I have no photos, I am photoless.  :-(

Life here goes on, kids are growing, weather is hot.  Hotter than a thousand suns.  And life is good.

1.  Dad and his fiance, Gail, came to visit and we had a great time.  A nice, relaxing and great time.

2.  My daughter has actually learned how to swim and is no longer refusing to put her face in the water.  Go AG!!

3.  Jack Henry is growing like a weed, pretty much  sleeping through the night and he’s aaaaaalllll boy.

4.  A school has been chosen for AG for next year.  I homeschooled her this past year (didn’t talk about that much) and wanted her to go to a part time, umbrella school type program this year.  Well… that school closed.  I had to get over it and voila!  The kid is registered for a local private school and starts in 4 weeks.  It will be weird having her gone all day but I think she will really do well and enjoy it.

5.  I finished the Traveling Woman shawl and it is on the blocking board.  That would be shawl #3 for the 10 in 2010.

6.  It’s August.  My odds of finishing 10 in 2010 aren’t looking good.  Just sayin’.

7.  I was having sock withdrawals and now I’m knitting a basic, twisted rib sock.  Did the best short row heel of my knitting life.  Almost made me a little misty eyed. (Dang…thanks to spell check I just realized I’ve been misspelling withdrawal for like 40 years!)

8.  Screwed up the front of the above mentioned sock but did I tell ya about that short row heel I’ve got goin’ on???

9.  Casting on Ishbel.  This takes care of two items on my knitting New Years resolutions:  counts toward the 10 in 2010 that I will never get finished and it is a pattern by Ysolda Teague.  Knitting one of her designs was a goal for this year.

10.  Started Couch 2 5K (C25k).  Did run #1 of week #1.  It. was. torture.  But… I completed the entire session and I’m pretty dang proud of that.  I’m going to try for run#2 tonight.

11.  Bought a new guitar.  It’s a Breedlove and I. am. in. luuurrrrrv!!!!  Happy, happy, joy, joy.  Best part: went to lead worship the other night, plugged it in and IT WORKED!!  That is an event that had become kinda rare with my other guitar.

So…that’s about it.  What’s happening on your end of the skein????

  1. Ishbel is a quick knit and you will love it when it’s done! Also C25K kicked my ass. I made it through and then after injuries basically started over again. Keep it up you will be amazed when you get to week 7/8/9 and look back at how little you ran at the beginning and how much you will be running then. keep it up!

  2. How on earth are you doing couch to 5k in this heat?!?! I have it saved because its something I really would love to do, but while it feels like the center of the sun? Not gonna happen.
