Another year older
Haven't updated here for a bit so thought I should do that today. We celebrated my birthday by going out for supper which was nice. We have a new Montana's here that we had not been to so we went there. Everyone was happy with their meals. The service could of been a bit better, but they were very busy. Today is my Dad's 77th birthday. I had to calculate that out about 4 times to make sure I was right. When he celebrates a birthday for some reason it makes me think of my mom and to think how old she would be. She would of turned 72 in January. I just can't envision her being that age. We aren't doing anything for Dad's birthday today but will probably be getting together next weekend. He has a turkey in his freezer that he wants to get cooked so I will cook it and invite some family members over for supper.
Crystal wrote her last exam yesterday and is now waiting to get her marks. She says it feels good to be done, but is looking forward to starting her job at the CU. She will have her shifts at the Sub Shop for the next two weeks and then after the long weekend she starts the CU. She has told the bosses at the Sub Shop that she will help them out when people are away etc, but doesn't really want evening shifts as she thinks that it might just be too much. Who knows, we may even see her at the trailer a couple of times this year, or not! LOL
Gary is going to take our trailer to the campground on the 10th and get it all set up and then we will camp that weekend. I am so looking forward to getting out there, it is so quiet and peaceful in the beginning. Also looking forward to being back with the friends that we have made there.
Yesterday Gary went and picked up our 1/2 a beef. Our freezer is full! Can't wait to take a package of T Bones to the trailer and cook them over the wood fire. mmmmmmmmmmm nothing better.
I am working on a baby sweater. Gary's niece had a baby girl so decided on this pattern for her. It is moss stitch and seems to be going so slow. I do think that it is going to be cute when it is finished. I also have 2 shawls still on the needles that I haven't touched since I was in Edmonton. I realized I really should get working on my white lacy crocet cotton one. We have a wedding to go to in July and I could wear it there. I also have Gary's socks on the needles, one sock finished and the other one I just finished the gusset decreases. I have wound my STR and can't wait to get it on my needles. As well I have wound some of the Trekking that I got from Germany so it is waiting to go as well. I koolaid dyed a skein of white alpaca and have it wound ready and waiting as well.... oh there is never enough time.
Yesterday I came acoss a swift that was on for 50% off! I hummed and hawed and then decided to go for it. Filled out the order form and got to the last part and it comes up that they won't ship to Canada. Well!!!!!! Wasn't sure what I would do and then a good friend of mine came online and she said I could ship it to her and then she would forward it on to me! I am doing the happy dance now that is for sure! I did try to wind one hank with Gary's help.....oh the mess we had!!!!! I need a swift! LOL
The house still seems so quiet without Bailey here. I can't believe how much more I have to sweep now! She was a good crumb picker upper. Seems funny to not have to move her in the morning when I make my bed, or when the doorbell rings there is no barking. Crystal and I are going to the greenhouse just behind where we live to get a stepping stone to put where she is buried.
