OK – it’s been waayyy to long. I have had a good year, lots
of changes. Most radical is that The Man is now That Man!! Bittersweet but for
the best. High hopes and expectations don’t always get you what you need.
Family is wonderful. The Geek is still that – starting his
own company and so far so good. A lovely girlfriend to boot! He deserves it!
The Wanderer has settled for the time being at home with me
and working a job that seems just right for her. Lots of hiking in her future. We are looking forward to eating lots of
veggies (That Man didn’t eat green), although we didn’t plant a garden this
summer – we have puppies instead!
The nurse is still in Oklahoma – living her dream! Lots of
babies to be brought into the world and a nice group of co-workers. Not so much
The Boyfriend – he departed rather quickly after getting settled in
Oklahoma….too bad – his loss! Fort Sill is nearby and she seems to be taking
advantage of the dating opportunities!
The puppies – The Wanderer’s Chocolate Lab – Wally (8 months)
and my English Springer Spaniel – Gracie (6 months). They are so much fun and
entertaining – but like all puppies they are trouble makers. I assumed two at a
time would keep then each out of trouble – no such luck. They are obviously
great friends and play very well together…at least they are tired at night!
Their personalities are totally different. Wally is so laid back for a lab –
just quiet, calm and snuggly (difficult for a big boy). Gracie on the other
hand is completely opposite, very excited, happy and springy!!! Never ending
energy!
Of course I have been knitting. Working on a hooded vest
for the Wanderer.
Looks spectacular- only uses two different colorways of yarn
– makes it real easy!! Did some modification for the neckline instead of
cutting to shape. Working out well and can’t wait to finish. Ready to move on
to next project – either a shawl or sweater for me. I should start on
Christmas! Luckily I have some things all planned out – just need to start!
I am, as always, really enjoying my knitting group – The
Twisted Stitchers. We have some very accomplished knitters that meet weekly at
our new LYS
Great store – am glad it’s in our town!
Life is good. I will try to catch up more often now that I
have one less person to look after!!
