Lovely

This past Sunday we were honored to attend the wedding of our eldest daughter. The wedding took place in Mill Creek, Washington. Hubby and I are staying on to sit with our almost 12 year old grandson and loving every minute. The newlyweds are honeymooning in Italy...a small village north of Rome...haven't heard from them but really don't expect to either...

The wedding was preceded by a traditional Vietnamese Tea Ceremony. I am anxiously waiting to see the photos that were taken at the ceremony. I was in awe and so tense during the ceremony...thinking I would mess something up...but it was a beautiful ceremony and everyone enjoyed the lunch afterwards.


You will have to wait for photos of the wedding until we get back home and I can download them.


I've been knitting on a pair of socks from "Wendy Knits" new book...also have knitted a small scarf (started it on the plane ride)...our 3 year old granddaughter has snagged the scarf...knitted with homespun wool and beads...lovely yarn to work with....I had purchased the yarn from "LaurensWool...Danni" some time ago...

Off to the bookstore with the grandson...

Don't Throw Balls In The House

How many times while the children were growing up did we say "Don't throw balls in the house."


Hubby likes to play with Shivers. One of their favorite things to do is 'fetch'. Hubby throws the ball and Shivers will fetch it.

I've told him many many times not to throw it from the livingroom sofa into the dining room.

Well it finally happened. We have a fan with lights in the dining room. I'm sitting at the laptop on the dining table and all of a sudden...I sincerely thought the fan/lights were crashing down on me.

Hubby threw the ball...it hit the flag chain pull which flew up into the blades...the flag pull broke from the chain and fell on the laptop...the chain wrapped itself around the fixture so tight it took both of us to free it...

...and all the while...I'm saying "How many times have I told you not to throw the ball in the house..."...and what is hubby doing...laughing.

They never grow up.


Last night I finished a pair of socks...used worsted weight super wash wool...feels nice...I may try these again.

wow
