Mood – Friday- Happy- Vacation is coming!!!!
WIP - Birthday scarf for a co-worker. Need it done by Monday. Hat for Cindy. And started Amble socks.. although I don’t think I like color. I’ve got my index cards done with the pattern all written out.
What I’m Doing – Getting ready to go on vacation and my DH semi annual Doctors appt. in Seattle. First to Modesto for a softball tournament.. then to Oceanshore, Wa. We will spend a week with my good friend and knitting buddy. Then to the doctor. Pray for my husband if you think of it. I want to go to LYS tonight for Open knitting. I need to look for more PLUM color Galway so I can finish the felted slippers for my DD. (see picture)
What Audio Books I’m Listen To- Since I last posted, I’ve read 4 books and started one that I decided against. Now I’m listening to “Dead Sleep” by Greg Iles and it’s very good. While we’re at the Cabin last week I listen to "Sudden Prey", "Vanishing Acts", "By A Spider’s Thread" and "In the Company of Cheerful Ladies". All good!
Weather - Considerable cloudiness with occasional rain showers. Winds NNW at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 50%. High today 62F Low 46F

Mood– Wednesday- I wanted to post last week but ran out of time. Boy we’ve been having nice weather. Softball is winding down. Big year end tournaments then to Medesto California for year end tournament. Can’t wait. Then to Oceanshores and lots of knitting with my good friend.
WIP - The Chutes and Ladder socks are almost finished. I hope to post a picture here. I don’t know if I can upload to the 6 SOX ring. I’m starting 2 more birthday scarves. I went to my LYS and got some really nice scarf yarn on sale!!!! Also picked up some kids yarn. I need to steer clear of that place! What I’m Doing – Bible school/camp at church was a bust for the knitting class. Only 3 girls signed up. But the rest was a success. My darling husband is going to “Willow Creek” in Chicago for a mens retreat… so we're getting him ready to leave. Then I'll be knitting.
What Audio Books I’m Listen To- I’m on Disk 5 of “The Millionaires” read by Tony Goldwyn. Great read. Spy’s ---Secret Service-- $$$$$$. Good.
Weather - Plentiful sunshine. High 74. Winds NW at 5 to 10 mph. Currently 62 High today near 74 low 57.

1st and foremost - I love the Lord. I love my famiy very much and have worked at the same place for 45 years.Most of all I love being "NaNa" to my grandsons 10,7, 5, and 2 years. I need my Day planner and calendar (just a plain 3x5 notebook.)
I feel lost without my TO DO list. I've worked since I was 14 years old. I've had a library card since I can remember.
I go to libraries when we're on vacation. I started knitting when I was 5 years old. I like to listen to audio books while I'm knitting. Broccoli is my favorite vegetable.
