More Knitting Projects!

My brother and his wife are in the process of buying their first home.  According to Facebook, cause apparently that is where one goes to get up to date information, they are going to the bank, meeting the seller and doing paperwork on Wednesday!  Holy Buckets!

I've been looking all over the Internet for things that I can knit them and I have found a TON of things!  I can hardly wait to get started on these projects!  So I guess I'll be doing less reading and more knitting into the near future!

Wish me luck!  I'm going to need it to stay focused on the prize.

Just a little update

Well today is grandma's funeral. Kind of a downer day. But she lived a great life and that will be celebrated that's one thing that I know for sure.

My mom and I did really well with our photography at the fair. My mom won the Special Merit Award in the class for the second year in a row. Between the both of us we only had a couple of photographs that did not place at all.

My cousin's showed pigs for the first time this year at the fair. Before this year I've never actually seen how pigs are shown but it was very interesting and the boys did VERY well for their first year....Second and Third place respectively in their classes. I've got a bunch of pictures from the showing that I'll be blogging about within the next couple of days.

Have a great day everyone!

We got the call....

We got the yesterday evening that great grandma has passed. I'll be completely honest here...I'm kind of glad that she's gone. She suffered for a week before it finally became to much for her. We're not quite sure when the wake and the funeral are for sure. So I might be absent from blogging for a couple of days.

A quick thank you

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who left me messages about my great grandma. So far she's still with us but nobody really thinks it will go on much longer. All of the arrangements are made from what my grandma has told me all done to what my great grandma had written down. So I'm staying home from work tonight...going to work on my entries for the fair that's coming up next week....should things take yet another turn.

It's a waiting game....

Wednesday night we received a phone call from my aunt telling us that my great grandma was in the hospital and had a stroke. The kicker in this whole thing is that the next morning when I talked to my grandma everyone had lead her to believe that everything is okie dokie....that great grandma was "talking" and able to move about. Basically lying through their teeth to her. Come to find out that this "no big deal" has turned into a HUGE deal....We're actually sitting here waiting on my great grandma to pass away. I feel a little bit comforted by the fact that the hospital has made great grandma as comfortable as possible and that Hospice will be taking over her care for her until she does pass.
