Golf and/or spinning – something is making my ankles ache!
Posted by: keepingyouinstitches on: April 30, 2008
LOL….
Came home from golfing this afternoon and couldn’t figure out why my shins and ankles hurt so much. Then I sat down at the spinning wheel to treadle, and lo and behold, I know why they hurt!
Hmmmm…..I’m either treadling too fast or too hard and I’m positive it’s NOT because I’m out of shape!
Hi Ho – Hi Ho – it’s off to spin I go…..

I sure hope I have as much fun trying to spin today as I did a few weeks ago!
Before hubby left for work he asked me what I was going to do….told him we’re (Velma, Jan, Sally) going to the new yarn shop, Enchanted Yarn and Fiber. He said “are you bringing home your spinning [...]
Here I go again….spinning again on Tuesday.
Posted by: keepingyouinstitches on: April 28, 2008
Why oh why is this so intriguing to me? I guess because I don’t know how to do it! And it helps that someone who does spin is so willing to teach it!
Sh…..it’s a secret, she doesn’t know I want to spin tomorrow! LOL Yeah, right, who am I kidding!!!

Started this project about 2 weeks ago and with golf season getting underway, I hope it’s finished before the end of the summer! LOL
Am using U.S.A. Yarns Hope in Peach Blossom. It’s a very pretty color! Purchased from Enchanted Yarn and Fiber. I cannot wait till this place opens for real – it’s now in [...]
One loan repaid!
Posted by: keepingyouinstitches on: April 27, 2008
I’ve previously posted and urged everyone to check out www.kiva.org. For as little as $25 you can make a loan to a person or persons in a third world country and it can make such a difference in their lives.
I received notification yesterday that one of my loans has been completely repaid (in 2 mos!). [...]
Sheesh! I could have had a V-8 moment! DUH!

I never miss American Idol; however, yesterday I must have had a brain fart and forgot it was Tuesday…because off to Barnes and Noble I went to knit!
From what I’ve seen on CNN, it’s time for Brooke to vanish! I’m tired of her little pouty expressions (she’s a little old for that!) But what I [...]
How do you ever decide which spinning wheel is for you?
Posted by: keepingyouinstitches on: April 21, 2008
I’m still debating on whether I want to learn to spin or not. Anyone have any pointers? I usually make pro and con lists when I’m trying to decide on something – this one has me stymied! LOL
Then, how do you decide which spinning wheel is for you? I’m going to try the Mach 1 [...]
Sofi’s Gated and Guarded Community
Posted by: keepingyouinstitches on: April 20, 2008
Because Sedona (the big one) has decided that Sofi could be an appetizer and now is on tranquilizers twice a day to mellow her out, we’ve had to go to this so-called “gated community” for Sofi. And Sedona, the guard dog works for no pay except for a carrot now and then!
Lap Band Surgery adjustments
Posted by: keepingyouinstitches on: April 19, 2008
I’m either really stupid or a really good friend! LOL
Yesterday Velma and Deloris needed to go to Nashville for “adjustments” for their lap band surgeries. This entails just shooting some fluid in the area to shrink the stomach – thus making them eat less….however, they couldn’t wait to leave the hospital and go to McDonald’s [...]
Athletic Weds. – may be getting too old for them! LOL
Posted by: keepingyouinstitches on: April 16, 2008
I’ve deemed Weds. as my “athletic day” – meaning I’m either going to go bowling or play golf.
Today it was 18 holes of golf; I know it’s early in the season and I shouldn’t be too harsh on myself – but I sure swung the clubs a lot today – BUT…..I avoided sandtraps like the [...]

- Ah….life in the fast lane November 10, 2009At least that’s how I like to think of it! Things have been testy around the house since the bionic man got a new knee. Seems like we’ve had lots of repairmen, which ultimately leads to lots of barking. Derby, our found on the streets of Nashville dog, absolutely cannot help himself when it comes to [...]keepingyouinstitches
- A new and colorful knee! October 24, 2009Tuesday (and this is Saturday) Mark got a new knee; it’s getting more and more colorful! Came home Thursday and trotted him off to rehab on Friday morning. Coloring goes pretty much around the whole knee….wowee! Or maybe I should say owie! Staples come out Nov. 3 and yes, there will be documentation of that too; most [...]keepingyouinstitches
