another Saturday, more needles

I was part of the team at Allen Temple Baptist Church again today. Officially our hours are 1000-1400 which means a good couple hours ahead of time for set up and perhaps time afterwards for tear down. This location is about as far south in Alameda County that I want to drive. Nothing against the other areas, but getting to some of the more southern locations proves to be a nightmare.

Or rather, it isn’t getting there, it is getting home at high traffic. And trust me, the traffic was horrible pre-pandemic and much worse since then. Way too many people who never had cars before are now out on the freeway creating havoc.

Anyway – I went, I stuck needles into people, I came home and stitched. I should’ve done some sewing, or cleaning. Instead – I spent time on Aquarius & the Fox.

About Holly

fiber person - knitter, spinner, weaver who spent 33 years being a military officer to fund the above. And home. And family. Sewing and quilting projects are also in the stash. After living again in Heidelberg after retiring (finally) from the U.S. Army May 2011, we moved to the US ~ Dec 2015. Something about being over 65 and access to health care. It also might have had to do with finding a buyer for our house. Allegedly this will provide me a home base in the same country as our four adult children, all of whom I adore, so that I can drive them totally insane. Considerations of time to knit down the stash…(right, and if you believe that…) and spin and .... There is now actually enough time to do a bit of consulting, editing. Even more amazing - we have only one household again. As long as everyone understands that I still, 40 years into our marriage, don't do kitchens or bathrooms. For that matter, not being a golden retriever, I don't do slippers or newspapers either. I don’t miss either the military or full-time clinical practice. Limiting my public health/travel med/consulting and lecturing to “when I feel like it” has let me happily spend my pension cruising, stash enhancing (oops), arguing with the DH about where we are going to travel next and book buying. Life is good!
