Milestone Weekend!

Well ... I knew it was coming and yes, it finally happened! On Sunday, September 5th, I was able to officially order off the 55 and older menu! What an event! I'm thrilled (yeah, right)!  Wow, I guess I've been around awhile, haven't I?  The weather here in eastern Iowa is finally wonderful and fall is in the air and my daughter is on her way home from Oregon and should be here in a few days (as well as her hubby!) It's been a year since I've seen them and I can hardly wait!  Happy Wednesday and I hope you are having some great fall weather, too!  P.S. Check out all the great giveaways listed on my sidebar.

Birthdays and Knitting

My daughter Molly's birthday was this past Sunday. She lives in Oregon now and visitng with her in person is not easy but we connect alot via phone, Facebook and our blogs.  According to her this was one of her best birthdays ever and it seems that it wasn't so much the "presents" as the "presence" of friends and family wishing her the best. However, she did get the set of knitting needles she wanted from me and her dad. Molly is the one who decided I needed a hobby and is the main reason I am stitching.  She is quite the seamtress, too! (She is employed by the Oregon Shakespeare Theatre in their costume department).  Here is some knitting humor I sent her the other day! Hope they make you smile, too!
