- My daughter and my older son both graduated from college this year and they both, very recently, got jobs.
- My younger son has been accepted into the Art Institute in Vancouver...now we just need to find the money to pay for it.
- My husband and I are still crazy in love with each other.
- I got 6 chicks in the spring and now am getting 2-4 eggs every day
- Went on a lovely vacation with my older son, his fiancee, my younger son, and my DH this summer. It was a 9-day cruise from Norfolk to the Caribbean and back.
- DH and I are both in good health
- DH and I are both working full-time (such a blessing in this economy)
- We have a warm, welcoming home
- We have many dear friends and a very supportive extended family
- We remain firm in our faith and involved in our wonderful parish
As mentioned above, the girls are laying pretty regularly now. We are getting eggs every day. We have 4 girls that lay brown eggs and 1 that lays blue eggs. The eggs are absolutely delicious and the yolks are dark, dark yellowish-orange. I make egg casserole for Thanksgiving morning every year...and this year was no different EXCEPT that I made it with our very own eggs this year. I made some corn pudding tonight with our eggs, too. The "pudding" part of the corn pudding was as dark as the corn after it was cooked due to our healthful, organic eggs.
Knitting news:
I have several projects I'd like to finish before Christmas. I have finished a simple cabled cowl for my BFF in a wonderful feeling 100% cashmere. I am making a hat for my godson. The ribbing is done and the rest of the hat will be done as soon as my size 6-16" circular needle arrives in the mail. I am also working on a pair of flip-top mitts for my BFF's daughter who is teaching English as a second language in South Korea. I am making a button-up vest for my DH, and a central park hoodie for my DD. I am hoping to make felted slippers for my DH, DD, and DSIL (those are lower priority than the other items.)
I am also trying to finish up the wedding present I started for my DD: a nice, warm cabled afghan. They've been married almost 18 months, so it really does need to get done soon!!!
Peace.
