Yarn Heaven

Yesterday day after a very long day at work I came home to Yarn Heaven! I pulled into my driveway and a package from Knit Picks was sitting on my doorstep. I could not wait to open the box. I told you in previous post that on Ravelry I particiapated in a contest to see who would be the next Foodnetwork Star. The contestant that was assigned to me won and out of my group I received the prizes. Yarncandie and Straightneedles gave my giftcard's to KnitPicks so I was able to order yarn from KnitPicks. It was my first time ordering and of course I ordered more that the gift card amounts. It was all good because I used the gift card and then paid for the other half of the order. I am posting a picture of the yarn. I am not sure what projects I will use the yarn on at this time. I am happy to have great yarn to add to my stash. I finished reading God Ain't Through Yet, by Mary Monroe and picked up Getting To Happy, by Terry Mcmillan at my local Library. I enjoyed God Ain't Through Yet it is laugh out loud funny. Getting To Happy is the long awaited sequel to Waiting To Exhale. So far so good and I am sure I will enjoy the book. Terry McMillan is one of my favorite Author's. I hope she will continue to produce great novels. It is the weekend and I plan to read and try to finish a few knitting projects.

My Last Day Off!

Well today mark's my last day off and it is back to work tomorrow. If this had been a work day it would still be 10:00 am and my phone would be ringing off the hook! I love and need my job so don't get me wrong, and am thankful that I have a job to get up and go to tomorrow. It is just I like doing nothing better than I do working. I spent the day watching tv and reading. I finished reading God Ain't Through Yet, by Mary Monroe it was a great read and I enjoyed the book. It was laugh out loud funny in several places through out the book. I hope this is not the last in the series! I paid a visit to the Library to find a new book to read. Both of the books I really wanted to read I had to place on hold. One by Michelle Bowen and the second by Terry McMillan. I hope the wait is not to long. They are not knitting or crochet related! I checked out The first book in the Abram's Daughter's Series, by Beverly Lewis, The Covenant and 2 by Lawana Blackwell the Tales of London Series . I am trying to decide which to read first. I knit a few rows on a scarf I've been working on for a longtime now. I am ready for the weekend. I need to get started on a new crochet or knit project. Posting a random picture tonight. Yesterday my daughter and I watched the movie The Time Traveler's Wife, I am not sure I liked the movie, maybe I should read the book so I can understand it more. It was a little to weird for me. I know that a movie can't give all the details that the book will give. I will have to think about this and maybe give the book a try.

My Long Weekend!

Well on Thursday night my long weekend started. On Friday I got up lazed around and made my way to the Library. Went to the library to get direction to Evelen Arces Flea Market it is located at 825 Julian Ave, Thomasville NC 336-472-0244. Paid a visit to Walgreens and I hate going to Walgreens, to pick up a prescription for my Mother. I arrived at Walgreens around 10:06 I pulled up to the drive through and I waited and I waited for some one to come to the window to see me. I watched a worker count money right in front of the drive through window help a few customers in the store but she did not acknowledge me, a worker walked past the window at least two times and did not turn my way. I know someone in side the pharmacy knew I was waiting . I have been inside Walgreens and visited the Pharmacy and I know you can see car's that pull up from inside the pharmacy. As I was stating I pulled in at 10:06 and after I rang a service bell it was almost 10:15 before anyone came to the window and asked me if I was picking up or dropping off a prescription. To top it off after this and the fact that the prescription was ready they could not find my mother prescription. So to make a long story shot it took over 30 minutes to get a prescription that was suppose to be ready for pick up. I was more upset about the fact that I had to wait nearly 15 minutes before anyone approached the window than I was about not being able to find the window. My daughter and my fur grand baby arrived Friday evening and on Saturday we got up and traveled to Thomasville for the flea market. It was great if I wanted to I could have brought a pig, turkey,duck, or chicken. They had lots of vegetables and we brought greens, corn, eggplant, fresh fish. If I knew how to cook blue crab I would have brought some. I am fur baby sitting this weekend. I finished reading Knit in Comfort, by Isabel Sharpe, it was a great easy read and I enjoyed the read. On Friday during my trip to the library I checked out God Ain't through Yet, by Mary Monroe. It is a great read and it is not Crochet or Knit related! Worked a few row of the lasted magic scarf by crazy aunt purl. The best thing about my long weekend is returning to work on Wednesday!!! Posting a picture of Cece she has grow a lot.

Stitch Marker Heaven

I am in stitch marker heaven at this time. I participated in a contest on Ravery during the Next Food Network Star. I won I had two contestant's and one of my contestant's won. It is one of the first time I have won anything. I received a great package from madabouthats.

I can't wait to try the tea, and I am ready to place a stitch marker even if I don't need to use one! I have started my long weekend Labor Day weekend. I am off tomorrow the office is closed on Monday and I am off on Tuesday! I am posting a picture of the things I won on through the Next Food Network Star group on Raverly. Happy hopefully long Labor Day Weekend ! Craft On!

KISS SWAP

I am participating in a swap over on Crochetville it is the KISS(keep it simple swap). It is the first swap I have participated in on Crochetville for some time. I am a very sorry and lazy person and could not work up the energy for a swap. The KISS swap is a dishcloth swap and the keep it simple part meant you send only one dishcloth and on extras. Well I came home today to a nice surprise. I received my dishcloth from my swap partner. Legalwoman17(her Crochetville name. I want to thank her again on this blog for a very pretty star shaped dishcloth in a nice bright color. Once again I have to say it was great to get something in the mail other than a bill. I have a nice long weekend coming and I am glad. I took Friday off our office is closed on Monday and I took off on Tuesday. Just because I be damned if I feel like going to work. I am thankful for my job but I need a break. The picture is of the dishcloth I received from my swap partner.

Another boring Saturday!

Well I have spent another boring Saturday. I spend a lot of these because I have no extra fund's to enjoy myself. I will post a picture of the gift I received from The Next Foodnetwork star contest I participated in over at ravelry . My contestant won The Next Foodnetwork Star so I won the prizes in my group! It is from Knanaknits. I love the yarn and I am trying to figure out what I will knit or crochet with it!

Next Foodnetwork Star

This year I participated in a contest on Ravelry. The Next Foodnetwork Star! The moderator gave you two contestants names divided everyone who signed up for the contest in groups and if at the end of the show your contestant was the winner and became the The Next Foodnetwork Star you received a gift from the other 5 contestants in your group. Well I won! I never win anything. I am thrilled. When I got home today I received a package of some very pretty cotton yarn and a small pack of candy and a bag of tea. I can't wait to try the tea. I love tea. I also received a knit picks gift card from Yarncandie and Straightneedles, now all I have to do is pick the yarn I want. I think it is going to be hard they have great yarn and accessories. I am posting a picture of the yarn I received from Allisonlovesyarn. I did not spend anytime knitting or crocheting this weekend and I had a long day at work. All is well though and I am ready for the weekend.

Working out again!

I finally made it back to the gym yesterday and today. I don't think I made it to the gym but once in July. I will have to start all over again. I walked the treadmill 45 minutes yesterday and today. I am reading a new book so the time did not pass by to slowly while I walked. I had to order the book through books-a-million. The book is by Isabel Sharpe, Knit in Comfort so far so good. While I should be working on my undone sock I have been knitting a scarf for a friend at work. I don't know why I can't make myself finish it? When I am working on it I really do enjoy myself and find it satisfying. It's just hard to make myself start again. I will! I will ! . I am determined to get them finished and posted on my blog and no ravelry before the end of the year. I am ready for another trip to Common Threads. They are offering a scarf work shop at the end of August a very pretty scarf with great yarn. I need to go this weekend to buy my yarn so that I can have it for the work shop. The workshop is between my paydays so this might be tricky.

What happen to the Weekend?

Well once again it is Sunday evening and of course it's work tomorrow. I have spent the weekend knitting Grandmother's Favorite dishcloth's and listening to Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix on cd, and visiting a few of my favorite site's on the Internet. So nothing much has gone on this weekend. One day I will win the lottery and my weekend's will get better.

Flea Battle

It is hot and I am tired. I have a big battle against flea's going on at this time. My poor little kitties have fleas. I have given fleas bath's, flea treatment's and Brewers yeast. The fleas are still taking over. I plan to give both cat's bath's tomorrow after work if we don't have another storm!. I need to clean and spray the garage and all around the house. That will have to wait until payday! Still reading Skein of the Crime, by Maggie Sefton and I ordered a new knit themed book from books-a-million Knit in Comfort, by Isabella Sharpe. Cast on and knit a Grandmother's Favorite Dishcloth. Only a few minute's to go and I will watch Big Brother. So happy that tomorrow is Friday and the weekend is almost here. You have heard this before but this weekend I plan to dedicate my self to finishing my year and some month's sock.

My Saturday Blue's

I have to admit that I have not enjoyed my Saturday. I slept late got up and my Mother wanted to go to the grocery store, I did not but went anyway and then I had to take my Mother and my Niece to Chuckie N Cheese for my cousin's birthday meet my daughter with a GRE book and dog kennel. When I am broke I don't like to travel or do anything. I could stay in the house and not step out of the door. I paid a visit to Books a Million yesterday and they did not have the book I wanted so I had to order the book. I continued to knit another Feather and Fan Dishcloth today and finished it , then cast on a Grandmother's Favorite. I tried to get a good picture of a humming bird moth and a butterfly. Since my camera is not the best and does not capture good picture's of moving object the picture's are not the best in the world but I will post the picture's anyway. Butterflies and hummingbird moth's are not the best model's. I enjoyed a few good hours in the house by myself today and really need more hour's alone. Oh well such is my life and I should get use to my dull life tiresome life.

Hummingbird Moth

So ready for the weekend!

Another long week. Two day's left until the weekend. It is hot and I am tired. Last night I finished the dishcloths I have been working for my Aunt's friend. Still trying to read Skein of the Crime I keep falling asleep while reading. It is not because the book is boring, I think I should decrease my wine intake if I want to stay up at night and read. I cast on another Feather and Fan dishcloth during my lunch break today. I am not sure what I did with my grandmother's favorite pattern. I need to look for it tonight. I am posting a picture of the dishcloth's I am sending my Aunt's friend. I received a magazine from Costco today and found a new knit themed book I want to read Knit in Comfort, by Isabel Sharpe. My local Books a Million might have the book in stock. I need to call tonight to see if the have the book. Posting a picture of the dishcloth's I knit for my Aunt's friend.

The Heat Is On!!!

I am not sure about any other place but the heat is on here in North Carolina. It is Hot Hot Hot! At one time today I thought we would get some rain and a storm because I could hear thunder but the storm past us by. I really need to go out into the garden tomorrow and water the peas if it does not rain over night. I spent the day watching home improvement and cooking shows. I started another dishcloth for my Aunt's friend and it is coming along really well, I am trying hard not to get depressed because I can't afford to take this month's scarf workshop at Common Thread's, I am so tired of living hand to mouth. Next month Common Thread's plans to offer another scarf workshop and I plan to take it. In order to take the class I plan not to go out for lunch and that will save maybe $10.00 I don't go out to eat at lunch time that much. If I get up early next Saturday I can take the cans I have been collecting to the recycling center. Maybe I will have enough money for the class and the yarn. I am posting a picture of the dishcloth I received from the Raverly group dishcloths r us swap partner. Knittergoddss sent a very pretty dishcloth and postcard.

Monday Update

Monday's are hard and exhausting. I wish we could skip Monday. It was a long and busy day at work. I am thankful to have a long busy day at work, if I did not I would not have a home or what little food I can afford to buy. I had a great weekend spent the weekend furbaby sitting and listening to Eclipse , New Moon, and Breaking Dawn on cd. The knitting and crochet front did not get to much of my attention. Puppies are likes babies you have to try your best to keep up with them because the love to put everything in their mouths. Every time I looked around Cece was chewing something. This was after I swept the floor and looked around the floor for items that could be eaten on the floor. I did however manage to cast off a Feather and Fan Dishcloth. So this means only two more dishcloths to go and I will have 6 cloths done for my Aunt's friend. I am very upset with myself because I made an impulse buy on Saturday I brought New Moon on cd and I am listening to the cd at this time. I love books on cd they are very relaxing. No exercise today I think it as been almost a month since I have been at the gym and I won't make it tomorrow either my because I plan to put chicken on the grill for my self and my mother. I am trying to keep her from doing to many things after her surgery. This Friday makes 4 weeks since she had her surgery. She plans to go to her Sister's on Wednesday so I will try to make myself go workout on Wednesday and Thursday.

Friday Eve!

It's Friday eve and I am furgrandbaby sitting for the weekend. My daughter plans to help her boyfriend move this weekend so I am babysitting her puppy. She is such a cute girl. She is sitting in my lap while I blog and listen to New Moon on cd. It is very relaxing. I mailed my dishcloth to my swap partner today. I have a Feather and Fan dishcloth started for my Aunts friend half way finished. This is the weekend I plan to spend with my unfinished sock. I have the house to myself except for the cats and Cece.

A Long Week Ahead

Well the new work week starts tomorrow and I will need to make it through 5 days. No knitting today. I started a feather and fan dishcloth 3 times this weekend and ripped it out 3 times. Still reading Skein of the Crime, by Maggie Sefton. I also read Katie's Redemption, by Patricia Davids. I need to cast on a dishcloth tonight maybe I am not sure. Finishing my sock should be a priority. So tomorrow my plan is to finish the gusset. This time I will keep up and make sure I add my knit row. Common Threads has some great workshops for the summer. Making myself get back into a workout routine has been very hard. I need to start again and I don't want too. Watched New Moon and Harry Potter this weekend. I finished my swap partners dishcloth and plan to mail it off on Thursday. Cece she is such a big girl now.

Busy Bees!

Do you see the busy bees! it would be very nice to say that I have been as busy as the Bees! It goes with out saying that the Bees completed their tasks for the day. This does not appear to be true for me and my projects. Spent time reading and knitting this weekend a long weekend did some work on my bedroom, but it was not enough. I finished a dishcloth that I had planned to give to my Aunt's friend but the bind off was messy and I am not sure when I weave the ends if I can fix the messy bind off so this dishcloth will stay with me. I did finish another dishcloth for my dishcloths r US swap partner only need to weave the ends. My Aunt Patricia brought a pretty bag today when she picked up my Mother I will use it for a new knitting project. The knit clinic on Friday really went well and the screw up on the long awaited sock was fixed and the sock is back on track. On day in the not to distant future I will be able to visit Gate City Yarns this is a self imposed exile. Still reading Skein of the Crime, by Maggie Sefton. Common Threads yarn shop has lots of exciting workshops set for the summer. I hope I can attend some of them, I set reminders for the work shops and I really would love to attend this month and next month's scarf of the month workshops. Posting a picture of a very busy bee visiting the Phlox around my deck!

Independence Day!

It's the fourth of July and we really enjoyed the day. We watched old movies on TMC, put ribs, steak, chicken, and corn on the grill. Then we drove to Archdale to see fireworks. The city I live in did not have fireworks and they have not for the last few years. Asheboro is such a dull city. One day when I Win the lottery I will be able to leave move to a better city. So no reading knitting or crochet today. We have enough food left so no cooking tomorrow. No work tomorrow and I have a vacation day on Tuesday so I am so happy only three days of work next week. Happy Birthday to the USA!

The Last Day Of The Month

Well I am sitting here with only a few hours left in the month of June. When you have no other choice than to work 40 hours per week time just runs together. I am thankful for my job and if I did not have it I would be homeless. My only wish is to win the lottery and not have to work or win it and not have to work living hand to mouth. What that means is it would be nice to pay the bills and have a little money left over at the end of the payday. Cast off the second Grandmother's Favorite Dishcloth and cast on the third. So this weekend I will cast on Feather and Fan Dishcloth and try to knit three before I have to return to work on Wednesday. Tomorrow at 12:00 I will be off work until Wednesday of next week. On Friday I plan to meet my friend for lunch and then off to the knit and crochet Dr for sock help. I am determined to finish the socks I started last year and start a new pair. I am reading Skein of the Crime, by Maggie Sefton. So far a good read. I love a good cozy murder mystery. So cute and sweet.

Another Long Day.

Well my day started almost as early today as it did on Friday. I got up and took my daughter's puppy out feed her and tried to take her out again. Then I made my way to my Aunt's house so all of us could go back to the hospital to see my Mother. She was released from the hospital but it took all day. She did not find out she could leave until around 2:00. So we did not get her to my Aunt's house until after 4: 00 it took them awhile to get the paperwork together. She will spend two nights at my Aunt's house because she has to go back to the hospital on Monday and both me and my Sister have to work. It looks like for the next few weeks I will do the cooking. So I am not sure how much time I will have for the gym. So I am sure it will be like starting over again with kettlebell class since I have missed the last two classes. My daughter picked up Cece today and I really miss the little furbaby! I am posting a picture of the dishcloth and postcard I received from my June swap partner on Ravelry, it is with the dishclothsrus group I belong too. Smorancie was my June swap partner. I plan to take my knitting with me when I visit my Mother tomorrow.

A Very Long Day

My Mother had to have surgery today, she's fine the surgery went well. The day was long because we had to be at the hospital by 6:45am and my Mother did not get taken into surgery until around 1:00pm it seems the Dr had an emergency. So it was after 4:00 before she was out of recovery and in her room. I hope she will be able to come home tomorrow. I did get a chance to read and knit a Grandmother's Favorite Dishcloth while we waited. I think I could have finished more than one if I had knit the whole time and not read some of the book I brought with me. Still puppy sitting my daughter was on vacation all week and tomorrow she in a wedding of her best friend. My Aunt's friend liked the dishcloths I knit for my cousin when he brought his house and so I started today knitting some for her . I plan to knit a few Grandmother's Favorites and few Feather and Fan Dishcloths. I think 3 of each. I am not sure if I will get the chance to workout in the next couple of weeks, I don't want my Mother trying to cook until she recuperates from her surgery. Posting a picture of cuteness itself.

Summer Solstice!

The first day of Summer and the longest day of the year! The weekend was great! I did not knit or Crochet but I have been reading. I am doing a re read at this time, I am reading The confession by Beverly Lewis it is the second book in The Heritage Of Lanncaster County. I managed to get a skein of cotton yarn in a tangle and enlisted my Niece to detangle the skein! I have my dishcloth ready to send my swap partner. I hope to get in an hour or two of knitting time of friend. My Mother has to have surgery on Friday and I hope knitting will help the time pass quickly. My copy of Maggie Sefton's latest in the knitting series Skein of the Crime came in this week to Books-a-million. Flower's from my yard. A daisy and black-eyed Susan.

Go Blogspot!

MYSTERY PLANT

Wow go Blogspot I love the new templates! Well another hot stormy spring day in North Carolina! I have been very lazy and nothing new on the knit or crochet front. All I can tell you is tomorrow is hump day and I am ready for the weekend! I have what is to me a mystery plant and I am hoping on of the few people that stop by my blog will be able to identify this plant. I want to pull it out of my yarn but before I do this I want to make sure it is not poisonous! Then I am posting a very good picture of my Sweet One Hundred Tomato Plant that is on my deck this is the best year yet for my sweet One Hundred! Lot's of little tomato's on this plant and also blooms.

SWEET ONE HUNDRED TOMATO

Still Planting!

Today after work I planted my Basil and a Petite bell pepper. Last night I added a few rows to the Beth's Little Star Afghan. I am really not to sure about the colors. Did not make it to the gym. Tomorrow it kettle bells again. I want build up to two days per week with the kettlebells. We shall see if I can move around after tomorrow night's session. Hell's Kitchen on tonight, it is my first time watching the new season. How it is on to One Big Happy Family. I love the show. I is the story of a family of 4 and at the start of the show all of them weighed over 300 pounds. This season you can really see the progress they have made trying to lose the weight. This is a show on TLC if you have the channel check it out.

My Weekend Almost Over

Well the weekend has drawn to a close. It is Sunday night I am watching the new season of The Next FoodNetwork Star. I added a few rows to the Beth's Little Star Afghan. Spent some of Saturday buying plants and potting soil. Then went to my cousin Meaghan Ayala's dance recital she did a great job and so did the other dancers, but it was a long program. Today I planted a few petunia's in hanging baskets. So far no knitting or crochet. I am waiting to hear from my dishcloth swap partner on what colors she likes before I start her dishcloth. I hope to hear from her soon.

Bad News On My Sock Progess

Well I have been working on the gusset and I just realized today that somewhere along the way, I forgot to add my knit round. I continued the sock working only the decreasing round. So this is such a big screw up! I don't think I will ever get this pair of sock done. I really want to get this sock thing down! I brought another skein of sock yarn and really would like to continue! So I am determine not to give up ! I need another rescue me session. I think I need to make a trip to High Point this weekend. I know the sock needs ripping back so I can start the gusset over again, but I am not brave enough to do this all by myself. My crochet project is going better it is another Beth's Little Star Afghan. It is for my cousin's new baby due in August. I am not so sure on the color but I can't show until after the baby shower. I really need to spend a lot of time crocheting during the next week. The baby shower is next Saturday. I finally participated in a kettlebells class at the gym and I can really fell it! The class involves lots of squats!, and handling a weight. My weight was only 4 pounds. So now I realize just walking the treadmill, doing the elliptical, and the bike is not enough! I am so glad tomorrow is Friday!

Quiet Monday Evening

I am having a quiet Monday evening. My Daughter was here today and we cooked out on the grill in despite on the thunder storm and rain. The storm past quickly and we have a cover on our deck so the grill did not get wet. We grilled chicken and ribs, tried to do corn on the cob and asparagus. Cece was so excited to see Kendra that of course tinkled. I was afraid she would forget who she was but I was wrong. The cats are happy again now that the invader has gone. I miss Cece even though she kept me very busy. Puppies have a lot of energy. I have a few pictures to post of Cece. I could not get her to be still long enough to get a real good picture. My daughter was able to take a good one of her sleeping in her lap today.

Fur Baby Sitting

I have spent the weekend fur baby sitting. My daughter went to Raleigh this weekend and I am baby sitting her puppy . She has a lot of energy. I am just a little worried about her right now because she went in her travel cage and she's just sitting in the cage looking a little sad. She has spent most of her time here playing and running around so maybe she's just tired. So no knitting or crochet in the past week. I think I knit a few rows on my sock on last Sunday. I finished reading Left Over Dead, by Jimmie Ruth Evans. I have read all of the books so far in the series. My container tomato's are progressing and I am thinking of doing a few late plantings in a kiddie pool. It is something my supervisor read about on the internet and told us about last Thursday. What she told us was you get a plastic kiddie pool put a hole in it for drainage, add mulch, potting soil, and top soil. Then add your plants. My Lilies are in bloom.

Middle of the week

Last night I added 3 rows to my long suffering unfinished sock and started reading Leftover Dead, by Jimmie Ruth Evans it is the fifth book in the series. Posting another chicken coop picture. This was a very fancy coop and my camera does not do the coop justice. I could not get a good picture of the chicken's in the coup but I have a good picture of the front, some of the inside of the coop, and sideview. That's my daughter in the picture. This coop came with a sink. This coop looks like a real people could live in it. Tonight is the season finale of The Middle and Modern Family two of my favorite shows both shows make me laugh out loud!

Let's talk Chickens

I really think I would like to have a few chicken's ! I am posting another chicken coup picture and a picture of a few chickens. I knit two rows on my sock last night. Had a long day today but Monday's are always long because on Monday you are to far away from the weekend. I am watching the season finale of House I love the show. Getting ready for True Blood and I need to start an afghan for my cousin's new baby that due in August. I need to work on the washcloth too. I did not work out today my allergies are have been bad the last few days and I spent most of the day coughing. I will no matter what exercise tomorrow. I promise to post a knit or crochet project soon.

Hen-Side The Beltline Tour D' Coop

A very enjoyable day . My daughter and I went to the Tour D'Coop in Raleigh today. It is sponsored by Whole Food market, it is to support Urban Ministries of Wake County. (www.urbanmin.org) The tour consist of chicken coops located in the downtown Raleigh inside the 440 beltline chicken coops. We had a great day! This year they had 20 coop's. My daughter and we made it to 14 out of 20 coop's. If you visit www.hensidethebeltline.blogspot.com you will see a few of the coup's. I am posting a picture of coop #14 tonight and will post other picture's later. We had a great time and had a chance to see great chicken coups and also great garden's! I feel the need to get to work on my back yard! Before we started the tour we made a quick trip into Great Yarn a wonderful yarn shop! Beautiful yarn and the woman in the shop was very friendly! The yarn was beautiful ! We stopped at Mellowmushroom for lunch we had the spinach-artichoke dip and funky chicken pizza. It was great. I want chickens too! Posting a picture of coop #14.

Time For The Gusset

So on Saturday I finished the heel flap, turned the heel, and picked up the stitches on my sock. I am ready to shape the gusset. I brought another skein of sock yarn Harry Potter Opal. Just as soon as I finish my sock I plan to start another pair and promise it will not take a year for me to get the done. I spent a great day yesterday getting help with my sock and then with my daughter and Cece. I will post a picture of total cuteness tonight. We went to visit my grandmother today, it was a good visit. I am reading Bring Your Own Poison, by Jimmie Ruth Evans. The fourth in the trailer park series.
