Busy Saturday

Yesterday just flew by !!! GD was the first up and ready to eat ! The last thing she said to me before going to sleep was what did I have planned for breakfast ! Usually I make waffles, but she didn't get up til after eight so that didn't happen. EGS decided to stay here instead of going home so Yd picked him up around noon. Laundry was done, my bathroom cleaned and the kitchen floor washed for the second time in as many days.

I finished a stocking, got the names on and fixed an error in the name of one I had done last winter. In English we write Maxine and in French Maxime. Then I thought I'd make two for the YGS's maternal grandparents so I'm nearly finished the names on them. A brain wave~~ one of my sons' friends has an emergency order to protect his daughter who has been hit by her mother. As she cannot be closer than 200 m, he keeps both children together and has a good lawyer from the same firm ES used. I'll find out today if the uncle wants to buy two stockings for them !  It would mean knitting one more and then names and appliqués.

I made another batch of Red Onion marmalade. It takes a long time, but I sure love it and I could give some to the maternal gps for Christmas .We had leftover ribs for supper. Well, Hubby and EGS did. He was very excited to have them again and ate more than his grandfather ! Today I'll make a big stew- remembering not to overlook it ! last time, I simmered too long and the meat almost dissolved ! I may do some baking, that will all depend on how the day goes.

The bed linen is to be stripped , washed and put back on. I want to cut out and sew the appliqués on at least two of the stockings. I like to have an assembly line going so the mess disappears  quickly !  My paper whites I bought and planted last week are growing gangbusters. We've had only one day of sun so that is quite amazing.

We still marvel how blessed we are to have YGS in our lives. He is charming, funny, polite, well behaved and loving. He was not that way when both parents were together. She had a weird way of disciplining and was great at undermining the other parent. Spoiled with trinkets, but not love.

So I guess I'll watch some more Longmire while I sew and sew and sew.
