Can you believe it

I am posting again..................... what is that .................... 3 days this week???  Anyone in shock out there?  Went to knitting last night and took the camera so I could get photos of Gail and I working on each others wee socks for Sock Scrimmage.  Took the last photo today just before I mailed it off to Susan in Oregon.  Bill even knit 11 stitches for me.  He had never knit before and the very small needles were a challenge but he caught on quickly.  This Sock Scrimmage has been fun, rather like a scavenger hunt.




   This is Bill knitting on my wee sock.  His hands are so big they almost engulf the needles.


Gail knitting on my wee sock. That is Tammy giggling beside her and in the background is Gladys.  We haven't seen her in so long we told her we weren't sure  we even remembered her!!!!!!
 That is Gail's wee sock that I am finishing and Dotty is giggling in the background.   There was a lot of giggling going on but I don't remember why.
t Sharon (in red) and Laura both knitting socks.  That is Kathy in the background.
 The above photos are from Knit Night at the Pool Hall last night.  Below is my wee sock at the Port office just before I mailed it.

Clever me ................ I forgot to take a photo of just the sock for my records.  Maybe I can re-size the one from the Post Office.

Most days Jill comes over in the mornings after she drops Shelby off at school.  If we are not up she will make the coffee for me. This morning she made coffee  and brought me a cup when it was ready but it was really, really weak.................................... like there was a faint hint of coffee and it looked like tea............... She forgot to put the coffee in the pot, just filled up the water and turned the machine on. I think things are getting to her. At 10:00  she went off for her appointment at the Lab to get the Holter monitor put on. She wears it for 24 hours and keeps track of her activities.  This will tell them if she has any atrial fibrillation.  The surgeon wants to know this as he can do something about it when she has her open heart surgery next month. Elizabeth stayed with me and we had a good time.  She laughs now and it is a lovely sound. For a change the baby went to sleep very easily just before Jill came back. Jill opens the door ................ Lita starts barking...............Charlie and Princess join in ............................  baby is NO LONGER ASLEEP. ........................ Fortunately we didn't have Bill yellin "SHUT UP "as loud as he can.I am not sure why he continues to do this as the dogs don't listen and he has just increased the noise level a million decibels ( I am sure that is the right number ........... no exaggeration ).  Shortly after this Bill got up and went out;  Jill and Elizabeth left; I went to the Post Office and then came home to nap.

Naps are such a lovely luxury and I can have one when ever I want.................... well almost when ever I want.

  1. Naps ARE lovely, especially when you're supposed to be working but no one's looking . . .
