It's Beginning To Look Like Christmas

December 8, 2017

Good morning.  Tis looking a bit gray and cold outside.  That's okay, it can stay out there.  Spring will be here in a few months and I'll be waiting for it.  Deanne and I had an appointment this morning at the shooting range, but I've been a bit under the weather so we cancelled. 

Sad to say, I think one of the bugs that are going around is trying very hard to catch me.  I've had a sore throat since yesterday afternoon.  Today I will try some Zicam to see if I can shorten this "bug's" stay.  Here's hoping it works.

This morning Deanne texted me to say that Jazzy's photo is in the newspaper again.  She sent me a copy of one photo from the newspaper.  I'll have to go online to see the other photos.  This weekend, Jazzy is taking part in a performance at her high school.  It's a murder mystery show and should be a lot of fun.  If there wasn't so much walking involved and so many stairs, I might be able to go to the school to see her.  Fortunately, Deanne will take photos for me.

Well, yesterday, Joe took a few more boxes to the Post Office for me.  I only have one more box to mail and it can go out next week.  What a super feeling!  Now I can focus on finishing up my local stuff. 

Remember a while back I showed a picture of a pattern that I had bought along with the yarn to make it for my two youngest great granddaughters?  Well, it turned out that the pattern was for knitting and I prefer crochet.  So I looked around online and found me another pattern for a sleeveless hooded vest that is crocheted.  It came yesterday.  I think I'll like this pattern because it looks a bit more uncomplicated.  This one is for sizes 2 to 10.

Each night, I try to add a few rows to the Cranberry afghan before I doze off to dreamland.  Here's a photo I took a couple nights ago to show how the colors look together.  This one really is pretty.

When the mailman came yesterday, he had a big box for me.  It was from Kyra.  Oh wow!  Christmas is right around the corner and now I'm getting a bit excited.  I did not open the box yet.  I want to wait till I get my tree up.  I haven't decided if I'll put up my usual little tree, or the tiny one that I used last year.  Either way, I'm hoping to get it done this weekend. 

Well, now I need to look up the newspaper online to have a look at the two photos they have posted of our Jazzy.  After that, I really need to do a load of laundry.  Maybe two.  So, till Sunday, Y'all have a fantabulous weekend.

Hugs, Edna B.
