Good morning all it is a nice day and i clean the house ,, more later mirjam
Good Morning Mirjam,
I knocked down a spider web on my way from the kitchen to the computer. Does that count as house cleaning?
Today my family is taking me out to eat for Mother's Day, and we'll probably go visit my in-laws. I may knit just a little to finish a slipper. I'm also thinking of starting a cross-stitch pillow that I've had on hand for quite a while. I'm thinking the movement of my arm will be different than knitting, so it may not irritate the elbow as much.
It rained earlier this morning, but now the sun is trying to come out.
Happy Sunday/Mother's Day all, Joy

Good Sunday morning to YOU as well, Mirjam, and ALL rcty friends/family! It's a beautiful day here in middle Tennessee, USA... too beautiful to spend the day cleaning. I would've done it friday or saturday, but was working a construction job most of last week, and actually, when no one is 'here' all week, the house doesn't seem to clutter itself, LOL! I didn't get ANY knitting, spinning or crocheting done at ALL this past week, I feel withdrawls today! Am thinking it might be a good day to suggest to Don that he go treasure-hunting (metal detecting-he has a deep underwater machine and a ground machine)... and since I don't get into the 'hunt' one iota, I can sit and knit and enjoy the outdoors... being together but not joined at the hip, so-to-speak! My ma is up in Wisconsin this weekend, as one of my nephews graduated college yesterday, as well as celebrated his 23rd birthday, so for once, my sister 'gets' ma on Mother's Day... leaving a lot of the past 47 years of pressure off ME for a change. (my sister complained loudly when I moved away, she's never had to deal with ma or her issues or her health problems). I'm getting long-winded here, but suffice to say, I'm considered a pariah now by my ma and sister.... Hugs, Noreen who is very GLAD to be over 700 miles away from all the 'bullsXit'.....
It is still morning here, and I have a few minutes to write. I first of all want to wish all of the women here, as well as the wives/significant others of the men here, a very happy Mother's Day, even if you/they are not mothers. (It really should be Woman's Day.)
I have not been here very much, and have not written, lately, as I have been going to work with DH between 3-5 days per week. We put in long hours and the only time I get to knit and/or crochet is while we are in the car and it is still light out. (Last month, I crochetted 9 granny squares and knit a simple spring scarf. I am still "working" on 2 baby sweaters. The babies will probably be too large for the sweaters by the time I am finished. LOL)
I am off to Florida on Tuesday to visit my parents, so if you need to reach me, please email me directly.
In conclusion, I want to wish anyone who has or will be celebrating an auspicious event (birthday, engagement, anniversary, graduation, etc) hearty congratulations. To anyone who needs prayers, condolences, or encouragement, please know that my thoughts will be with you in your time of need. And to all our newcomers (except those trolls who invaded us), I wish you a warm welcome.

Well it's now afternoon, and it's been a bit overcast and gloomy here. We were promised sun later but it hasn't appeared yet! We're having a quietish day, recovering from yesterday when we went up to DD2's house to help her prepare for her 21st b'day party. Her b'day was yesterday, and from the reports of people who were at the party (DD1 & DS) a great time was had by all. We'll (family) probably all get together next month to celebrate both her 21st & my Dad's 80th. Obviously a good year for important birthdays! Happy Mother's Day to all who are being celebrated today, have a lovely day Love & higs Christine
Well, *we* don't consider you a pariah, luvvie!
Keith and I went to brunch with some friends plus Kandace. I plan to spend the afternoon marking papers. (Another thing I won't miss next year!) And I am not planning anything for dinner other than a nap. It is a beautiful day here - temps near 30 C, and sunny. A good day to stay indoors. I am doing laundry, and plan to hang it out to dry.

Not so loud, Mirjam! Debbie is asleep and this post is all she would need to get me on a serious list of honeydews. After all it is Mother's Day (US) and I am bringing her breakfast in bed (ah, isn't he sweet?)
-- but I was hopeful to spend a little time there myself finishing my a dozen knitted dishrags this morning. Got a free huge spindle thingee of worsted weight cotton variegated yarn (yellow, orange & white) and I am on a serious program of making place mats and dishrags and whatnot!

Good afternoon now - and it really is one here. The sun is out and it is warm. The rhododendrons are out and gorgeous. My DS#2 has invited us to his home for a barbeque to celebrate mothers day - we will be able to eat outdoors this afternoon. Every now and then this corner of the world defies it's rainy reputation and has a truly glorious spring day - we learn to enjoy them when they occur.
Hi all, evening here now, I slept in late, first time this week enjoying my 4th of 5 days off, didn't ask for it, but sometimes the work just works out that way, some weeks I work 4 days some only 2 days, I say this is my year to "Play" being retired only working part-time! dd1 did not come this weekend , stayed to work on new house with hubby and her brother and friends helping. they said there was wallpaper glue on some of the walls to scrape and prime before painting.sounds like alot of work, but I think this will be a home they will be in for a long time ,so they want to fix it up the way they want.plus the house they are in now has not sold so they have time. Big thunder storm here this morning, now its sunny and nice. When to bfriends moms for lunch, she is 85 so sweet, but can't remember things well, can remember every thing from 50 years ago ,but not last week, (you know how that is). dd1 says gbaby needs bigger soaker pants she's 15 pounds now, I just happen to find a bag of wool yarn at the thrift store for 25 cents!! just enough to make two pair, so that is on needles now. I have a room full of 4 ply worsted acrylic yarn, alot I make bags and baby blankets to sell at craft/flea market, but alot I make sell there or make some to give to shelters. Happy Mothers Day to all, Jenny :)
You sound like a very busy person,"Padishar Creel", I know Debbie would have enjoyed that breakfast god Bless Gwen
Jct just in what part of the world are you - where ever I have been I always seem to miss the rhododendrons God bless gwen
LOL It *was* only a week ago! And tonight it is so hot here that Kandace called me to beg to sleep here, as it is cooler here than in her apartment. So she is upstairs now, with the windows open and the fans going.
