The yarn arrived yesterday and I quickly sat down and attempted o start the afghan. Well, it didn’t go quite as easily as I thought it would, perhaps because it was written for an English crowd (IE Great Britain). I went to bed last night feeling very frustrated. My plan was to give it another go this morning, or as a last resort, find a new pattern Well, so far this morning, I am doing a wee bit better.
I have a new favorite show on the TV. The Incredible Dr. Pol! He is originally from the Netherlands, but after attending and graduating Veterinarian School, he followed his heart to the USA and married a woman he met when he was an exchange student.
Anyway, he has a practice that treats farm animals as well cats, dogs, rabbits and chickens! I love it. I love watching the scenery, the working farms, and also the way the Veterinarians must be creative treating these large animals.
Plus I think Dr. Pol, his wife Diane and their (grown) children and office staff and fellow Vets, are all terrific!
We are actually in the middle of a heat wave! 22 degrees Fahrenheit! (5. degrees C) I was greeted with dark puffy clouds and a snow shower!Isn’t life grand?
Our new coffee maker (The Cuisinart. 14 Cup) is wonderful. I now make consistently good coffee.
My granddaughter tried out for a community play. They are doing “Seussical the Musical” and Savannah has been cast in two parts.
She was in a play last year and really enjoys acting and singing. I think her ballet and dance classes have given her the ability to get up on stage with no fear. I am so very proud of her!
All the Christmas decorations have been put away and now I would like to go, room by room an do a deep cleaning. Windows, curtains, rugs, etc. Sort of a Spring cleaning, but in the middle of winter!
