Good morning to you all! Yesterday was a busy day with the commissary run, a baseball game, followed by the NASCAR race. Unlike last week, the Cubs won and Tony Stewart came in second, so all in all our sports people did ok!
I have the sweater all knitted except knitting on the trim and am holding off on that until I am alone and it is very quiet as I have to pick up over a 100 stitches down the front side of each piece so I have to count how many rows there are and figure out where I should pick up the stitches. I started another strip for t's blanket and started the blue sparkly ribbon sleeveless top. I did the ribbing on straights that tranferred, but the circs were 2 sizes larger and I had a devil of a time. My fingers were so sore by the time I got 200 stitches on the circs and then a row knitted to start. It is now coming right along and will make a very pretty top.
Jean: Sounds like you had a busy day too and maybe today will be the same. Poor Jason, moving into a new area and having to be the one to start everything. When I was growing up we didn't even have home delivery. You had to go to the post office to pick up your mail if you lived in town. The bad thing was you had to rent a box, which I thought was unfair. Even when Jack retired and we lived there for a couple years and to this day, that is the way the mail is done there. You have to rent a box to get your mail. Here you are lucky if you even get your mail, though I have to say, since they transferred our complex to another post office for delivery, it has improved greatly. Instead of 4 in the afternoon, we usually have our mail before noon.
Today is clean the downstairs day. You wouldn't think with only two people the house would get dirty, but it sure does, especially the kitchen. I hate this white linoleum. It pits with age and dirt gets in the pits and does not want to come out so every so often I have to get down on my hands and knees and clean the floor. I can't wait until we can tear it out and put in new flooring.
Well, this is not getting anything done and Jack will probably be up in just a little while. Have a nice Sunday all!
