Happy Canada Day

To all my fellow Canadians, I hope that your weather is better than ours and that you all enjoy a wonderful day off. Hubby thankfully is better and I am slowly but surely starting to feel better. We had hoped to attend one of the numerous functions scheduled at Marina Park but with rain again we will just stay home and relax. We had great weather yesterday, sunny and hot and with finally getting the above ground pool all filled and chemicals in it, the grandkids had lots of fun being able to cool off.

Finally got the pictures of my finished dishcloths uploaded but am still trying to play catch up with the knit alongs and crochet alongs.























My daughter in law that is expecting twins is doing very well and her recent ultra sound they were able to determine that one is a boy and one is a girl, so now I know what colors to get and I have a couple of patterns for blankets that I hope to get started on as soon as I catch up on my other projects.

The Week from Hell

Well I have decided that I am going to call this the week from hell. Sunday hubby awakens with a sore throat, Monday I awaken with a sore throat, and with the sun, rain, sun, rain, hot, cold weather, both hubby and I have been so sick that we are barely able to function. Neither one of us can remember the last time that both of us had a summer cold at the same time. I did manage to finish 3 dishcloths from 2 of the knit along groups I belong too. Normally I would have got all caught up by the end of the week but even knitting was tiring. Hopefully with lots of fluids, and some over the counter cold medication we will both start feeling better soon. Luckily we have a doctor's appointment on the 2nd and if worst comes to worst we will both need antibiotics to give this cold a kick in the butt.

We picked up some of those Off candles and we were very surprised to learn that they worked. We did have a nice dinner last weekend in between thunder storms and rain and they kept the bugs away.

Well time to go lay down again.
