Teacher Thank-You's

LN made these as a parting thank you to her teachers. Small token from a senior.

At livestock show Z and LN discussed and solved world problems.

R and Miss A hung out with me.

Four new arrivals joined us this weekend. This is one lamb. So cute and sweet. LN and I drove to Massachusetts to acquire two. A long 5:30 am - 10:00 pm down and dirty trip. The other two came from western PA. Luckily the seller was coming to DE and kindly brought them along.

Winding now to graduation. Just a few days left of school for this grad. Time is spirally faster and faster.

love this kid...

 

Senior night at soccer last week.

 

 

 

Honor cord ceremony last night.

 

She is such a great kid.

Just a good person down to her soul.

She always does the right thing with no prompting.

Def didn't inherit my craziness thank goodness.

Dang look out....

She's going to light up the world!

My baby grows up ....

Senior prom for my lil girl.

Looking too grown up for her mama. 

She went with her best friend.

They think they are tough.

I think they are sweet.

And beautiful ......

Finite

I hope that's the correct spelling ;)

First pair of socks is complete. Not perfect at all. I know my mistakes. But complete...

They are loose on me because I cast on with double needles. Guess I didn't know I was a loose knitter MamaPea! They will be worn by one of us. Washing may shrink them some with their wool content.

I'm just happy I stuck with them.

Now what to cast on?

This day is rushing towards us. Ready or not!

My sweet pea turned one yesterday. Check out the lashes!!! I wish they were mine. 

We will celebrate with a party on Saturday then follow up with LN's last prom.

Um that is if I let her out of the house.

Sad...

Events have happened I can not share but it's sad.

Two different family members have said "I'm just waiting for it to be over". Each said it for different unrelated reasons. 

It's sad to think we live with things just "to get it over with". What kind of life is that? 

Are we meant to just survive? Not enjoy? 

These kids...

She slays me ....

Already reading too ;)'

This one makes my heart beat faster.

This years wool and 4-H sewing project. Lots to do to finish it but basics are completed. More pictures later.

Make it loose ...

They say...

So I cast on over two dpn's as suggested.

It seems loose which will still fit one of us. Two of us have above average sized calfs. I also think after washing they will tighten up a bit.

Time to conquer the other one .  I've cast on the same so these will match size wise.

I enjoy knitting but do not have much free time. Thusly this took forever. Those who say socks are quick knots haven't met me. 

Overall for the first time knitting socks and using dpn's I'm pleased. Next pair I'll probably cast on using one needle though. 

19

19 is the number.

After mailing off a scholarship at school today LN has 19 to go.

Over the next few months she will be busy with AP exams and soccer, 4-H contests and scholarships.

I help with the basic information and the ones needing typed out.

I had to resurrect my old typewriter.

I think handwritten is sloppy looking, not professional enough.

So I type away...

Night and Day...

See I have a sense of humor I swear.

Off to update the excel list.

 

 

Gosh I wish he was here to help or just to stare at.



Windy as...

all get out here today.

It's 50* but feels like 39* from the wind.

Tomorrow is s-day #1.

Surgery for my 91 yr old mom-n-law.

She has poor circulation in her remaining leg.

They are going through her stump to femoral artery and over to other leg to put a stent in.

91 yrs old!

They say it's day surgery so fingers, toes and all appendages crossed they are right.

S-day #2 will commence soon.

Soon as all qualifying referrals are complete my Dad is having his hip replaced.

He will be 76 in few months.

Having had a major heartattack, defibulator, pacemaker, few strokes, and still going to operate.

Hopefully modern medicine works miracles.

Words can't describe what I feel for this old man.

It's hard to watch my "hung the moon" Dad fade from what he has always been.

To me it's harder than raising the most troublesome kid.

At least most of the (time) you know kid will mature and age out of trouble.

Aging is opposite to me.

Circle of life stinks.

Utter and Total Chaos...

I don't have time to blog or read blogs.

Utter chaos is my life right now.

Swapped by scholarships, soccer tryouts, second job at CPA, horrible warm weather giving animals pneumonia and killing them , let alone regular chores and skirtwork, crap don't forget my own taxes.

Utter Chaos...

Be back after this passes sometime in the future.

Till then I wish I were here ...

 

 

Or really anywhere but here.
