NASHVILLE HERE WE COME

Last weekend was such fun. I had some of my knitting friends over for dinner and an evening of knitting. It was a tight fit but fun. I managed to not poison anyone (at least not that I have heard!). Cooking for 10 is no more fun than cooking for two. Still don't like it but it would be nice if my kid (notice singular) would not be incredulous when I state that I am cooking dinner for ten. The silence was deafening!

Sunday was my 18th wedding anniversary. Because of the weather we did not go to Baltimore as planned. We tried to see a movie but nothing interested both of us. So we had brunch at Mimi's and went shopping. We picked out new flooring for the kitchen, back room, front entrance and hallway.

Well, with a new floor we needed a new couch. The current couch was what cut up the linoleum in the first place so a new one was necessity. I suggested we bring Nestle, since it was as much her decision as ours. We were already out though so we did not get her.

We found a gorgeous leather couch at Haverty's. People actually do shop there! I hope Nestle likes it. It may be very slippery for her. But it is a couch rather than two chairs. She would have hated that!

We leave for Nashville on Thursday. This should be quite the adventure. Four days with my dad. Maybe I should double my meds for depression! We made the reservations initially on Thursday because we wanted to see some of the city AND my dad was not coming. Now he is and we are stuck with him all four days! Pray we survive it!

I sort of finished the baby blanket. The last repeat rows was done reversed and I am debating with myself about doing it over. I might as well give it up and fix it. The perfectionist in me is driving me crazy!

The May scarf is almost done. Good thing since I only have a week until the end of the month! I am not sure I like it all that much but it's okay for a gift.

Happy Memorial Day Everyone!
