I wear one everyday. I have over two hundred. I stopped counting. This morning, I got this one out and laid it on my bed with my clothes.
Little Miss Flo jumped up on the bed, decided she liked it and ran off with it in her mouth. I managed to get it back before she hid it someplace.
How can something so sweet be so bad? She makes me crazy.

November 20, 2009New Faucet
November 19, 2009
My husband bought this faucet on-line about a year and a half ago. About one year ago he promised he would install it while I was away. About once a month, I remind him that it is still laying on the living room floor in its box. What was his problem? He was afraid he’d screw it up. I reminded him that he can afford to have a plumber do it and that there is a decent one in town. Well…. He called him on Monday and today we have a new faucet! Yea!!
Catalogues
November 18, 2009I always have too many books and magazines on my end table. I get ideas and go digging for stuff to help me decide and I have even more on my table. I try to clean it off once a month, but it’s more apt to be two or three. I was very surprised at the number of catalogues that I had every intension of looking through and never did. Why do I get them? Some, like Patternworks, I haven’t bought from for ten years. Most I also get e-mails from. It makes me crazy.
A Little Sewing, A Little Knitting

That’s it. Olive has been waiting for my lap all afternoon.
Fifth Pair of Baby Socks
November 16, 2009
These were a lot of fun to make. I liked the yarn and the bobble with the I-cord is adorable. I plan to make one more pair, but not yet. I’ve started the baby kimono from IK Holiday Gifts using the Sockotta that I bought in Chester. This is the first magazine that I bought from IK since I stopped subscribing. I actually found several things that I would knit.
Lots of Water
November 15, 2009At least it’s not raining any more. We had some flooding in the yard. I am so glad we had our bulkhead done a foot higher than the rest.
Cora had a grand time. She was outside most of the day. Now, she’s sound asleep on the living room rug.
Here she is checking out some geese.

Rain and Friday
November 14, 2009I am really tired of this. We couldn’t go for a walk so we went to breakfast instead. Then we went food shopping. Later on I washed my hair and showered. Then we went out to eat. That’s it.
Island Yarn Boutique in Chester
November 13, 2009I stopped here this afternoon on my way home. It’s right off the highway, easily off and on. I’ve been wanting to stop for some time, but I am often coming by in the evening. If it hadn’t been for the rain, I would have left last night and once more missed it.
This shop was definitely worth the visit. I’ll be going back. I might even make a special trip. They carry a great variety of yarn that should make a variety of knitters happy. I bought yarn for a baby sweater and, you guessed it, sock yarn. I don’t want to think they only carry light weight yarn. I could easily pick up yarn to make a great beautiful sweater.
We Had Fun
November 12, 2009Jenn and I went up to PA today. It rained off and on and it was cooler, but we still had a good time. We bought lots of great food, had a very nice lunch and found neat stuff at the thrift shop. What more is there?
Compelled
November 11, 2009I knew I wouldn’t be able to do it on the day before Thanksgiving, so i did it today. I puttered around the house for a while, and even ironed a shirt for my son. I finally went out around noon. My first stop was the Joanne’s where I bought Christmas decorations and a magazine. If I remember, I’ll talk about the magazine another time. Then I rode over to Weber’s to buy Winesap apples and four gallons of cider. We’ve tried many cider’s and Weber’s is the best. I also bought cheese bread.
Finally I went to the cemetery. I put a little heart and a tiny sparkly tree each on Nannie and Pop’s graves. For my Louie, I had a little Santa and little presents, the same little heart and tree and a gold star. I told them about the past year’s doings. When I got in my car, I rode past twice, just to make sure it all looked good. I made my way over to the office. I wanted to know where my friend, Ray, was buried. I had a little heart for him, too.
Oh, my. That’s all I can say right know.
