Busy Day…

Today was busy, busy…Spent most of the day getting the books in order…
Tomorrow is our Resident Meeting and my last night as Treasurer – and I have to honestly tell you – I am DAMN THRILLED to be done with the job. It would not have been so bad except that I had to deal with the Snow Plow Program – and keeping track of all that was a royal pain you-know-where! And, having to deal with people who all have an opinion on how everything should be handled…but, don’t want to lift a finger to help.
It’s like a friend said – “They all want to eat the bread – but none of them want to bake it.”
I can honestly say it will be a cold day you-know-where before I ever serve on the Board of Directors again –
Besides now I have much more time to do what I want to do – like KNIT, QUILT, WEAVE, and READ!
Sunday Dinner…

I forgot to take a photo – but, I had the best dinner tonight. Took myself to B J Bricker’s – and while I usually have the steak special – I didn’t tonight. Mainly, cause they didn’t have a steak special.
Instead I had the best Grilled Chicken Caesar salad. Oh, it was so good! Lots of garlic, cheese, and anchovies! Yummy!!!!
Am trying to eat better!!!
Afghans…

I really enjoy knitting afghans…and recently one of the folks who moved into my apartment building asked if I ever did knitting for others. He said the wanted to have an afghan for over the back of his couch – and he wanted it to match his drapes and furniture…a sort of tan color…
Sent him to look at yarns and he came home with this:
This yarn is working out beautifully!!! I was sort of surprised at what he picked and without any help…It should be done in a couple of weeks and I’ll show you the finished project.
Babysitting…

This past week I spent some time in Bethlehem babysitting Zac and Oreo.
His favorite spot on the couch on top of the pillows –
He really loves being on the couch – he kept me at the other end of it when he stretched out for his nap. He seemed to be happy to be around me again – it has been a while since I last saw him.
And, he has a new playmate…
This is Oreo – and he is the sweetest cat. His front legs are really cool – one is solid white and the other is black with a white paw. He has one bad habit – he likes to jump from the second floor loft onto the cabinet top in the kitchen…scared the pants off of me the first time he did it…
It was a nice relaxing four days watching them…

1. Ah, me…I’m getting a little tired of local robberies and people shooting each other.
2. An upcoming trip to Canada is what’s on my mind most lately.
3. When I talk to my best friend, we seem to pick up the conversation right where we last left off – you would never know there was any time passage from when we last talked or saw each other.
4. Eating better meals is what’s working for me lately.
5. I recently saw The Hunger Games and I really liked it. I didn’t think I would – but, it followed the book very well.
6. Talking with my daughter, Tara, fills me with joy!
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I’m looking forward to to attending the auction at the local quilt shop, tomorrow my plans include going to Proctorsville for the Vermont Wild & Wooly Week-end and Sunday, I want to set up my balcony – which involves cleaning off my chaise lounge and putting the cushion on it…hope the weather cooperates.

I’m home!
I had a great time babysitting Zac and Oreo – they both are sweet little animals! And, slept next to me and talked to me…it was a quiet four days!
And, while I enjoyed being with the babies – I’m thrilled to be back to my BED!!!! Speaking of which I am fixing to crawl into in a few minutes. See you tomorrow…
