What has been going on lately...

Hello all! :) 

Life is trucking along around here.. First, Jerek got a different job (again). He's driving again. So far, so good. 

Second, I found another place to donate! The hospital in Rice Lake, WI. :) I took them this package of lovelies:


I should take them some more on Friday as Jerek plans to take us over there again. We shall see. My knitting efforts are quite all over the place right now. 

The small humans continue to grow at an alarming rate. Tiri went on her first field trip a week or so ago. It was just t the library, but still, it meant she got to ride on the school bus. She's been quite obsessed with riding the bus for about the last 2 years.

Fritz can walk farther and farther unassisted. He'll be 1 next month. ::sob::

Last weekend we went to Govin's Berry Farm to see the baby animals (they have an open house type event for several weekends each spring for this purpose. Tiri held a lamb and went on a pony ride. Fritz just watched everything.




I'm also reading a lovely book, The Selected Letters of Laura Ingalls Wilder. If you know anything about me, you know that to me this is a treasure trove. I've been enjoying it immensely! Although, the first time I read her use a swear word I think my eyebrows went up so high they were floating above my head.

Nine Lines Washcloth

Hello again. How is everyone? It's going about the same here, Jerek's still in the same shape. I did have a nice weekend. It was the circuit assembly, which is a two day series of Bible talks that takes place every year, along with the District Convention (three days) and the Special Assembly Day (one day.) There were many upbuilding Bible-based talks, and it was good to see a lot of people I haven't seen in a while. As you can tell by the title of the post, though, the assembly isn't the main point of my writing to you this time. I made a washcloth last week. I used a stitch pattern that I learned last fall from a afghan block. It was called Plowed Rows, but I didn't think that name fit the washcloth. Instead I am calling it Nine Lines, because it has nine lines. (I know, ain't I creative? (-:) Here is the cloth. Not a great photo, but as good as I can do right now. And on to the pattern. I think this would be a great pattern to learn how to slip
