Tis A Busy Weekend

December 12, 2021

Good morning.  Tis sunny and the temperature is 42F degrees.  It's not raining or snowing, so it's a good day to get errands done.  If you have errands.  If not, curl up with a good book, or a hank of yarn and enjoy the day.

Sad to say, late yesterday afternoon, grandson Kevin and his girlfriend were going somewhere in their car,  and were hit by a drunk driver.  The car was totaled, but aside from cuts and bruises and a concussion, the kids are okay.  Thank you God.  

Friday afternoon, while looking for something, I found the missing gift.  Of course.  Now that the box has been mailed, it's okay to come out from hiding!  I packaged the gift and put a mailing label on it.  Then I messaged daughter to let her know that I will be mailing the package this week.

Then as I crossed the room to get a bottle of water, I noticed something on the floor.  I picked it up and guess what?  It was the tag that was on the lost gift.  Of course!   I think I'll put the tag in an envelope and mail it to daughter. 

A week ago, I bought myself a present.  My birthstone is Citrine, which is a beautiful yellow color.  One day on ShopLC, they were showing a ring set with Cherry Red Citrine.  I've never seen this color before so I ordered the ring set in sterling silver.  It arrived yesterday.  Oh my, it is gorgeous!  Here's a photo of the ring being presented on the TV program.  It looks orangey in the photo, but it is a gorgeous red.

I've put a few more rows on the pink afghan, and now there are eight more rows to go till it's finished.  I have a really pretty forest green yarn that I want to use on the next afghan, and I've picked out the colors that I want to put with it.  Now I just have to order the yarns.  Meanwhile I'll start a new baby crib blanket while I'm waiting for the yarn order.  

What else is new?  Well, my washing machine died.  With a load of my jammies in it!  Deanne bagged my wet laundry in a trash bag and took it home with her to finish it for me.  Thank you Deanne.   I'll have to buy a new washer soon.  The good news is that my dryer still works good.  

I was reading a story on Facebook about a dog named Max.  While he's waiting for a family and a home, he would love to receive lots of Christmas cards.  Have some fun and send Max a card.  Here's his photo along with his address.

Now it's time to enjoy a bit of blog reading before getting started on this new day.  So, till tomorrow, Y'all stay safe and have a fantabulous day.

Hugs, Edna B.
