Here we are at another Monday already! And a cold one (like 20 degrees cold). We did wake up to a dusting of snow on Sunday and a few flurries during the day, but nothing much - I think South of us was hit a bit harder. The weekend was nice and started early! First we had breakfast at work (eggs, bagels, meats, etc.) and then we got an e-mail that there would be Eagles snacks in the main kitchen at 1 (which apparently didn't help the Eagles yesterday) and our office closed at 2:30! I actually managed to be productive when I got home and scrubbed both bathrooms, did a couple loads of wash and then made pizza for dinner!
Saturday dawned bright, but bitter cold. I headed up to The Broad Street Grind to meet Dee for some sipping and knitting and chatting. As always, we had such a nice time. I worked on my hat a bit.
I added some garter rows. I'll do a bit more (and a few more garter rows) before I start the crown decreases. The yarn is so soft and warm (I did try it on my head and it fits - yay!!). I just need to Finish it.
Saturday I also drove past the house that Colin & Mailing are buying since I had not seen it in daylight - so cute!! And their offer was accepted last week. I believe settlement will be in February. We are so happy and excited for them.
While I was out with Dee, Fletch un-decorated the tree and put all the ornaments away. Finally! The house is back to normal and clean, which makes me a happy person.
Sunday I ran a couple of errands, thoroughly cleaned the kitchen, took a 2 hour nap (which explains why the hat is not yet finished). All-in-all, a lovely weekend.
Now it's back to the grind....wishing you all the best kind of week!
Rusty would never un-decorate the tree!! He finally ventures in to ask if I need help as I'm putting away the last of it... heh. Have a happy week, Vera!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to Colin & Mailing! I hope the process goes smoothly and they'll be very happy in their new house. How nice that Fletch undecorated while you and Dee were having fun. All in all, it sounds like quite a wonderful weekend!
ReplyDeleteWhat was it about this weekend? It seemed to be made to get things done. Maybe those of us who didn't have snow saw it as a sign. So glad the house is a good house! Congrats to them!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds as though you had a great weekend. Knitting, food, friends and getting Christmas put away. That all adds up to a great use of time in my book! How exciting for Colin and Mailing. We’re still trying to decide what to do in retirement. Right now the plan is that we will probably be moving back to Nebraska to be near family, although we absolutely detest the idea of leaving the Pacific Northwest. We’re debating a house, a condo or an apartment. Big decisions to make in the future. I hope your weekend is a wonderful one. Blessings, Betsy
ReplyDeleteThrilled to hear Colin and Mailin's offer was accepted. I hope the closing process goes well. Wishing you a good week.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a good weekend! And congrats to Coling and Mailing on the house!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great weekend and the wintery weather will help you want to work on finishing up that hat!!!!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great weekend all around. Well . . . maybe except for the football disappointment. I'll bet you and Dee had a great time together! XO
ReplyDeleteMondays do come around. and around. and around. I'm glad you have some good stuff in between! LOVE the news about Colin & Mailing's house - is it close(r) to you? Dee's comment makes me think maybe!
ReplyDeleteHow exciting for Colin and Mailing!!!
ReplyDeleteIt all sounds divine! A cute house.. does that mean it's vintage and charming or is it new construction.. I'm so curious! Don't work too hard this week.
