It has been nearly a month since I last posted. I did try to post but I could not get the video to load that I wanted to share. It was really cute. It was 3 and 4 year olds playing soccer. They are a hoot to watch. My daughter in law and her sister in law were coaching.
I have a few FO's to show but I have to wait until tomorrow when it is daylight again to take pictures of them. Our knitting group at the Markay is doing a Christmas sell to make money for the Art Theater here in town and we have almost sold everything so we are all knitting our fingers to the bone to make more stuff. I have a baby shrug and cap, a baby sweater and 1 or 2 pair of fingerless gloves and a helix cap that I need to do I cord on and finish off. That will be the end of my contributions as I have already give a baby bunting and 4 scarves. I need to get busy on my own knitting for Christmas now.
Last Thursday (Oct 4) we had a truck get smashed. It was one of our work vehicles and it is a total loss or as our son said, "It is destroyed, Dad" when D asked if we could drive it home that evening. I'll post a picture of it tomorrow. It is just impossible to describe it. I could not believe that it was as bad as J said until I saw the pictures. We had an employee sitting on the tailgate of the truck and luckily God was watching out for him as he only sustained some bruising and a few little puncture wounds. If he had been sitting only 4 or 5 inches to his right he would have been killed. God is good.
A couple of weeks ago D, J, M, MIL and I all went down to a family winery in Gallipolis. We did a wine tasting and when we had finished I had a buzz on (I seldom drink) and I did not even try all of the wines. I did have D get me a bottle of Pink Catawba. I finally opened the bottle just a bit ago and I am having a glass of wine and eating pizza rolls with it. Quite a combination!
Well back to the knitting, I want to finish the cap.
I'll try to post more often.
Thank goodness I'm not the only one that has been taking a break from blogging ;-) I may just hide out until after Halloween. I'm looking forward to the pics and thank goodness nobody was hurt bad with the truck accident. I guess one of the advantages of getting older is that it's a little easier for us to distinguish between "things" and "people" when bad things happen in our lives; loss of things is bad, but loss of people--those are the tragedies. Was there football viewing happening with the wine and pizza rolls? :-)
ReplyDeleteNice to have you back! That truckaccident sounds awful, I'm glad no one was badly injured.I'm looking forward to seeing the knitting! Have a nice week.
ReplyDeleteThank God noone was hurt. Seen the pics in the next post. It's unbelievable that noone was hurt in the accident. I know loosing a truck is a lot of hassle and it may be expensive but at least it's not a life. I hope noone else got hurt in the accident.
