Yesterday was a pretty quiet day around here. Schmitt arrived promptly at 7:30 am to begin working on creating the zones for our home. They turned off the heat and as a result, it got rather cold in here. Thankfully, I had plenty of knitwear to keep me warm. I puttered around the house doing […]
Today was a full day! Bill and I went for a nice long walk along the river. We had a great time talking and catching up on how our weeks went. We ran into our friends, Kristy and Brian, and exchanged updates on life and our kids. Our boys are classmates with theirs, Ethan and […]
Yesterday was mostly an admin day. Bill had to work in the afternoon at the Covid clinic but had the morning free since it was technically his day off. We were both industrious. I did elf work for Christmas and Bill patched the hole in the tub. The contractor stopped by and we now have […]
The December days feel especially full with all the usual things and holiday prep on top of that. I got up and did my morning workout on the Bow Flex. I look forward to my exercise in December because many of my favorite knitters and creatives are posting daily holiday vlogs. I knit while I […]
I’m making progress on my knitting but the catching up is going to take a number of days. I’m up to the third day. There is hope that I’ll get current at some point in December as long as I keep on moving forward. Thankfully, today I had a lot of time to knit because […]
Advent and Christmas prep are in the air. I am really enjoying the drive to Mason’s school each day. There are so many festive houses. I often think of Sophia because she loves to show me the decorations in her neighborhood. I specifically snapped this picture for her. Today was the second day of the […]
I started a new pattern for my advent knitting yesterday. I have wanted to make a shrug for some time and I have been stalking patterns forever! The Textured Pop Shrug seems like it will lend itself well to being knit in a scrappy fashion. I cast on and made some progress. It was a […]
Our house woke up slowly today and when it did, we discovered that St. Nick had made a visit. He had left a few small things in the boys’ shoes. They each received an Audible book credit. Mason received Ready Player Two and Walker chose Dragonwatch by Brandon Mull. St. Nick brought Mason a new […]
Mason and Bill sneaked off a few days ago and bought each one of us ornaments to commemorate this year. We added them to the tree as we decorated today. First, I received a dated 2020 Precious Moments, Every Bunny Loves a Christmas Hug, and then a Wonder Woman Rocks guitar which plays a version […]
I found my little extra Christmas spirit this morning on the drive with Mason to school. I asked Siri to shuffle Pop Christmas songs on Apple Music and voila! The tunes met both Mason’s and my satisfaction. After dropping him off, I ran to Starbucks and I was surprised by a love note! The baristas […]
