• cold, frosty but no snow weather
• housecleaning to get ready for the 13 people I am hosting on Thanksgiving
• grocery shopping
• reading: finished Quality of Life Report, which I liked, but did not love....now reading Prayers For Sale by Sandra Dallas, and I am loving it...her books just draw you in on page one!
• listening to Christmas music, on my computer, pandora, and now the local station that is streaming
• wind symphony concert for Sam--a special performance at the Pantages Theater in downtown Tacoma.

• sent Lyddie her first letter since they moved across the state last weekend
• recovered from the stomach flu (again!)
• still recovering from the cold which followed--trying desperately to keep asthma under control
• knitting.....lots of knitting--a separate post will be up later regarding that topic
• getting ready to sew this cute little owl for Lyddie---she turned 2 and we are celebrating next weekend.

How was your weekend? Tell me!

Until next time.....

(Adelaide, age 2 & Amelia, age 6 months)

Beautiful leaves
Walks
Blue skies
Knitting--lots!
Reading--a little
Laundry
Picking up toys and loving on my sweetest little Grandy's! They are here for a week and then moving 3-4 hours away next Friday--my heart is sad as the end of my time as a pretty present Mimi in their lives is coming to a close. There really is no way to describe Grandma love!

In knitting news: I am still plugging along with all my projects, only now I am feeling pressure to start the second KAL that Knit Purl Hunter is running--socks!! Not just any sock but two at a time socks. I have never knit socks before so this truly will be a challenge I will post pictures next week--right now I have two Grandbabies and two extremely tired parents zonked out in the den where the camera and desktop computer are located. I did want to share this pattern link to an adorable pair of fingerless mitts is located. Kate from Good Purl Gone Bad shared her finished pair which she knit up for her little Miss. I don't know about all of you, but here in the damp Northwest, it is time to have some mitts to pull out. I can't wait to make these for Adelaide and to find a pattern for myself to wear!

Until next time....,
