Today I went with Mom, my sister and two nephews to the show. It was terrific. Afterwards my sister, mom, dad and I went out for dinner. I don't remember the last time just the four of us did anything together. It's probably been decades. It was nice. A family. The only family I have.
My sister's socks are almost finished. I tried taking a picture but it did not come out. Maybe I'll get a digital camera for Christmas. That would be lots of fun.
I have not yet heard back from my penpal from England. I hope I hear from her soon.
Tonight I went to B&N and read three Kids Chapter Books so when I recommend them to customers I know what I am talking about. I want to start doing more of this. Stopping by the kids department and reading for an hour or so. Chapter books are quick reads. I picked the most popular series.
I am still reading A Million Little Pieces. I love it. It gives me hope. I do not recommend it for everyone though. It is heavy. Many find it depressing. I don't. I find it encouraging. So many books, so little time.
I saw Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire Thanksgiving Day. I enjoyed it. There were only a handful of patrons there. I'm ready to read book five now.
I ordered yarn from Joanns.com during there free shipping promotion. I hope I get my yarn in time to knit a couple of scarfs for christmas gifts. Next year I am going to knit vests and sweaters for gifts. I'm comfortable and confident knitting socks. I still enjoy them. AFter Christmas I plan to knit a pair of cable socks I saw in Interweave Knits. But then I am going to graduate from socks and try a vest or sweater. I'll probably start with a vest, it is a less expensive investment.
iF anyone knows of an inexpensive indoor pool where I could swim laps during the winter months please let me know. Or if anyone would like to be a walking or exercise buddy let me know. I'm miss exercising and want to get back into it. HELP WANTED.
Thank you to my Knitting buddies who have become my friends. Y'all mean a lot to me. I have a male friend who is a beautiful knitter. He put his needles away after his marriage ended and he no longer had anyone to knit for. I've seen his work. It is absolultely gorgeous. His mother taught him to knit when he was a young boy. He is/was a knitter without shame. I wish I could get him to join us at Barnes & Noble. He is not much for joining groups though.
