New Year New Car
January has been a very strange month. It began with a MVA for Kris and I. No one was hurt but our poor 1992 dodge caravan was totalled by the insurance company. after spending this month car shopping we have a new car A 2012 Kia Soul
Kris and I are thrilled with our new spicy red car. Car shopping is so different now.

Wednesdays
Wednesdays tend to be my day to caught up on things. household chores, odd bits of knitting and the always full laundry cupboard

The navy and army hats are christmas gifts from Tom and Rose. the bear was made by a fellow Motherbear (Marcie Titus) it is a crocheted miniture version of the bears we sent to children in Africa who have HIV

Casting on and binding off
projects are cycling off and on my size 5 and size 7 40 inch circulars.
finished Lauren's mukluks. working on socks for the guys and mitts for me and cast on an orange hat for Kris. I'm using the WWII watch cap pattern.
Saw Sherlock Holmes at the community Theater yesterday. it was fun.
news last week: Glenn will stay in Charleston for another three months but the good news is he will be able to come home for Christmas.
On the nightstand: the mistress of the Vatican and South of Broad by Conroy. I really enjoy his prose.
Some recently finished projects
Trenton's mitts
mukluks for the women's shelter
mukluks for Lauren
Tried two new recipes this month shirl's apple cake which is really good . the dough is so hard that Kris has to stir in the apples and walnuts. He doesn't mind this. I also tried a Turkey and Quinoa meatloaf that was great.
See you all in the funny papers.

Sunny Day and Mondays
October 3, 2011
The Joy: Beautiful warm sunny day. the leaves on the trees are colors only God can make.
The Challenge: a nasty cold.
news this past week:
Glenn is nearly set to head to New York. He can hardly wait.
Ryan is back from yakima, WA and is training his soldiers.
Kris and I spent Saturday at the Mpls farmer's market.
I finished a few projects this past week. and I can only show one of them. Kris' mukluks are done. the rest are birthday and/or Christmas gifts. I may not be able to show many of my FOs for a while most of my projects on the needles are gifts.
Looking forward to the Motherbear tea on Friday.

saturday night's all right with me
September 24, 2011
A beautiful fall day high of 60 degrees and sunny with a bright blue sky. the leaves are are shaking off the summer green and slipping on the vibrant shades of yellow and red
On Thursday, Kris came home with a huge bag filled with goodies from General Mills products from the United Way Fund Drive. he also stopped at the farmer's market and picked up potatoes, squash and flowers
As some you know Ryan will be going to Afghanistan. A friend from the Ravelry's Mothers of Soldiers group posted this photo last week. I thought I would share it with you.
tonight my honey took me to see Contagion. We enjoyed the story and the acting was fantastic. Glenn strongly recommended the film. He enjoyed that Minneapolis was one of the featured cities in the movie. Matt Damon and Gwyneth Paltrow's characters reside in our metro area.
