Rainy Saturday

Hi All,

It is another rainy Saturday. That was OK with me. My house smells yummy, we have a Pot Roast cooking, a pot of Chili and an Apple Pie just came out of the oven.

I want you all to know my sewing machine made it out of the basement. I sewed up several pillow cases today. The looks were funny as they walked into the kitchen to not only see the machine set up but me sewing. It was like taking out a long lost friend. It felt good, I will leave it upstairs and work on some other projects now that we have a place for it again.

I have been busy knitting. I have gotten one client into knitting and am going to try to convince another one to give it a try too. We are working together on a scarf, a nice easy pattern for starters, I want her to be happy with an easy project before we move onto something else.

Have a great day, I hope you have been as productive as I have been. Life is still great, I love my hours and my clients. The family are all doing well too.

October 18th It is a Home Day

Morning All,

Today is a really good stay at home kind of day. My plans are to do some cooking, a little laundry and good plain old laying on the couch relaxing.

Larry and I went to Plymouth and watched Ed Randall harvest his Cranberry Bogs yesterday. What a sight it was too watch. I always new how it was done, I have even seen it done on TV. I have to tell you though to actually be there and watch it is so different. I never realized how much manual hard work it is to do. The three men in the bog need such strength and patience and love of the job to do it. I will say the men we saw must love their work as they joked and managed to make me laugh while they worked. I am so glad we decided to make a run to watch it being done. I managed to get a few pictures that I think came out really well.

Enjoy the day as much as you can. Good Luck to any die hards who are going to the stadium to be at the Patriots game today. I will have my feet up with a quilt over me either reading or knitting.
