Monday Morning Meanderings
It is Monday Morning, the sun is shining and it is clear and cold outside. I had great plans that included a nice long walk this morning, but I need to rearrange a few things so that I can get to the doctor to have my eye looked at. Saturday night it started hurting, feeling kind of like i strained a muscle or something. Now it doesn't hurt as much but it is red and goopy. Yuck. I hate going to the doctor.
Thank you much for the kind words on my Mr. Greenjeans sweater. The yarn is just cascade 220, but it is a very nice all purpose yarn that feels lovely.
Yesterday we traveleld south of Tacoma for Shannon's gymnastics meet. She got one of her highest scores ever and two scores breaking the 9 barrier. She also placed 2nd on the all around department for her age group. I am so proud of her! After the meet we met up with a family that we have known for many years. Our two oldest daughters were babies together, the two younger ones not that far apart in age either. It was wonderful to spend a few hours with them, laughing and playing, having dinner. Sadly, the time came that we had to drive home and leave the fun, but promises were made to get together soon.
I am greatful for all the friends that I have, those who live close enough to spend time with on a regular basis, and those whom I have gotten to know here in my little corner of cyberspace. To share laughter and sorrow, rainy or sunny days, it continually amazes me how much you have all enriched my life.

Yes, congratulations for a job well done. What hard work went in to all of that.
Thanks for the birthday wishes. I truly appreciate my association with you, albeit through the cyberspace. I certainly admire all of the works you create and the words you weave.
Are you as cold up there as we are here? I am about ready for rain and some 40 to 50 degree weather. It is sooo cold here. Best to you.

Too awesome, Shannon! Ooh, maybe you got something in your eye and scratched it. That happened to me before and I had the same goopy thing. I had to have antibiotic eye drops for a few days. It got better pretty quick. I hope yours feels better.
