Happy Thanksgiving

THINGS I'M THANKFUL FOR:
My husband, Tom, the love of my life
My Children; Trina, Missy and Tommy. They are all grown up and away from home. I’m proud of them.
My Grandkids; Meghan, Davey, Danielle, Aurora and of course Jack. They make me smile.
My Mother, Bettie Smith, who has always supported me and has never doubted my abilities.
My Sister, Cindy, who is always there when needed.
My Brothers, Rowland and Billy. Rowland is always ready with a “story” that makes you laugh. Although Billy and I are not as close as we used to be, I still love him.
Last but not least, I’m thankful for my best friend, Lucy. No matter what, she’s always there for me.

More Christmas Knitting?

Proof that I've been knitting. Not sure how much more I'll get done. I took a fall down the stairs this morning. Just trying to bring the laundary downstairs, lost my footing and came down on my left side. Boy does my butt hurt!

What wwas I thinking??? To much knitting left to do, and too little time left before the mailing dead line!
Finished items:
2 Baby Sweaters (for my best friend's pending grandchild)
1 Baby blanket (again for Lucy)
2 Baby hats (Lucy, do you see a pattern here?)
5 Adult hats
4 scarfs
3 Adult sweaters
6 Christmas stockings
2 Shaws
2 Pair of socks

Unfished or not started:
6 Christmas Stockings
2 Adult sweaters
2 pairs of socks
4 pairs of dorm boots

Maybe, I'll just send "IOU" cards and forget about trying to make the deadline.... maybe not.

Family visit

Tom's Aunt Micky and her husband, Helmut spent the weekend with us. We took them to the Base to check out the "Mall". Dinner was at Chilli's and they loved it. "Just like being in the States". After dinner we played slots for awhile. Both Micky and Helmut came out ahead. Tom and I both were losers, as usual.

We stayed up late (for us) talking. I was able to knit while we talked. Good thing too, as I'm really behind on my Christmas knitting. Do you think receiving your Christams sweater in April is a bad thing?

New office

So I started my new job yesterday. Today they delivered the furniture. Here's my empty office and the view from my window.
