Half way there

I made it through my medical appointment this morning without a problem, same with the drive back home. From there it was a bit of a challenge to get organized – in fact I just remembered that there is the last load in the washing machine that should have gone into the dryer several hours ago. At this point it is too late in the evening…

The housebarn is now at 56% after another 840 stitches. I have six full rows at the bottom and 3 half rows above that. From there, it is flower time…

I also put in 375 stitches on that extra project. And, when either of these is done, I get to roll for another start!

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!
