WHAT'S HAPPENING - School starts on the 8th of Sept. I am watching a couple of children these last few weeks of summer. I have 2 new kids starting! I am very excited since I had 2 kids leave because they were too old now. So now I am full again! My 2 new kids are young - one is in Kindergarten and one is in 2nd. I think they will both be great additions.
My husband is still working in northern PA most of the time. I see him a couple of days at a time. I never know when it is going to be. He just calls me and says "I'm comin home". He would love to go work in Alaska, like on the ice roads (Ice Road trucking) he would be like 6 months on, 6 months off, and he would make more in 6 months than he does now in 12 months. He has a couple of connections, he just has yet to make the calls.
TV - They chose a winner for Design Star - Emily. She is not who I would have chosen but I do have to admit, I liked her last 2 challenges.
I have a new show that I am watching - "The Glades" (thanks to my mom!) GREAT show! And the star is c-u-t-e!
I can't wait for the fall shows to start, TV is sooooo boring right now!

Great pictures. The socks turned out really cute. The green/blue ones ...is that the yarn you bought here?
ReplyDeleteI love the orange ones TN colors!
Did you show Ashley the scarf I made for you? I loved the softness of the yarn and the color.
I guess I didn't realize you bought so many book while you were here. That was a great bargain on books that we found. You have your reading cut out for you.
Top 5:
1] sweaters-pullovers, hate to make button holes.
2] vests
3] scarfs
4] shrugs
5] dish clothes
anything with a little bit of a challenge but not too much that I get discouraged.
Happy knitting and reading!
