In a week it will all be over.  I have so much running through my little head right now, so many details to think about.  The little imp’s tux is altered and safely at Auntie’s house so he won’t be tempted to put it on.  (it had dirt on it when she took it home because he’s put it on more than once)

He has been doing his job almost daily:

He gets so intent on spraying the grass that he missed his favorite person in the whole world coming to pick him up.

Oh!  There’s my dad!

The grass is going to be on the tables.

Last Saturday it was 80+ degrees here, very unusual for us.  This Saturday?

Snow!

We didnt’ get any more than this, but places not far from us got 6 or more inches!  We have no idea what to expect for the wedding…hot, cold, or anything in between?

Friday night, we ate in the car on our way out of town for our date.  This gave us extra time so we drove out to our favorite place…it was cold out but the sun was shining and the climbing rose vines are looking pretty good…someone has already been taking care of them.

We watched a sailboat for awhile and then drove to the bookstore.  We’re both so tired but we really needed the down time.  We read for awhile and drank coffee and decided to head home early.  While I was returning my book to it’s home, some friends of ours showed up and we ended up having a party because after we’d been there awhile, the mama and papa-to-be showed up, too.  We had a great visit and it was an hour and a half later when we finally headed home.

Hubby told me that while he was waiting for me to come back, he could have laid his head on the table and fallen into a serious sleep.  He didn’t want to get up and walk around carrying my purse.  It’s funny how you can revive when people show up.  They hadn’t expected to find us anywhere around but we said it was our last time to play before the wedding.

We hit snow on the way home, not sticking but wow it was really coming down.

Since this IS a knitting blog…here’s a sad attempt at something.

Another burp rag and the latest Simply Knitting and toy that comes with it.  This is actually kind of cool.  I don’t know if I’ll actually use it, but it’s a row counter.  Does anyone else love getting the toys in the magazine?  I’m excited for next month’s…a little clear bag with 3 holes in the top for the yarn to feed through.  I actually do use the knitting bag I got from them last year.

And now, I am going to try to take a nap.  It was a tearful time during church today…as the bride-to-be sang two songs during worship, I started thinking about the fact that her childhood is over, next week she’ll be married and she’s still my little girl.  Then I got even more overwhelmed over the fact that my kids have all found such wonderful people to share their lives with and we are so fortunate.  All 3 of those coming into our family love the little imp and will be willing to take an active role in his life.  Can’t beat that!  They were good tears I cried, but it is an emotional time and I do hope I make it through this week.

So, not sure when I’ll be around, I’m sure at least once in the coming days.
