OFF AGAIN IN A FEW DAYS

Feels good to be home, even if it is only for a few days. I leave for Denver on Monday then Columbus on Friday and finally home again on Monday the 14th! The only travel I really enjoy is going to see my kids or grandkids so even though I get to go to TNNA, I still would rather be home.

Nashville was great and my dad did really well. I was really proud of him. The only things we had to do for him were wheel him around. Everything else he did for himself. It was much easier than I had anticipated. I was so nervous about the whole thing I did not sleep even one minute the night before we left. Needless to say, I was asleep before we took off, maybe even before we taxied!

The wedding was beautiful even if it was in the rain. The reception was very nice except for the food. The dinner was sea bass. I have NEVER been to a wedding where the only thing offered was fish! Needless to say I did not eat it. Thank goodness the appetizers were good!

Becky is in Yellowstone this week. I hope she enjoys it as much as I did when I was 15. It is a gorgeous place and she is hiking all over. I know she will be happy if only because she has Shawn all to herself for a whole week!

Nashville was a bit slow so I got a lot of knitting done. I finished the May and June scarves and started working on July. I actually had to buy yarn. No really, I did. Frank took me to Haus of Yarn which was a very nice store. They had sale yarns so I bought 3 skeins each of two different wools. I am making the July scarf out of one and the August will be out of the other. I know my stash is large but every time I look for wool to use, it turns out that the bookclub women are not worthy of it. So sale yarn it will be!

I am also working on Becky's sweater and I promised Sandy a cowl. She is yarn worthy of just about anything in my stash so that should be easy. The baby blanket is done, yes i fixed the mistake, and now I have to block it. All the scarves also need to be blocked as well as the quiveat cowl I made.

The floors were measured yesterday and now I am waiting on the estimate. I hope it comes in around the estimate we got before the measurement. That was at the high end of my budget so I would hate to have to change anything if it comes in even higher.

I am not looking forward to getting the back room ready. We have to pack up the corner cabinets, undo the tv etc, and disassemble the table. Such fun! Plus we want to paint the back room and get the new couch delivered, which would include getting rid of the old one!

So much to get done, so little time. Oh well, let's just take it one day at a time!
