Morning gals. Again with the hot weather, sigh. I am ready for fall since I can't swim anymore.
I am stuck with the blanket until I can go and get more yarn. I need about 2 more skeins. So far the thing has cost me about 35$ and each skein is $4 so around $45 and that doesn't even count having to buy needles and such. Ahh well, I have enjoyed doing it and am really making headway on Thomas's scarf now that I am not doing the blanket. I have to go clear across town to get yarn, so will probably wait until next week when I get some for another scarf. I decided last night to make each of the adult kids a scarf and give them leather gloves as part of their Christmas gift instead of just my dd and sil. I downloaded a couple different scarf patterns that I know my dil will love with fuzzy yarn sort of like the baby stuff I am using.
Jean: We went to T's soccer game last night (they lost 6-5) and came home and the gas had dropped 10 cents in that time and it is $2.89 now. I figure it will drop some more with crude oil dropping, the Katrina thing over in a fashion and the holiday over. I hope so as we are going to Indiana for Thanksgiving and I don't want to have to spend $100 each way as I am predicting we will. I guess gone are the days of well behaved kids that can be taken out on the school lawns for classes when it is too hot, which is what we used to do. Our school had no AC, but it was only one level and we only had around 300 kids total in the high school. My graduating class was around 68 I think. You know everyone that way that is for sure!
I guess I better get the rest of the chores done. Oh Jean, have you seen that new thing that just came out from Swiffer for carpets? I thought of you talking about cat hair cleanup when I saw it. Wonder if it works?
Have a great day! Maggie, wherever you are we miss you!!!!!
