Friday Night in Ashevegas




Tonight I took son #1 and son #3 out for some fun. After dinner we sat outside of the HOP
We listened to live music, saw a lifesize icecream cone, and the boys got balloon creatures and had their faces painted by a very talented artist. I spent my time knitting the caliometry.

What are you thankful for today?




Son #2 had his heart exam in Atlanta this afternoon. He has to go once every 18 months. I never know if this will be the year he has to have a heart transplant or not. He has already had three open heart surgeries, five days old was his first one, followed by six months and eighteen months old. He will turn ten in September! I am profoundly, tearfully thankful today for these ten years.

Knit Night



Last night I wrestled my social anxiety to a manageable whimper and met my Ravelry friend Lizabee for dinner and knit night at Purls. Liz's house is very cool, hardwood floors and lots of artwork plus she sews her own clothes which I dont think she realizes how talented she is. I mean, I WANT a pair of those flowered pants. Her hubby made a lovely dinner of stuffed green peppers with couscous, which I pretended to eat while being entertained by their adorably precocious son Art. (His real name is Koala but Art is his street name). So we walked to Purl's and had a nice chatty yarny time. Another friend drove us back, and walking towards the car I was wishing I had a camera with me because the night in Asheville was so pretty on Wall Street. Then I remembered I DID have my camera. Duh.

Another reason to love Asheville here.
Oh, and I made Clare's blog!

Seeking Club footed person in need of socks


Cackled my way through the second toe.

Picnic and Squidward




This weekend we attended the church picnic. I really liked the park they had it at. There was a pool, plus the boys got to see if they will be the next King of England.


Also, I'm happy to report that Son #1 is adjusting extremely well to sixth grade. He is starting band and has made a friend. See Squidward at top of post....
