I do apologize for not posting in over a week. I have been busy and, for at least four days of the time, I was away from home and away from my computer. I will do my best not to be away so long again. (I make that promise to myself, and to anyone else that wants to be included.)
Last Wednesday evening my brother and nephew brought my treadmill over from my parents'. My mother gave me the treadmill back in April but I've had trouble finding help in getting it over to my place. I also only recently convinced my husband to let me bring it here. Now that I have it here, I have to start using it!
I spent the day at my parents' home Thursday with my brother, nephew and his two year old son. I then spent the night at my parents' home. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday I house sat for my friend while she was out of town. I know, BORING.
On the third Tuesday or Wednesday of every month I go to a local church and get help from their food pantry. On any given Saturday, usually the last one of the month, I go to another church's Comfort Kitchen for lunch and help from their pantry. Our situation has developed in such a way that where we once only had to seek help with food once in a while, we now need to do it every month. I hate it. I wish we didn't have to do it. I am, however, grateful that there are places to get help from. If there is a food bank in your area and you are able, please donate.
I have started oldest son's birthday and Christmas gifts, a skinny tie and a pair of socks. (It's ok, he doesn't read the blog!) I have started my mom's Christmas gift, a Swedish Weave blanket/throw in her living room colors. I have youngest son's gift started, a red and white and blue afghan. Dad's gift is about halfway done, a red "Reader's Wrap". I have a handful of cowls made for generic female gifts for whomever. I have a neck scarf about a third done for whomever. Then there is the several UFO's that I have going.........but they'll have to be fitted in in between gift knitting, or so I am telling myself now.
Well I must go for now. Until next time, I'll be stitching madly!
