Another week goes by....

A busy and sad week in the house this week. An uncle of DH was killed in a car accident early hours of Monday morning on his way to work, he had 4 children aged 32 down to 24, they are around our boys ages, he was 61. Life sometimes is so unpredictable. And we always say we should live life to the fullest, but we forget until something like this happens.

The day after I had my 'every other Tuesday knitting group', I love this time of an evening knitting with some really special people. I decided even though it was a sad time that I was going to celebrate and I took along a bottle of champagne, nice champagne by Brown Brothers, Zibibo Rose, just beautiful. They asked what we are celebrating, I said I wish I could tell you I have won lotto, but I haven't yet, I said we are celebrating breathing and being alive. We toasted to breathing, living, friends, good times, bad times, knitting and whatever else life is made up of. It was a good night. We drank it early in the night so we were OK to drive home a couple of hours later.

I organised today (friday) off as DH is off this weekend (3 days), we were going to go for a ride for lunch today, but then he had to work today, Oh well there are other days to ride. We have the funeral tomorrow and then we are going up to stay with #2 son Tim and Abby for the weekend. Tim will finish work around 5pm so we shall be there by the time he gets home.

On the knitting front this week, it has been a bit slow, didn't feel like doing any or anything on Monday, but I did manage to finish last night another pair of 8ply socks for the Aussie Troops in Afghanistan and I have started on a pair of pink bootees, the bootess can go towards the Albion Park Show knitting for 2011 and it is another stash buster. All my knitting of late is stash busting except for the Indian Summer knitting.


Last Saturday I did some sewing, I did the aprons for myself and Aahliyah. I had enough for 3 aprons, I originally was doing 2 for me and 1 for Aahliyah of the leftovers. I decided that I would give one to Kristen, then thought well if I give one to Kristen then I will give one to Abby, so we now all have 1 apron each. I will give Abby hers on the weekend and Kristen and Aahliyah their aprons when we fly up there in 4 weeks.


I took a picture of a Rose from my garden, I have about 25 or so rose bushes they all have a beautiful smell to them, so I do smell the roses each day they are out.
