Viewers beware

I know I should have not taken this picture or even blog about it, but I could not help myself. Maverick, he is so cute showing laying there in his favorite pose.

He just likes lay there under the coffee table all sprawled out for any one can see. He is just laying there right now just like the photo.

I hope everyone is enjoying the sun. Stay cool

A week after the 4th

I can't believe that the 4th of July was here and gone. With our new shift I was able to have it off. I drove up and had the 4th with my family. We had a big dinner spread with BBQ chicken and ribs and all the other fixing that go along with 4th. Bev had to make two strawberry rhubarb pies. She made the first one on Thursday night, I told her it would not last until Friday I was right. She had to come home from work and make another they were other wonderfully good.

Then came the fireworks. I got to help Tony and my dad let them off. We were and trying to light 3 fireworks off at a time. Sometimes we did and most of the time I missed up and did not get mine light in time. I will tell you one thing it was a blast.

On with way home I stop at Apple Yarns. I got to check out their new store. I also had to buy some new yarn. I did get some knitting done while I was up at Mom and Dad's house. Now I have one sock done. I've cast on for the next one but I haven't started knitting it yet. We've been very busy cleaning the house getting ready for family to show up. Kristina and Kirstin will be here in one more week. YIPPY. That is it for now, I will try my hardest to write more later.

A new month

I can't believe it is July already, here has the time gone? The last two weeks have been very emotional for me. It start off when my boss said that we will be losing one supervisor and 1 coordinators position (which is my job) on June 27. The kicker part is she would find out on the 27th and your last day would be the 27th. For a week and half I was worried sick that I would not have a job come July. The black Friday rolled in and I found out I still had a job, but my favorite supervisor would be retiring after 35 yrs. I'm really said to see him go, the worst part is now who is going to buy me McDonald on the week end? The only thing that came out of all this is now I'm working on a set schedule. Hour hours are 1000-2030 and I have 3 days off Thr, Fri, and Sat. I now have the 4th of July off.



As for the knitting side of my life. It has been on the back burn since I've come home from Iowa. I finally started knitting again on Sunday, but I haven't gotten far on the sock due to I can't find the time.



I have only 14 more days until my family start showing up for a visit. I've gotta start working more on my guest room. I've currents for the room. Nothing big I just bought sheets and sewed them together easy and cheep. But I've got to get the bed cleaned off so some one can sleep in it.

New Toy

Ok, I finally broke and did it. I went and bought me a Wii. Now I can bowl when ever I want. The fist game I bowled a 141. Yah me!!!

Happy Anniversary

Well If you can believe this Brian and I have been married now for 12 years. It still seems like yesterday that we were get married. We went and bought part of our present today it was a 37" flat screen TV that was mainly Brian's part. We are still waiting on getting what I want. A Wii. I had fun playing with Deb's when I was going back in Iowa now I want one of my own.

A lot has happen since my last blog. First I went on vacation at the end of May to my sister Deb's house in Cedar Rapids Iowa. I went and saw Kirstin Jo's play at school, watched her play softball and do gymnastics. We had a blast everyone doing great. I just spoke with Deb the other day and she and the girls are doing fine and they have not floated away.

On the knitting side I've been bad in two different ways. First I have not picked up any knitting needles since I've been home. The second way I've been shopping. I ordered from the Loopy Ewe yarn and roving, ordered a sock book and a spinning book from Amazon, and when I hadn't gotten my order from Loopy Ewe Brian let me stop by the yarn store and I bought more roving to try and start spinning. The funny part was my package came the same day. The best part was yesterday I received my second package from woolgirl sock club. Jennifer did a wonderful job on the this one. It has inspired me to start knitting again.

Wonderful Husband

When I got home yesterday Brian said lets go I want to take you some place, I found you something. I was questioned him what did you find for me. He was wondering if he should tell me or not. I finally got it out of him. It was a spinning wheel. He found it off Craig's list and it also came with Alpaca roving. I just ordered me some books so I can learn how to spin. The only thing is that on Wednesday I will be heading off to Iowa to see my sister. So learning how to spin will have to wait unit June.

On the knitting side I finished sock #1 of the Nutkin sock and

started working on #2. I hope to finish it while I 'm gone. Now I have to find a pattern and yarn before leaving in a few days.

Happy Mother's Day

I hope everyone had a wonderful day. I had a very busy day. I started 0430 this morning getting up and getting ready for the day. I was at work by 0630 to be picked up and head to Seattle Center to be part of the Y-Me walk for Breast Cancer which started at 0900. I was captain for United Onboard Service division. We walked for 3 miles through downtown Seattle. One thing I was happy about it did not rain on us, we had the wind which made it cold but no rain. Here are some pictures from our walk today.

thanks for taking the time to look !!!!
