Where Do the Days Go ?

        Time is just flying by ! I can't even remember what I did the  last few days, aside from the usual cooking, cleaning and sewing. This morning Liam is here as his mom and aunt go car hunting. ES is  working and then I think they are moving the last of their big furniture to their new place today. Or it could be tomorrow.
         Last night I went with ED as company as she chose window coverings for her new home. I was just there for company so I just stood and sat around. Before we left, she asked me if it was going to rain so I checked Environment Canada whose site said 30 %. So she left her windows open, not all 18 thank goodness. Later in the evening as we were driving we could actually see 2 systems moving in so a phone call was to Hubby who ran over and closed them. The blinds she was able to bring home( others have to be cut) fit perfectly. Hubby has the stepladder all ready positioned to take over this afternoon to help put them up.

           I did manage to finish the afghan. The pattern is Nostalgique Quilt. I have used it to make many, many baby afghans that we give as gifts to the first born of staff members. Sometimes I use different colous, others like this cream one are all one colour. My girlfriend owned a wool and fabric shop so she gives me the wool, I knit and the gifts have been from both of us. This amazing woman is climbing  Mount Kilamanjaaro with her two children . I am waiting to hear from her when she is back in civilization.

             When we were in Washington State we visited quite a few'antique shops'. Aside from seeing so many " antiques" from our childhood, I saw a cone of wool selling for $24 ! My goodness I have had and have hundreds of dollars sitting in my sewing closet. Liam still likes to have his baby afghan around him to cuddle with. ( A dangling participle but I don't care ! ) I can hardly wait to tell her how much the spools are selling for ! )
               The trailer is back andhopefully the problem with the lights has been solved. It was nerve wracking travelling back from Oregon with no lefthand turn signal. We bought a new tarp to cover the trailer as I do not want to spend so much time scrubbing the sap from the tree. It is the only place we can park the trailer so it is cover it or chop down the tree !
                 This week I have been heartened to see ES and Dil try hard to strengthen their relationship. The counsellor they have now seems to be very good and is actually giving directions. The last one would just nod and agree with both of them even if they had opposing views !  I believe the counsellor has given her strength. Hopefully her mom and dad will respect her and not try again to sabotage the relationship. At least truth has been spoken .
                   Next week is going to be busy as loose ends will be finished up, items will be ticked off and we will be ready.
