Good morning gals. Well Friday is finally here. Jack is glad. He now has a cold and is miserable. He feels so bad this morning he is laying in the recliner with the lights off waiting to go to work. Since he took yesterday off for his dental appt he didn't want to take off today too.
I am sitting here listening to the last Harry Potter book. I ordered it from Amazon because it was the cheapest place I could find, even Walmart was about 8$ more. I got free shipping and no tax so....I wanted to take it with me to Indiana to listen to. Takes up the driving time to listen to a book rather than just music. I love how Jim Dale reads the books with all the voices so I actually enjoy the book on CD almost more than reading and I love to read.
Susan: For my birthday, Kelly bought me the KnitPicks Option needle set so I have been having fun with them. I have the other front panel started and hope to get the vest done no later than the beginning of next week. I went ahead and sewed up the back with the one side to see how it would look and it looks nice except it is curling because it is mostly stockinette, but after blocking that will fix that. I need to steam the pockets so I can sew them on. I should get the apple buttons today or tomorrow so I can put them on the pockets before I sew them on the vest. It is the last knitting Christmas project I have to do. I have also started buying the grandkids their presents. Well, actually only Thomas so far. For his birthday his parents bought him this beautifully embossed Cub Scouts scrapbook and I bought him these really cool Crayola tools to use. I bought a measuring instrument that you just roll along and it verbally tells you the measurement, a stapler that doesn't use staples, a cutting tool, and a few other cool things. I have also gotten him two card games, "In a Pickle" and "There's a Moose in the House." He wants a "Life" and a "Clue" game so I imagine we will get him those and 2-3 video games. When he was at the house last he made me a list of video games he wants for Christmas.
Jean: Boy, that has to be miserable, dressing and undressing all day just to try and stay comfortable. Sounds like Bob is really busy this year with the farming.
Rennie: I am already starting on birthday presents for people next year. I like to keep busy.
Wishing a HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Maggie wherever you are!!!! Hope you and Cowboy are having a grand time traveling around the country!
And to Miss Jean, who has a birthday tomorrow, HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you too! Are you doing anything special??
Everyone have a grand weekend!
