During today's sort through at our house

 I came upon a few of Mom's old photo albums. 

Of course, I got sidetracked and started looking through most of them. 

One of the pictures I found was this one of me at approximately age 16 

with our cat who was apparently named Josie.

Tonight I had the pleasure to enjoy Hamilton again joined by DIL, R. 

It was so good. Every time.

When I got back from our Bermuda trip in early April, 

I brought back some of Little E's projects to weave in ends. 

Here are GB#2, GB#4 and GB#5 modeling three of those projects. 

Each GB now has a matching sweater made by Little E in his/her own color .

I don't know if you remember this blue pair of socks or not, 

but after finishing them, I was not happy with the fit. 

They were too loose for my liking. 

I tore them back to the cuff to begin the heel again, 

but after discussing it with Little E, 

I've decided to tear them all the way out and begin a new pattern. 

I'll still be using this yarn but with another couple yarns

 in an entirely different way.

 If you'd like to see the socks pre-rip out, 

go to the sidebar on the blog and pick the label "socks." 

Scroll down and you'll find most of that pair's journey.

Our trip to the airport brought Little E home with us. 

She will be here for the next few weeks 

to help out with this house and the Old House. 

We are so glad she has come to visit. 

Thank you for being patient and for checking up on me in my absence. Having started this blog fourteen years ago, I have amassed quite a few pictures on my computer. With no real system for external storage of said pictures, my computer finally said enough is enough. It refused to work until something was done. I have finally received the hardware I need and the time to do the bare minimum to get it up and running again. I will be catching up on all the pictures from the past few weeks in order over the next few days. Until I am caught up, I will be labeling each picture with the date it was taken directly below the picture, before the caption in order to keep each one identifiable and in order.

"Here, I'll just carry these two mattresses to the curb. 

No problem." 

We were a party of five today, all doing some heavy lifting. 

Progress is being made at the Old House.

 

Day 119 of 2023

We had storms today so the sky tonight on the way to the airport

 for a pick up was really pretty.
