I just noted that I promised pictures of the house this
week. Oops. Maybe next week?

I had the vague notion of getting up & going to church
today, but what with the time change & staying up to read a book until 3:00
a.m. (or was it 4:00 a.m.?) I didn’t quite make it. Turns that was for the
best, because we had a little bit of snow. I keep saying, “OHIO QUIT FOLLOWING
ME!”
Started working on the new temperature scarf, and boy did I
make a MESS! This yarn is in hanks, which is different from skeins & really
(really!) should be wound into cakes before trying to use it. If all of that
was Greek to you, don’t worry – I’m planning a blog post this week about it. In
any case, I stopped my work immediately & ordered a yarn swift & yarn
winder. Crocheting will recommence once I get this yarn into some semblance of
order.

This year’s March Madness
bracket. It is already rather sad (stupid Villanova), but still makes the
tournament more fun for me.

This is really
terrible – humor at about the 12 year old boy level – but I couldn’t help it.
After all of the microwave spying on us kerfuffle, I read this on Andy Borowitz’s
Facebook page, “Question: can you be spied on by a Hot Pocket? Asking for an idiot.” And immediately went to
take a picture of this box in our freezer (Dr. M’s emergency rations). Should I
be worried?
I’ve been reading Water to Wine, by Brian Zahnd, & had
to laugh at this sideways reference to Guns, Germs & Steel, a documentary
I may have watched more than once as the wife of a historian.

Turned on the TV & there was
a Cincinnati Reds spring training game. Also, it was in the 20s most of the
day. I’ve got my eye on you, Ohio – you just stay up there north of Kentucky,
ok?

My weekly visit to the post
office.

Worked on a new dish cloth pattern
today. Frogged it about four times, and it’s still not exactly right. But I
might try it again. If I do, I’ll make it much smaller – it’s about 10 inches
square, which is MUCH too big for a dish cloth in my opinion.
One of the things that didn’t make
the move with us was our ironing board. We ran out of room, and I iron about 3
times a year. But here I found myself ironing a tablecloth because we invited
my dad & Sue over for dinner on Saturday. Ha!

Dr. M stalked
some birds today while I got groceries & cleaned the house.
Then later, he
cooked a fabulous meal. We had a great time with Daddy & Sue, but of course
I didn’t take any pictures of our lovely table or the food, or of the people.
Here’s a picture of the aftermath. We had so much fun we might do it again!
Have a great
week!
Now that you've moved to a state with no major league team maybe I can interest you in the mighty ARIZONA DIAMONDBACKS!!!
ReplyDeleteWell, I might would consider it, but the time zone issue might be a deal killer.
DeleteI think everybody but me got some snow this year. *pout* Looks like you're settling in nicely. :)
ReplyDeleteNext winter you should check out cheap flights to Colorado :)
DeleteThe view from you deck is beautiful. I can't believe you left Ohio and ended up with snow in NC.
ReplyDeleteThat yarn is a mess, but I love the colors
My aunt used to crochet those dish cloths for me. So nice.
I bet your dad is so happy you've moved back home. I hope you enjoy having family close by. You probably will sometimes and not sometimes. :) Such is life.
We have definitely been socializing with my dad since we came home. And I've been going to church with a cousin. It's been nice (so far - ha!).
DeleteI agree that you have a beautiful view from your deck. Can't wait to see pictures in the spring.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait either!
DeleteSnow looks so pretty...when it's someone else's snow.
ReplyDeleteThe "aftermath" picture indicates that it was a great dinner!
It was pretty - from inside the house.
DeleteI agree: the yarns you've chosen from your Mess, look lovely together.
ReplyDeleteOhio is NOT following you. I have Zero Snow in my yard in NEO. Or, if it did follow you, it has decided to stay. HOORAY HOORAY!
Whew! I'm glad to know that Ohio is staying put. :)
DeleteI know I told you we brought our ironing board although a I never iron or when I do (usually to press a seam when I'm sewing for the grandkids) I just lay a towel on the table. the ironing board lives in the garage without a pad.
ReplyDeleteYeah, next time I'm putting a towel on the table - that cloth was sliding everywhere. And I MIGHT use starch!
DeleteHoly cow! You certainly ARE prepared for any bandage emergency. I don't think we have any bandages at all! I may call you if we need one!
ReplyDeleteYour dish cloth is way too nice to be used as a dish cloth. :)
See, we kept forgetting what we had, so we would buy more...
DeleteCan you be spied on by a Hot Pocket? Don't know but if that is true they know all my family's secrets. Both my son and daughter live of those things. I like them myself but my kids have let it be known I have to buy my own supply, they will not share.
ReplyDeleteHa! I tried these, but meh. I like the cheeseburger ones best.
