Day 139 of 2026

We had thunderstorms today so I took the opportunity 

to listen to a book 

and work on my mending project.

 

Day 138 of 2026

Fireball and I have been married for fifty-one years.

We had a great day together planning some backyard projects, 

grocery shopping and having an anniversary dinner out. 

Exciting. I know. 

But we have fun hanging out together 

and find ourselves laughing a lot. 

Maybe that's the secret of 51 years -

 hang out together and laugh.

 

day 137 of 2026

There are lots of end of the year things happening.

GB#2 has worked very hard in her choir performances

 and received this peer voted honor 

at today's choir award banquet.

 

Day 136 of 2026

I'm gearing up for all the flag related summer holidays 

with a slow transition of seasonal items. 

Dishes will be coming soon.

 

Day 135 of 2026

I love this restaurant floor. 

I can see this as a quilt using striped fabrics. 

I can also see some of those stripes coming from my scrap bins.

After eating our dinner here near this floor, 

Fireball and I went to see our eldest perform 

in a production of Kiss Me Kate. 

It was such fun!

 

Day 134 of 2026

GB#5 is officially a preschool graduate 

and will start kindergarten in the fall. 

She was pretty excited that we were both wearing red.

 

Day 133 of 2026

I've had a hard time getting back to my red socks 

after finishing my Musselburgh hat. 

I'm back to it now 

and have finished the heel flap on sock number one 

and have started the flap on the second one. 

I'm hoping to finish these pretty quickly 

as the weather is getting warmer

 and I have outdoor projects I'd like to get done this year. 

Of course, I also have other knitting projects in queue

 that I'd like to get to.
