Summer's Bounty

It has been a productive summer. The garden is winding down. Still picking lots of tomatoes and tomatillos. Starting to get some canteloupe, but that is a battle beating the bugs.

I have slowed down a bit on the Socks For Soldiers after having my over enthusiasm questioned. I still have a pair on the needles at all times, but now I am getting some other projects done.

Have fifteen items entered in the county fair this fall and hope to bring home a few more ribbons.

Got a clean bill of health from the heart doctor I recently saw. I was sent there after a weird dizzy spell. Heart and circulation good, no explanation of the dizzies, no repeat of that either thank heaven.

Recovering and Knitting

It has been a while since I updated my blog. Breaking my shoulder really slowed everything down. I still managed to get a lot of knitting done. Broke my own record for sending socks to SFS!!!

I finished a pair of socks I started last year. They were a special request from Kim, but I had to wait to get a size. Almost forgot what pattern and where it was. Luckily I had put all the information in the bag with the yarn.

North to Red Bluff

Took off for a great trip to meet our newest great grandchild, Warren Parker. 

 We had a great visit with every

one and a chance to spend some time with Michelle, Rock, Cora and Lania.

We had a woderful visit and trip until we were almost home.   Mandy, the wonder dog, tried to catch a ground squirrel and took me flying. Dislocated and broke my right shoulder. Things are healing and I am starting to knit again.  Looking forward to Maryanne's wedding in April.

Visit from Donald and Joyce

A visit from the north.

Donald surprised us with a visit from the north. He arrived in on the wings of one of the rain and wind storms that have been coming at us this February.  We had a nice visit even though they were unable to take a trip into the desert, it was covered in snow! 

Instead they headed home by way of the coast. Donald is finding himself with a bit more time on his hands these days as he searches for a new job.  His health is good and he is enjoying life.
