Good morning all! I had a very real dream about my father of all people and it bugged me a bit as my dad has been dead 31 years, so I got up. I hate those kind of dreams. You tend to remember them. It wasn't bad or anything, just sad to think about my dad as he died in his early 50's.
Jean: We have had riotous weather the last couple days. It rained off and on yesterday and it is blowing like the dickens this morning. My wind chime is really going to it out on the deck this morning. Hope you are drying out and your basement is becoming a little more comfortable to get the laundry done in.
Gloria: It was good to see you in hear. Sounds like you got some beautiful new furniture. Was it for your birthday by any chance? I know your birthday is on Tuesday.
I didn't do a darn thing all day until evening yesterday then went upstairs and did everything but the vacuuming. It is a much easier and shorter job so I decided to tackle it around 6 PM last night. Jack will have to drag the vacuum upstairs for me today and I will vacuum up there tomorrow. I am going to do the downstairs in spurts today so that I don't cause anymore problems. They are getting better and going down so I want to keep up the progress.
We are having roast, potatoes, and carrots for dinner today. I can stick it all in the oven and be able to clean and not have to deal with making dinner. I even make the gravy right along with it, but using a package of dry gravy mix and a can of beef broth with a can of water. It comes out perfect and not much mess this way at all.
I have started the second strip on the blanket yesterday and got two of the six squares finished. I also knitted on the cardigan sleeve all day yesterday and have it almost done, about 3 inches to go. Then it is doing the next sleeve, picking up stitches down each front and putting 6 rows of trim on, chain stitching a loop for the button and sewing it all up.
I think we are going to take T to a baseball game for his day out for a good report card in a couple weeks. The Iowa Cubs are playing the Redbirds here on the 28th and 29th so I am waiting to hear if either of those is good for my dd and sil. The Saturday game is an evening game and the Sunday one is an afternoon game. I told her either one would be ok with us. I told Jack he will have to buy all kinds of stuff for Thomas, food and souvenirs since we aren't going to be going to the video game type of stuff this time. I will let he and his Granddad decide what they want to get. I hope to hear from her so I can still get good tickets. They had some great ones on Saturday night still available, 4th row from up from the dugout.
Well, gals, I need to get back to doing what I was doing, namely knitting until Jack gets up and I can make more noise cleaning!
Have a wonderful Sunday!
