Good
Morning!
The
day started out quite dark…like I thought it was dusk…and there was a light
dusting of snow (un-predicted) in the yard and on the cars. It was cold.
But, the sun is out now and shining strong (of course, there is the
prediction of some flurries tonight into tomorrow morning).
I
managed to knit on both the Hitchhiker and the socks yesterday, but no new
pictures to share. Both are coming along
nicely. I hope to knit more on the
Hitchhiker at lunch today. The sock
pattern is a bit fiddly – especially with yarn that seems to split quite easily
– but as long as I take my time and go slowly on the one row with the “knot” it
seems to be working out.
Last
night I decided to start The Library Book (and abandon The Mermaid and
Mrs. Hancock). I think my reading slump
may have ended! I only managed to read a
few chapters before turning out the light, but so far it is holding my
attention.
And,
leaving you with a chuckle: the other
day I was cleaning out my wallet and rediscovered a note that Colin had written
years ago (probably 15 or so years ago) that I had saved. We always
leave notes for each other if we are running out, and Colin learned early on to
do the same.
To Whom It May Concern:
Have gone out at 12:30 to
dismantle framework of society.
Back for dinner.
Love,
Colin
(son)
He
cracks me up and I love his sense of humor.
We are
almost at the weekend and we are at the end of February!! Have a good one.
We all love our kids, but it's really something when we like them and they are fun and wonderful people. Tell Colin to keep working on dismantling; society could use a new framework.
ReplyDeleteI liked The Library Book--I did find that I put it down a lot since there is a lot of jumping around and not a straight-through narrative.
ReplyDeleteOh my, that note is wonderful!!
ReplyDeleteBest. Note. Ever!
ReplyDeleteI love that note! I think he and my boys would get along great with that sense of humor. I am so glad to see February ending. It’s official. We received more snow in February than we have in over 100 years! It was also the coldest one. Hurry up March!
ReplyDeleteBlessings, Betsy
Finally the end of February... even if the weather is yucky, entering March always makes me feel like Spring is on its way!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great note! I think he did what he said. Society is pretty much dismantled as far as I can tell. Lol....
ReplyDeleteI can see why you saved the note, I like the humor! Reading slumps are the worst. I hate when I read a few bad books in a row!
ReplyDeleteHow about you ask Colin to put society back together.. things are cray-cray!!
ReplyDeleteLet's hope the new month brings us nicer weather. ((hugs)), Teresa :-)
Hang in there-the snow has to come to an end soon! That is a great note from your sone; no wonder you saved it!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great note - my favorite part is that last parenthetical :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing that awesome note! I LOVE finding those things!
ReplyDeleteColin is hilarious! And so clever, too.
ReplyDeleteDo let us know what you think of The Library Book. I'm thinking about reading that!
I hope your doctors appointment went OK. The hitchhiker is looking absolutely beautiful. We have actually had five days in a row with no snow! It’s shocking! But since our lows have been below zero for the last several days, what we have isn’t going anywhere.
ReplyDeleteI get very frustrated at the grocery store sometimes. Last Friday morning was like that. The thing that bothers me most is when people stop right in the middle of the aisle so you can’t get around them, and either talk on their phone or to the people there with. Oh well. I hope your afternoon is a lovely one Vera.
Blessings,
Betsy
