Knitting Knitting

January 17, 2010

I have been busy, busy, busy.  This is a photo of some of the knitted face cloths I have been making. I got hooked on this at Christmas, thanks Sarah and Dylan, and have been knitting like crazy ever since.  The yarn is so so very soft and you can get so many colors.  It is 2 strands of yarn, one a chenille and one a soft bamboo or cotton.  It is crazy!  It is an easy pattern so it goes fast!

Fish Tank

Here is the picture.  I tried to get all three fish.  You can just barely see them.

Fish Tank

It is very blustery cold today.  It reminds me of the blustery days Winnie the Pooh talked about.  It was a busy morning with Dylan coming early to change the water and clean the fish tank.  I have a 36 gallon Red Sea Max salt water tank.  It has 2 Nemos (clown fish) and one striped pajama fish, and lots of corals.  Somehow the corals go crazy in this tank. It looks like they may over take it.  But I guess that is a sign that it is healthy.  I can't seem to keep any more fish as the Nemos are very territorial, and don't like outsiders. I will try to post a picture.

Christmas 2009 recap

This Christmas was amazing.  Harper and Hiromi stayed for a week, and Sarah and Dylan spent lots of time here too.  Our niece and nephew, Kory and Kile came on the 27th for a few days.  It was so much fun.  We cooked lots of good food - we had a delicious fondue Christmas Eve dinner AND knitted - Sarah taught Hiromi to knit, I taught my niece, Kory, to knit AND we played online computer games together - we had 7 lap tops in our kitchen at one time AND Dylan, Sarah and Hiromi went to lots of yoga classes AND we shared memories, ideas, love and lots of laughter.  Wow!  It was truly a Christmas to cherish.

Amy and kids

We spent today with our friend Amy and her sons, Landon, Cuben and Caden.  They are 7,  5 and 2 respectively.  Years ago, Amy babysat for us when Harper and Dylan were in early elementary school.  She would come early, get them ready for school, take them there, pick them up, etc.  She did this for several years.   It was fun to hear Harper and Dylan and Amy reminisce about their time together.

After Christmas

We had a wonderful Christmas and are still relaxing.  So nice...........
We spent Christmas day with our son, Harper and his wife, Hiromi.  We had a great vegan meal that Hiromi cooked - tuna, sushi, rice and vegies.  We did have a few Christmas cookies, well probably more than a few, thanks to our neighbors.  And some other pretzel goodness that Dylan and Sarah made. 

Today we were going to drive to the airport vicinity and pick up our neice and nephew so they could stay with us the next week.  But I-70 from Burlington (where they live) is closed so they can't get to the airport.  My other nephew, their brother,  is suppose to fly to Des Moines today but will hopefully fly out tomorrow and we will pick up the kids tomorrow.  Everyone at their house if bummed for sure! As are we. So we will have to relax again today.  Oh No!
