What have I been up to...

I'm sorry that I have not been keeping everyone up to date on this blog. My father-in-law went into the hospital almost a month ago after he had a major stoke. I've been holding down the fort at home while Mike is dealing with the hospital, nurses, legal stuff, banking stuff, and more. Mike has been traveling back and forth between Vancouver and here almost every weeken. I finally got to see go with Mike to see FIL this past weekend and was happy to see that he was with it enough to know how I was. He has full mobility in his right hand/arm and good strength but his left side is pretty much useless. I'm sorry to bring you down with all of this but it feel good to let it out. Since Mike is an only child (although he has step-brothers from his Mom remarrying have been very supportive) it falls on him to deal with everything on his own. And I have been strong and not let him see my feelings and just been helpful to him.

OK, now that that is out of the way, lets get on to some good stuff. I have so many things to share...

1. I got some new sock yarn, and I love the colours.

2. I'm making good progress on the baby blanket. I'm really getting the hang of it

3. I got a new needle for Mike's vest and an happily knitting on it most nights. This picture was taken more than a week ago. I've made more progress

4. I love how my new hat is turning on (the one for Hat of the Month Club). I tried it on and it is not going to fit me (I knew it probably wouldn't) but know a few people that I could give it to.


I think that is all the knitting stuff, but what about the rest of my life.

Hailey (my chocolate lab) and I are starting Agility class tonight. Here she is with me on a hike last month.

I have decided to start a new blog to follow the classes. I'm hoping to post once a week after class on Wednesdays. Here is the link if anyone wants to follow it http://haileyagility.blogspot.com/.

I've been busy fund raising for our team in the 24 Hour Relay. This year we are selling chocolate for Easter. For anyone local email me if you are interested in getting some. I only have doggies with chocolate left. For non-locals you can donate on our webpage, http://www.24hourrelay.com/sites/default.aspx?TeamID=1398










I think that is all for now. I hope you have a good rest of the week and enjoy knitting.

Dance to your own beat and knit to your own tune!
