Update

I have not been on here in a while. My dad passed late May. I moved in July and we welcomed a new member of the family, Conor Hugh Padraig. He is alot quieter than his momma was:))
I have started and stopped so many projects. Just cannot seem to find energy or concentration right now.
I did join the dish rag tag and I am excited about this.
Whoops, phone is ringing

moving in

It has been a while since I posted. My dad's cancer is in the final stages. The hospice nurses started Thursday and he now has a hospital bed. His wife, my stepmom is also not doing well. It appears that she may be in the early stages of Alztimers. My work has closed the office here and moving back to corporate, except the accounting dept., which is me. They are hoping to relocate us in the store. I was to have moved from this apartment to another on Friday. Instead my youngest told me today that she and my grandaughter will be moving back in. And it is raining, I am beginning to think I am in Seattle. And my good friend's mom has also been diagnosed with cancer
As for knitting and my crafts, no new pics. I have not done much, just don't have time or energy to do this.

Sunday in the zoo

Well, the computer crashed and there went all my pictures. Will get them uploaded on the weekend. Made lasagna yesterday and it was great. It was cooler today and the trees are so beautiful in their fall colors. I am still on clue 2 for the mystery stole and 2/3 of the way on grandgirl 2's afghan. Month end is done and went without a hitch. And grandgirl 2's still got all that curly hair. Grandgirl 1 is hitting terrible 2's with a bang and well-working vocal cords.
Saw something on steeking and want to research this more. It would be wonderful to work in the round all the way to the shoulders. It is on Eunny's webpage.

Quiet 3 day weekend

A quiet 3 day weekend. What fun!! I was able to finish grandgirl 1's Halloween costume. I had to chase her yesterday to get the buttons right.

I also worked a bit on grandgirl 2's afghan. I finished 3 Halloween mats and worked on the mystery stole. I also slept and read and watched the idiot box alot. So a great weekend, and a healthy way to get ready for yet another month-end.
