This and That

Wow, it's been over a month since I've written anything. Amazing how quickly time passes.

It's Thanksgiving weekend. I've been on vacation since Wednesday and it's been great having time to do the things I've wanted to do and to do absolutely nothing at all. Jonathan and I celebrate Thanksgiving alone this year. We had originally planned to take the dogs and go camping for the weekend but weather prevented us from seeing that to fruitation. It snowed on Wednesday and has been down right cold the rest of the time. It was fine, we had a wonderful dinner here at home and enjoyed each others company. I even tried my hand at roasting a duck. It turned out really good.

Last night we spent the evening with our friends Rick and Donna Carter. It's always a pleasure to be around them. It was somewhat subdued last night but then Rick is on deathwatch with his mother. That sort of thing does tend to put a damper on any festivities.

I've been knitting up a storm again. Jonathan calls it therapy for me. Meditative therapy to be exact. Thus far I've knitted an afghan for the spare bedroome and a prayer shawl to give as a gift. I'm currently working on another afghan. It does seem to calm me and working with large needles helps make the work go fast. I'll have to take some pictures to post here of the things I've finished.

Well off to start the day.
