Weekending

 Hello and Good Morning,

It appears that once again Monday has rolled around.  (Once again) I did not sleep well and then when I finally did fall back asleep, I woke up much later than usual...so I'm a bit behind the 8-ball this morning.  I have a conference call in less than an hour that I need to get ready for and emails that came through over the weekend that are demanding my attention.

BUT, I do have something to share and show you!  On Saturday, Dee and I met up in the morning for a bit of therapy - you know:  sipping coffee, chatting and a bit of knitting.  She brought along "Creepy Cranky Christmas Guy."  Well!  I showed him my completed sock and then I caught him trying to steal it!!


There is no denying it - the sock had been lying flat on the table and by the time I picked up my phone he had grabbed the sock!  You really need to watch him - LOL.

The balance of the weekend was filled with other stuff - laundry, ripping out some stitching (yup - had to frog part of that impossible to see border on the big sampler) and a little cooking.  Also grabbing some stuff from our neighbor's garden (they are in the Outer Banks and Rob texted to help ourselves to the garden).  Fletch grilled some delicious lamb chops on Saturday and I ocoked up some scallops last night.  I also made a little bit of tomato jam which is delicious!

Well, that does it for me - I need to get to work.  Hope everyone is having a good start to the week!

  11. There must have been something in the air last night, as I didn't sleep well either. You are lucky to get together with Dee! We used to meet when she was in FLA as we often went there in the winter. And you gotta watch that cranky guy; he's a cagey one.

  12. Oh that Creepy Cranky Christmas guy. Why would he need a warm sock when he has a red solo cup?
