sort of random thoughts floating around~~my tower is making that weird noise again so I'm getting off for now.

Still Here!!
Well, I'm back and so far nothing has happened with that noise! I haven't heard it at all this evening since I've been on. Keeping fingers crossed ~~ I wouldn't know what to do if I lost this thing! Getting a new one is certainly not in the budget for some time! Since I'm the only one who really uses this it wouldn't be top priority to replace.
Today was really nice! Got up to 70 later in the afternoon. DD is on vacation this week so KK and I picked her up this morning and headed out for the day. KK asked her where she'd like to go ~~she says "Tim Horton's?" lol~~I definitely raised that girl right!! So that was our first stop and then on to the Wednesday flea market waaayyy the heck out in the middle of nowhere!! It's an interesting place to say the least! I've never been to a flea market where they have chickens,calves,turkeys etc. and I do mean live ones!! Lots of flowers of course this time of year. Nice to see all the varieties~~almost makes me want to do "something" in the yard!! Notice I did say "almost". KK did get me a flowering shrub that smells heavenly!! Course I already forgot what it's called!! It has cluster type white flowers~~pretty. I have no idea where I'm going to plant it but I'm sure I'll find a spot.
Finished the first sleeve of the orange sweater. Tomorrow I'll cast on the second one. I'm going to work a bit on the socks tonight before bed.
I'm looking forward to a day to stay home~~all this running around has done me in. Only have to go out for a hair cut in the afternoon and then right back here to knit!
Nothing much else to write about so I'm
Off for a hot bath and then knit~~~

Noise???
I'm jumping on here quick to say that I have a sinking feeling I may be losing my computer!! I haven't posted for awhile because I haven't felt up to par the last week. Now this morning when I came down here I'm hearing this strange sound??? It's the computer tower~all of a sudden it sounds like it's racing then slowing down?? Doesn't sound good whatever it is! At first I thought it was my imagination but no~~
I started my orange sweater~~the first sleeve is almost done~~I'm at the shoulder decreases. There's about 15 more rows then on to the second one.
Weather is nasty again~~cold!! There was a frost last night. Was going to DD's today she's on vacation this week and we were going to start her a garden. Not doing that today!! Poor plants must be shivering in their pots!!
Must get going so if I'm not on for a bit you know what happened!! I'm going to shut this off for the day and I'll try to get on tonight~~wish me luck!!
Sophie is three months today!! Growing like mad all of a sudden!! The photos of her is from yesterday~~leave it to her to find the single dandelion in the back yard!!
Off to visit DD~~~
I started my orange sweater~~the first sleeve is almost done~~I'm at the shoulder decreases. There's about 15 more rows then on to the second one.
Weather is nasty again~~cold!! There was a frost last night. Was going to DD's today she's on vacation this week and we were going to start her a garden. Not doing that today!! Poor plants must be shivering in their pots!!
Must get going so if I'm not on for a bit you know what happened!! I'm going to shut this off for the day and I'll try to get on tonight~~wish me luck!!
