I haven’t done any sewing since I got back and that was over a week ago. I haven’t done as much knitting as I want either. And I don’t think I’ll catch up on my reading. Everyday, I have to go somewhere and it seems to take a lot longer than planned and I haven’t taken Olive to the vet yet. Tomorrow, wehave to do some cleaning before the neighbors come over. I guess I should have called this one, “Today’s Rant”.

Turtlenecks
November 19, 2008I rode over to LL Bean near Rehboth Beach this afternoon. I could use some new turtlenecks, but I didn’t have any luck. All they had in my size was blue. Not only is it not my favorite color, I already have two. They didn’t have any in my daughter’s size either. They were all regular, no talls. She not all that tall. She has a long body like me. At least she doesn’t have my short legs.
I found dishes with pine cones on them for Paul and Linda. Linda has decorated her kitchen with them. This set has four mugs, four bowls, four dinner plates and four luncheon plates. I don’t know about Paul, but Linda will love them. Paul may be sick of pine cones for all I know. But I do let him play with my cats.
I also bought one of those cutesy fire starter kits for my son-in-law. I never know what to give him anyway.

I got this kit at a shop in Lewes. I don’t know yet whether I am going to give it as is or make it for someone. Since the shop in about half a block from the ocean, I drove down there to have a look. It was very windy with big waves. I wouldn’t have gotten in if it was ninety degrees, but there were some people sitting on the beach. Me? I didn’t even get out of the car.
Shadow Purse
November 18, 2008I finished it this afternoon. Now I’m not sure what I am going to do with it.
Knitting in Snow Hill
November 17, 2008Since we can’t knit at the bookstore, we went to the yarn shop in Snow Hill. It took about an hour and a quarter to get there. I looked around and bought some of those new square needles and a few skeins of yarn. If it weren’t for group, I wouldn’t go there. It was a nice shop. She had good stuff, but it’s not near anything else that would give me a reason to head that way. My little shadow purse is almost finished so I should have a picture in another day or two.
Little Olive is adjusting to her new home. Maude watches her playing. It’s just a matter of time before she will join in the fun. Zip is still upset and he is mad at everyone so it will take him longer. Gus, being the goofy idiot he is, scares the daylights out of Olive. She has hit him several times. He doesn’t understand. All he wants to do is lick her all over. Friday evening,when the neighbors were over, Paul was holding Olive. Gus was so upset, he went over to Doug leaned against him and whined. We all laughed at him which made things worse.
I took about a dozen pictures before I got this one.
I Think I was Busy
November 16, 2008Not much was accomplished today. I did things. I just didn’t finish anything. I hate that. I honestly thought that I would complete my little knitting project from last Friday and be able to show it to you. It didn’t happen. Maybe tomorrow, but Idoubt it. Knitting group is tomorrow so maybe I will. I’m picking up Leslie and we are driving down to Snow Hill. We’ve never been there so we are planning on getting lost together. Maybe I’d better put an extra granola bar in my knitting bag.
New Einstein
November 14, 2008I had palanned to show what I bought today, but I’m still disorganized. At this rate, it’l be two weeks before I have recovered. Then there’s Thanksgiving, shopping, Christmas and New Year. So, I’m thinking maybe February. It’s the middle of winter. Sounds good to me.
In the meantime, I have all these unfinished projects. I have one red sock, one shadow purse and one miniature sleeve to finish. After that, I can get back to my star sweater. But, my Einstein is finished—-I think. At least I can’t think of anything else I currently want to do with it. I put on another collar last night, decided it didn’t look awful and used the same stuff to add little cuffs. They may not look like much, but the yarn is a wool, angora blend and it feels really soft.
The flowers turned out well and I even made a little flowered flower pot.
I still don’t know what to do with the back. Maybe I’ll make some colored trees and remove the same colored ones.

I’m Home
November 13, 2008I’m tired. I’m going to bed.
Intercourse
November 12, 2008Jenn and I had lunch in Intercourse PA today. We had just finished shopping except for the meat. The thrift shop was closed due to renovations so we checked a couple of different shops. I bought some apples for pies and a bunch of other stuff that you can’t find elsewhere. As a matter of fact, I’m munching on some flat pretzels now.
On the way home, we stopped and picked up the kitten. She’s hiding in the back parlor so I put some water and
chow in there and a little blanket in a dark corner. There is all ready a potty in there. Win’s cat has no idea what she is.
When she saw her, she ran back upstairs. I’m going to call her Olive.
