A couple of years ago a young girl in our church played a tune on an ocarina. I loved the sound of it. Last year I told my SIL that's what I wanted for Christmas. I got jewelery.
Hubby got home yesterday after being gone for 10 days, and he brought me home one. :) This is where there will eventually be a picture of it. I forgot that he took the camera canoeing with him today. Oh, I'll borrow a picture, since I know where there is a picture of one just like mine. Guess I'll have to try that later, blogger won't let me upload anything. Verne, I'll try again after supper.
Our son had some more seizures last night. Three times in 2 weeks. Sent an email off to his neurologist at 2:30 this morning, heard back from him, called the office, and am going to see him tomorrow. We LOVE our neurologist!! I hope he'll have some wonderful insight for us, and hopefully some answers. I predict a medicine change; just hope it works. These night-time seizures are getting very hard on my nerves!

I hab a code
Sniff sniff. Anyone want it? It's free!!
Not a whole lot going on here this week. Hubby has been in the city working all week, which left me home with the kids.
Cat we were fostering left and went to her new home. Another cat came. This is Missy. A calico girl. Not spayed yet, but will have to be before she is adopted out. She has a sore under her left arm. Her leg had gotten caught in her flea collar, and the skin there wasn't too pleasant. Good news is that at least her previous owners cared enough to put a flea collar on her; unfortunately it was too loose. We are putting medication on it every day, and giving her anti-biotics.
Katie has taken on a project. She has decided to knit scarves and sell them, with half of the profit going to the animal shelter. She bought a ball of yarn last night at Memory Lane in Liverpool, and has about 6" of her first scarf done. I have scarves in my craft sale stash that I will be giving her to sell. I'll post pictures of her scarves as they are finished. $10 each (plus any shipping) if you want one :)
By the end of the month there should be a new baby in the family. Hope all goes well - and quickly!! We're getting tired of waiting, even though we haven't known all that long :) Knowing for 8 months or so would have killed us I'm sure!
Have a good one!

Pictures!
Been a while since I posted; it's been busy around here!!
Found out that I'm getting a new niece or nephew the first of October. Sister found out she is expecting - it's a total surprise to them! But a happy surprise! Their daughter is 23.
I've been knitting face/dish clothes. See???
It's hard to see, but in the greens there are two that are just stitch patterns, a dragonfly, a turtle, a fish, a dolphin and a Star Trek symbol. In the beige is a horse (with no tail yet), a house, A NS cloth and a stitch pattern one.
This is a multi-directional scarf I knit using 1 ball of SnowFlake yarn. My Mom asked if I had more; she would have liked a "dickie" made of it. Don't have any more of it, but do have some other yarn I can use - it's so nice when she asks for something specific - makes Christmas easier! :)
And this is what my craft room is looking like right now. That wooden cabinet on the right (in the second picture) is where Katie keeps her craft stuff. The room is messy right now; I was just given some yarn to store, and have been told there is another big bag coming. I'm also sorting out my magazines; which is why they are on the countertop. Plus I've got a pile of craft sale stuff started on the far left hand side. It's nowhere near as bad as it used to be though!!
Final picture for today! This is Geni. She's a long hair calico, about 1 year old. We are fostering her until her "forever home" can be found. She's spayed, very affectionate, a bit of a night owl, and very sweet. If you live close and would like to adopt her, please let me know. Not that we mind having her, but she wakes us up at night - our other cat never sleeps with us.

17 years
Hubby and I have been married for 17 years today.
I spent the evening at the firehall catering a small wedding there (with the ladies aux).
Shortly after I got there to start working my friend Elizabeth showed up. She works at the flower shop in town. She was there on "official business"; delivering 17 pink roses to me :)
The heat in the kitchen made them open up quite a bit, and they are now at the point where I want them to be for drying. So I'm not putting them in water. I'll dry them, and put then in the craft room (I think)
Pictures of knitting tomorrow maybe. I gave my friend the skull and crossbones cloth and forgot to take a picture first. Have asked her to send me a picture.

Less than two weeks to go :)
Yup, Two weeks from yesterday and the kids are back in school. YIPPEE!!! I'm more than ready to have my days (most of it anyway) to myself again! More than ready to get back on "my" schedule. More than ready to have silence.
After supper I go grocery shopping, and pick up the last of the stuff we need for back to school. Also picking up a few things for a friends daughter who is going away to school.
I'm knitting a multi-directional scarf, using a ball of Sirdar Snowflake that I found at Value Village, and then sort of forgot I had until I found it yesterday morning. I got the pattern from The Yarn Harlot Mine is pink, blue, yellow, peach, green and purple - think that is all the colors. Not sure what I'm going to do with it when it's done, probably sell it. Katie wants it, but she has so many scarves now!
My friend Linda was here yesterday, and noticed my little pile of face/dish clothes. Asked where I got the patterns from, so I showed her a few sites that I go to. She saw a skull and crossbones, and asked me to knit that for her to give to her brother for Christmas. We couldn't find any black cotton, so we decided on blue. She said to mail it to her when it's done - she only home until Sunday. I'll give it to her tonight when I go in grocery shopping. Had it done before I went to bed last night. I'll take a picture of it for you to see.
My friend Elizabeth got me a 1 lb ball of cotton that is greens and yellows. Nice bright colors. Can't wait to start using that :)

Here's Tiny looking up out of his stall at the Ex. He had a stall right by the door, he looked at everyone who went in or out the door.
Here's a shot of me doing the barrel racing. Can you see how fast I'm going LOL :)
Katie on her carousel horse Dee, just before the parade.

Swimming in the rain
Our daughter has swimming lessons this week. Today she only went half time today because of the rain. Cold rain. Brrrr. Hopefully the sun will be out tomorrow.
I took a sock along with me to knit on - there is a covered area that we were sitting in.
Not much else going on here.

Just because you need to know
My cousin sent me this link to some very important information that everyone should know about. Click here
Sorry, but I had to tell you!

Home again
Dee and Tiny are home, and appear to be happy about that. It was a good week, but a long week.
Katie got second place in freestyle reining; there were three horses in the class. That was the class that worried her the most I think. She got mostly seconds all week, but it was a learning week for her and a new horse.
I had a good week. Got second place twice, but was usually 6th place, 5th twice. Another learning experience :)
We still have to unload the truck, but that's waiting until after lunch!
I'm knitting on a pair of socks; using yarn that I got for my b-day last month. It's the stuff with aloe in it; sure feels nice on the hands! Then I think I'm going to work on a few pairs of fingerless mitts - have a craft sale in October and one in November to start to get ready for.
That's it for now.

Off to the Ex
Our family is at the Shelburne Ex this week. All 4 of us are competing in the light horse stuff in some way. Plus I'm working in the canteen each evening.
This is my first time ever riding in a show. I'm nervous - but having fun!! Last night I got third in the stake race, and this morning I got third in equitation. (there were 6 of us in that class!)
Home for a lunch break, then back in to do more riding.
Have a good one!
