Adding anything to what we're packing is not a good idea right now! This package came from Simply Sock Yarn. I had been wanting the Uneek Sock tiger sock yarn and they had been out of it so when I saw it, I grabbed two of them - one for me and one for Addie. I also got a couple of skeins of striping yarn. When there's a lot going on, socks seem to be my comfort knitting projects. I'm ...
Beaded Shawl
I haven't had as much knitting time as I'd like to have but I think that's expected and understandable. Tomorrow I can start the Camp Loopy August project so I'll put this down and get started on that. The August project requires at least 800 yards. That's a lot of knitting for me in one month - add in the garden, the packing, the trips back and forth to MO. I'll be surprised if I get it ...
Packing
Do not judge, ok? The packers will move the totes so I don't have to unpack all that yarn. We had dry beans stored in the red totes. They were on sale after Christmas for $4 and there's a reason for that! They break and bend and aren't good for much but they definitely are not good for holding about 80 pounds of beans so I repacked all the beans into "extra small" boxes. This is a ...
Dinner Tonight
I've been wanting chile rellenos for a long time but since we aren't eating out, I'd been thinking about making them. We have several kinds of peppers growing that would work but then I thought about making a chile relleno casserole. That would be so much easier. It was delicious but when I looked at this picture, I thought it looked more like something the dog had . . oh, I can't even say it ...
Rita’s Eyes
There is a picture below but it isn't gross but if you don't want to see her . . don't look! I dreaded seeing her and when I did, I was taken aback but within half an hour or so, I was fine. I'm more worried about her hurting herself now. It all has to be terribly tender. We picked her up at the vet, came home, took her out, then fed her, then she played a bit and has seen sleeping. I doubt she ...
People
A couple of caveats here: I'm not much of a people person any more. I was in my younger years but now, life experience has taught me that I'm better of without most people in my life. Maybe a bit sad but it doesn't bother me.I'm tired and there's a lot going on for us right now.I'm not very patient with rude or incompetent people. To start with, the papers were being sent overnight for the ...
