Today we had a family shower and it was really nice and cozy.  Here are some of the pictures…just click to move to the next one. 

The weekend was crazy.  We enjoyed our little bit of quiet time when we got left off at the motel.  We walked over to Ihop and ate breakfast for dinner, then had several hours to relax.  I was so dead tired that I didn’t touch my knitting, but I did read a knitting book, so maybe that counts! 

The graduation ceremony started at 10 a.m. and there were about 350 graduates.  I couldn’t believe it when we got out of there at 1:18!  The crush of people trying to leave was horrendous.  We all went to Applebee’s for lunch, then to see the University before we headed to the mall and home.  I have been playing the purchase/return/purchase game.  I have one more thing to take back.  Somehow I feel like I’m expanding my wardrobe anyway, but it has been so much work!  None of the stores I’ve purchased from are close to home so every time we get up that way, I have things to run into the mall when we’re flying by to some other event. 

I’m still trying to dig out my stuff from the mess the dear boy created.  I just haven’t had the heart or ambition (or time) to really attack it. 

We got home late last night.  We were bulletin servers at church this morning and then came home for a short time before we headed to the shower.  Now I am home with my feet kicked up and too lazy to go see if I can get a cute picture of a mischevious boy.

Hopefully knitting content to come!

how’s that for a title?  I had to do my quarter-end taxes for my business today.  Where did I get the idea I could do that and the bookwork from my real job and be done by noon?  At 3:30, I took my tax form and payment to city hall and my eyes were literally crossing.  I had worked since early this morning.  I guess I won’t be putting it off quite that long again.

Therefore, no knitting today.  I just didn’t feel like tinking back my shawl … even though it only needs to go back less than a row.  I didn’t have any relaxing knitting to do at home so I didn’t do anything.

Tonight I corralled oldest son because I don’t have any pictures of him.  He’s more of a photographer than I am and I must have taken his picture about 8-10 times to get one that resembles him.  He could not stop laughing.  I have to hold the camera as high as I can to get any kind of decent angle on him … he’s over 6 feet and I am 5 feet tall.  He told me his eyes will be dialated all night now. 

So, until I can get a better one, here’s a peek at my boy. 

His girlfriend is a knitter!  (guess who taught her?)
