It’s been way too long

I can not believe it’s been 26 days since my last post. Ooops.

Last weekend Tom & I went to the MA Sheep & Wool in Cummington, MA.

We had alot of fun. Later that evening we went over to our daughter (JessaLu) & future son-in-law’s for dinner and to drool over what everyone bought.

We bought a vest pattern and yarn for it from Greenwood Hill Farm for Amanda to knit for Tom. He picked their Pewter color yarn. I picked  up 2 skeins of Silver (when he wasn’t watching). I’m thinking a nice scarf. Their Merino is so unbelieveable soft. I just want to snuggle in it.

After we got home and before going over to JessaLu’s I did something I have never done before. (insert drum roll here) I changed the oil in my Truck! (I’m squinting because the sun was so bright. I’m wearing my Michael Waltrip T-shirt) To get to the oil filter and drain plug the skid plates had to come off. Tom gave me the hand tools to remove the screws. He pulled the plug out, I really wanted to do it even if I ended up getting oil all over me. He put the new filter on and put the plug back in. At least he let me put the new oil in. Then when it was time to put the skid plates back on, he brought out the air gun. Sure, make me use the hand tools, don’t let me play with the Big Boy Toys.

I still have “issues” with vertigo and being under the truck my world did a couple of fun spins. I’ve gotten use to it. Sometimes it’s even fun! I know, I’m weird.

For Mother’s Day we were going to go to the New Hampshire S&W, but a 3 hour ride didn’t appeal to me. So we went to the Holoyoke Mall instead! And to the Apple Store. A very nice young man helped me decide which new shiny toy to buy. This got to come home with me. It is the new iPod Touch. It does everything the iPhone does, except phone calls. But I’m told there is an App for that too! I have 42 games on it. (I like games.) I like the note pad, and use it a lot. It’s nice to go to the store and know where the shopping list is. And the calendar is great too, I put my work schedule in it. The calculator is great, nice big numbers, or if you turn it sideways it’s a high “faluten” calculator with Algebra stuff on it. Way beyond me. I have my Audible books on it, music and pictures. The majority of the Apps I have on are the free ones.

I did buy a couple of Apps. One is the game “Sheepish”. I’m stuck in paddock 18, I can get one of the sheep out but not the other on. I hope someone can help me figure this one out.

Also I bought the KnitBuddy. You can keep track of your projects and have a row counter for each one. Inventory your needles (I hope to do this some day), your crochet hooks, and inventory your yarn. There is a free App for the row counter, but I figured for $5 this was worth it.

I finally figured out how to delete an App you don’t want anymore. I stumbled across that by accident.

This little toy is my Mother’s day, Birthday and probably Anniversary gift. I really love it.

Since this is a knitting blog,  I have done some knitting. I have completed one sock and have started the second one! The beautiful bag this sock lives in is my Mom Day Gift from JessaLu. She makes them, check out her Etsy shop. The inside of the bag has shiny dragonflies too!

And I’ve finished the body on my sweater,  now I have to pick up and knit the sleeves. I’m thinking about buying an extra set of KnitPicks needles so that I can do both at the same time.

Well I think that’s about it. Hope everyone enjoys the weekend! And Knit Happy!
