Baby Blanket

 I used to knit but carpal tunnel has kept me from that activity for quite some time now. I did try crochet and found that it did not bother so much. I knew the very basics but I have been teaching myself with how-to videos on YouTube.

My step grandson now has two little boys.

This is the blanket I made for the new baby.


And I will send a "big brother" gift as well.

    Aw. So sweet. We have to give up so much in this aging process, don't we... sigh. For me it's biking, softball and jogging!

    I have a huge bucket full of yarn. It was stashed away when carpal tunnel hit me. I am better after several surgeries and just might dig around for that yarn to make something for great grands. You have inspired me.

    I am a knitter too. I broke my wrist badly last June and gained a plate and pins. Knitting is bothering me too. I have one more mitten to finish and I may try crocheting. You tube does have some great videos. I always thought crochet is faster, but we shall see. -- Your blanket is very nice.

    Very nice of you to do this. David and I have had carpal tunnel surgeries and benefited from them.

 On September 29, I had the closing on my condo. Everything that was not going to the buyers was out and packed in the ABF moving truck which had by the been taken over to the storage units. Don thought it would take him until Wednesday to finish packing the truck with the help of his son. It took him until late Thursday with Chris' help and mine. Kevin was supposed to help load as well but he was in a mountain bike accident and wrecked his shoulder the week before. That added driving him to doctor appointments to my to do list and dong some shopping for him plus jobs around the house that might need two functioning upper limbs.  We stayed with Kevin on Friday night after the closing and then had a suite in an extended stay place for the coming week. This was the worst possible time to have to get a room because the prices balloon during leaf peeping season if you can even find a room at all. But it was close to the storage units where we were working and it was dog friendly. We ju

Wedding

 Don and I drove to South Carolina to attend the wedding of my step-grandson, Will. Will Will and Katie The wedding took place on Dataw Island, a beautiful outdoor ceremony followed by a reception in the country club. We stayed in a tiny cottage in the historic center of Beaufort, rented from Vrbo. Since the wedding was at 5 p.m., we had time to explore the area a bit. I really like the low country scenery and historical charm. Sitting quietly in the curtained gazebo I was visited by multiple cardinals. They came to visit the feeder, not me, but I can always pretend! How I will always remember Will!

Rest In Peace

 In a summer that has been so wet, Sunday was a reprieve. The humidity dropped and the sun came out. It was a day that could have been special ordered by the family of a friend's husband. It was the day they had arranged his celebration of life ceremony set on the shore of Lake Champlain. I was not looking forward to the gathering, even couched as a celebration. This is a family fraught with relationship tensions. It turned out to be a beautiful day and a beautiful ceremony. A Catholic priest gave a brief but meaningful homily and two Air Force members played "Taps" and presented the American flag to my friend. I am not a Christian, but I do know about Christ Consciousness. That priest's word's filled me with such a sense of peace and love. I hope it did the same for the family members and neighbors who attended.
