I went up to Reisterstown this morning. It was time for our semi-annual get together. There were five of us this time. I was looking for Agnes, but she never showed up. The Powers That Be have changed the road and put in a couple of those stupid round about things. I understand the by-pass, but the other is down right ridiculous. Two of the “girls” got completely turned and we were beginning to think they weren’t coming. All in all we had a great time and I didn’t get back to the house until 430. My son came home from work about 5 and we went out to eat. Afterwards, we went shopping for clothes for work. A Mom’s got to do what a Mom’s got to do. I bought him a blender. I don’t have much use for mine, but it’s not a separate unit. Now I am going to try to do some knitting before bed.

Girls Day Out
November 10, 2009Standard Time
November 8, 2009It’s not even 6PM and it’s black outside. I can’t stand it. And it’s only November. It was warm enough today to sit outside and knit today. I had to stop around 330 because the sun was too low. This bites.
Tomorrow I’m meeting the “girls” for lunch at the pizza place in Hampstead. Wednesday, I’m going to Amish country with my daughter.
That’s it. I have to pack. See you.
Sewing Today
November 8, 2009I just don’t understand why I find cutting out and sewing little squares together. There is something else I don’t understand. After carefully cutting, the pieces are not exact when sewn together. Sometimes I wonder how I ever managed to make a queen size quilt.
Heat
November 6, 2009We finally turned it on this afternoon. We go through this every year. Do we turn it on or grin and bear it? It was all right when we were trying to clean for company this evening. But then it was time to shower and my bathroom is cooler than the rest of the house. And Flo kept trying to adhere herself to us. So, you know where her vote went. We did find one alternative.
There’s nothing like fleece to keep a gal warm. She stayed in there for about two hours. Do you think that if I made her a body suit, she would wear it?
New Purse
November 6, 2009I couldn’t help myself. Doug wanted to get new Reebok. There is one style that he really likes so we went to the outlets by Rehoboth. He bought two pairs. I went over to Fossil. I was going to look at wallets, which I did, but I saw a beautiful purse that I had to have. Also, I got 20% off. I guess I’ll have to take a picture. I also bought a pair of Skechers and slippers at LL Bean. I did a lot better than when I went to Vernon Powell last week.
Next, we went to BJs. They had the yogurt I wanted, but not the dish detergent. I bought a big bag of Honeycrisp apples so I’m happy. When we got home, Doug ate two pieces of raisin bread so I had one, too. I wound up making pot stickers and mixed vegetables for supper.
More Baby Socks
November 5, 2009
I couldn’t decide on which picture to put up, so here’s both. These were definitely the most fun to make. And the color is great, too.
These were esy to make, but I made a bad yarn choice on this one. I also think they would have looked better if I had used a thinner yarn and smaller needles. I still plan on making two more pair before going on to something else.
Here’s my new sock kit. The varigated yarn is sparkly! OOO!
It was only in the mid-fifties today, but it wasn’t windy. We walked around the horse farm and then down to the river. It was so beautiful sitting out on the pier. And so quiet. I loved it. I love living here.
Two Cats in My Lap
November 4, 2009It makes for very difficult blogging. I’ve got two more baby socks to show you and some great pictures of Cora.
Suddenly, It Feels Like Winter
November 2, 2009The damp, chilly air is getting to me and it’s dark by the time I start fixing supper. Last week there were leaves on the trees.
Now, there’s hardly any leaves left. I can’t stand it.
I was going to blog every day this month, but I’ve all ready blown that. I never even gave it a thought yesterday. I can use the excuse that I was out most of the day, but I didn’t leave until almost 2PM and I was home by 830. I’m still working on baby socks. I’ve got three and a half pairs finished. I also have another sock kit to make.
