Right now I am:
Trying really hard to wake up.
Thinking:
about my mom who is back in the hospital. I haven't heard anything from the drs yet.
My husband's best friend's dad was also in a car crash this weekend and is in the hospital with a broken neck. He helps to take care of my husband's best friend who has just one arm from an accident he was in. I am thinking of how to help them. the only thing I can think of right now is to cook extra at supper time and take it over. I can't imagine trying to cook with just one arm.
On my reading pile:::
I have a ton of books I found at thrift stores this week from Victoria Magazine. Titles include:
Table Settings
The Charms of Tea
The Art of Taking Tea
Intimate Home
I also found Vintage Style- Cath Kidston.
I am looking forward to browsing through these while we have rain this week. It will be nice to curl up by the fireplace and think about how to use some of the ideas in my home.

Your menu sounds lovely!
ReplyDeleteKeep going with your crochet it just clicks eventually! I'm having to keep struggling on with learning to knit.

Thank you. I'm going to keep going on the crochet--I'm determined. I want to make a granny square blanket one day. I hope you continue trying to learn to knit. It took me 3 years for knitting to "click" beyond just basic things.
ReplyDeleteGoodness you have a lot going on.
ReplyDeleteHoping your mom is doing well.
I love your book list, I don't think there are any in there that I wouldn't love to read :)
I agree with Naomi, just keep going with the crochet, I taught myself and ripped many things in the beginning lol But when it clicks, it just clicks and you'll be off :)
