more errands

less stitching.

What was that old commercial? “more taste, less filling? Anyway, it was a day of running family errands, sitting in the car and otherwise listening to an audiobook.

The Eldest had an appointment for which she needed a ride. No problem, drop off the brother to watch her son while I take her over. Wait. Wait some more.

This is Half the Fun by InkCircles- started at StitchCon 2021. Worked on at this year’s and this past weekend. Give me another year and some more retreats and it might get finished.

Post appt, take the Eldest  back home. Make a lunch run for Phó. Make a grocery store run. Drop off lunch and extras for Daughter #2 while I in the same shopping center as her job . Pick up the youngest who is going to stay with the Eldest while she recovers. Grab the Brother. Make two stops in search of a particular kitty litter on the way home. All of the above made easier by the fact that the girls all live within a few miles of each other.

Crawl back upstairs. Take mask off.

Leo is just about finished. I just have the small portion at the top plus one more ribbon to stitch.

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!
