When I started looking at our pictures this week I was dismayed to see that I had
THIRTY! Now that right there is a sign of a great week (or perhaps it could be
a sign of a terrible week; in this case it was great). Fortunately for you
guys I collaged the heck out of all those photos, so you don’t have to spend an
hour reading this blog post.

After church Dr. M & I took a drive up into the mountains.
It was a glorious day!

The carrots in my meal were grinning at me. I felt like
there was malevolence in that grin. #justsaynotocarrots

Dr. M says: “Today I stopped by Honey’s IGA on 10 at the
Lincoln/Catawba County line to pick up a few items, including fresh tomatoes. I
dropped my card at the checkout register, and the clerk, seeing the angst on my
face, asked if I needed help. But I didn’t! It took some effort, but I picked
that sucker up on my own! So grateful for healing and for the gift of brilliant
surgeons and their teams 😍”

We had a cancer awareness event
at work & were given these terribly cute little succulents. There was a wide
variety, but I chose the hen & chicks (echeveria) because I miss seeing
them at my neighbor’s house in Ohio.

I finally finished the vest that I was making for fall. I
paired it with what I’m calling my Little Dutch Clown outfit.

I was getting ready for bed & had this feeling that
something was watching me…

My church had its trunk or treat event today. It was a lot
of fun! Very low key for me – I basically did nothing but sit there & tell
the kids they could pick out three pieces of candy. My cousin & her family
were more enterprising – they set up a shark-themed activity where the kids had
to walk the plank before they could get any candy.
I’ve started yet another crochet project. That makes four
active WIPs (works in progress). I like to have a few different things going,
so I’m ok with that. However, none of them are Christmas presents and that
could be a problem unless I just admit to myself that I’m not giving any
crocheted items for Christmas this year. And my family breathed a silent “thank
you” to the universe. Ha! How about you - ready for Christmas yet?
Your church is a lot more fun than the one I grew up in!
ReplyDeleteTrunk or treat? That's a new one on me. I love your sheep cup!
ReplyDeleteSo glad the Professor is feeling better.
ReplyDeleteMy Christmas knitting is not past the Thinking stage yet, and that is a problem. Like you, I may be taking the year off from Gift Knitting. We'll see.
As it happens, I have all my xmasing done! Yay! Pretty drive y'all took, pretty countryside. Good costumes!
ReplyDeleteThe pirate costume was awesome!
ReplyDeleteI love your Sunday trip collage! What do you use to make collages like that?
ReplyDeleteCarrot-grin, funny. Reminds me of an acquaintance who sees faces everywhere.
