Fun and then, not fun.

This weekend we ventured to a Flea Market in a neighboring town. There was a wide variety of this and that but we left empty handed. The reason is two-fold. The biggest reason, we already have plenty of STUFF. Second was the prices. We thought they were a bit steep. Still it was a nice outing on a Sunday.

This past week Crystal, our oldest, went to a new Chiropractor as she continues to have issues with her back and neck. She has seen a wide variety of Chiro's, Massage Therapists, and even an Empath. All to no long term satisfaction. This time X-rays were taken.

NOT good.

We are all hopeful that this new guy will be able to make a difference. Of course he thinks he can.

P.S. We tied

The Neverending Socks

So after 2 months the socks are finally off my needles!

Tada!

I am a cuff sock kind of person so that's how I finished them off. Next will be the bright one's for our Granddaughter Abigail.

I won't lie, there is some sin in this project. But for a first time I'm pretty happy with the outcome. I will take the knowledge learned and apply it to the next pair. I can see why doing both at a time is the way to go otherwise I'm not sure I would ever get the the 2nd sock :)

Got a call from Crystal last night. Their plan is the come home next Thursday for a weekend visit - I can't WAIT, we haven't seen them since Thanksgiving! I mean, we keep in touch frequently but there's nothing like a hug in person from my baby girl (even if she is turning 37 this year).

Windy here today so indoor chores on the list and maybe, just maybe, casting on that wild yarn for Abbie's socks.

P.S. They won AGAIN - why do I keep score?

A bittersweet goodbye

Dale was finally released from the hospital today and they let him come home, he was eager to have Elke home with him so we took her over to him. He looks a bit pale yet but he's determined to get up and about as soon as he can. He was so happy to see his girl and we were happy for him but I miss her already. Cooper was talking to us when we came home without her. He misses her too.

Crystal and Dale are here for the weekend from Mitchell, they rented a cabin so they could bring Tucker along since we didn't think 3 dogs in the house was going to work out very well. Cooper and him tend to get on each other's (and everyone else's) nerves pretty quickly. But they spend part of the day with us and then had Ang and family over to the cabin with all the kids for a cookout and games. They stopped by here for a couple hours this evening and will stop over tomorrow before heading back home.
