Re: Good weekend/ me too/needlework

Ah, 'tis the season Cathy, we're expecting the whole crew here for an early Thanksgiving lunch, then I work 3 pm - 11:30 pm, Thanksgiving through Monday.
Needlework. I knit, crochet, tat, counted cross stitch (not so much since the onset of bi/tri-focal glasses, I had trouble seeing the right line before!) peyote stitch beading. I tried to teach myself to piece quilts once, what a disaster! No fancy stitches for the most part, just lots of half-done projects lying around.
Judy B Z 6 Idaho - 1st light frost here last night, grass on the north side stayed frosty after 9am today. Not ready for winter. Pulled my tender pots in today. Threw sheets over them last night when I saw the temperature dipping.

Judy, what kind of needlework do you do?
Pam, I'll keep praying for rain for you. We need it too, but not
quite as badly.
Speaking of family, I am bracing for the onslaught: daughter from TX
with Kylie (3) and Bryce (2 months) and the two whippets arrive on
the 19th with me helping with driving; daughter from LA shows up the
tuesday before Thanksgiving; daughter from TX DH should arrive on
Thanksgiving as well as niece and her DH and daughter (4 months).
Then, since the 26th is daughter's DH's birthday, his parents are
thinking of driving here from Indiana to surprise him!

Congratulations on the new job Andrea, glad your new home is

And Theresa, I know what a relief it is to finally sell in that
situation. I was executor for my grandmother's estate when my uncle
was unable to do it. Not a fun job. I'm glad you had a nice day there.
My daughter & family finally moved into their own apartment. I miss
the granddaughters, but I'm starting to see that we have plenty of
room in this house for my obsessions (books, needlework,
beads,houseplants, various collections). Especially when we don't
have 4 extra people here. They have visited almost every  day,
picking up odds & ends left behind, but then they go home, ahhh.
So as you see, I've had a good week & weekend too.
