Talkin’ About Sunday On Monday

February 20, 2012

Okay, so I’m backing up to Sunday – but it was a fun day! After church we did a little bit of burning! In Rehoboth you can burn as long as you have a burn permit and the fire department ok’s burning the day you want to do it. When you are ready to burn, [...]

Afghans And Sunsets

February 18, 2012

The squirrels are gone!  We can eat again! I have entirely too many pictures of birds on my computer. He kind of looks like he is contemplating life in this one. I wonder if that is what I look like when I’m writing my sermon. Happy (Early) Birthday, Mom! Her birthday isn’t until the end [...]

January 25, 2012

I had dinner with a friend tonight and we shared this for dessert: Oh.My.Goodness.Gracious. Dark chocolate cake with chocolate filling with chocolate syrup. Literally. That’s chocolate X 3. With whipped cream. I’m kind of in a chocolate coma right now. So I am going to type this quickly before I fall asleep … *** I [...]

Done.

January 10, 2012

I did it! I finished the afghan! By the time I finished I was actually not obsessing over the pattern as much. Because of the pattern on the blanket I could tell when I needed to knit and/or purl. If I made a mistake I could generally tell immediately (except when I reversed it, argh). [...]
