Ever been to a Yarn Tasting?
Posted by: keepingyouinstitches on: August 25, 2008
WOW! Sunday afternoon was an exciting couple of hours! Enchanted Yarn and Fiber had a yarn tasting to celebrate the new arrivals of yarn, books, etc. for fall.
We each received a “goodie bag” of “nests” of yarn of all the new stuff. Then we were to knit a few rows and critique how we felt about [...]
Late notes on Panera from 08/08/08

Just wanted to type 08/08/08! LOL
Not a real big group on Friday but sitting outside at Panera with the wonderful breeze blowing and very low humidity….ah….it was Paradise!
Guess I’d better get used to humidity – we’re headed to Belize for a week of vacation in the rain forest and visiting Mayan Ruins. Going to be [...]

While I have to admit, sometimes when Kathie Lee Gifford was on Regis and Kathie Lee, I did get a chuckle out of some of the things she said. However, while walking through the living room earlier this week and hearing her tell Hoda that she needed to find a man, husband, whatever, this is what [...]
“YAWN” – not much of an athletic Weds.
Posted by: keepingyouinstitches on: August 6, 2008
I’ve been on the run and on the go so much, I just wasn’t able to get out of bed to go play golf this morning! Besides, according to local TV, it was going to rain from midnight on and outbreaks of showers all day…Yeah, right!
It was hot, sunny and horribly muggy all day.
But I [...]
Cleaning house can make you sick (according to Dr. Oz)
Posted by: keepingyouinstitches on: August 5, 2008
I just heard Dr. Oz and Oprah say that cleaning your house can make you sick! That’s all I needed to hear…as soon as I hit post, I’m throwing away all cleaning liquids, etc.
Because if THEY say it, it has to be true!
I was having a bummer of a day until I heard this statement….I [...]

Had this horrible mess from my beautifully acid dyed yarn on July 22…….
And on August 5, 15 days later and having gone through many hands for assistance, it looks like this…..hurray for me! I don’t know whether to knit it or have it stored under glass! LOL
Back to NICU tonight to be with Mom and Baby Benjamin
Posted by: keepingyouinstitches on: August 3, 2008
I’m happy to report that Baby Benjamin is doing well. Today sometime he’ll be removed of all tubes except for the feeding tube. Dr. relayed to Penny this morning that this is an easy baby! I’m sure a lot of Mom’s in the NICU would love to hear that!
Will take more pictures while I’m down [...]
The Dancing Queen’s b-day photo….
Posted by: keepingyouinstitches on: August 3, 2008
Ah….yes, I’m still in the Mama Mia phase and like to called the Dancing Queen! And, bless Velma’s little pea-pickin’ heart, she made me a castle cake, from scratch with fresh strawberries and cool whip for topping. Altho’ she did declare that cool whip could be used for other things! We won’t go there for [...]
Baby Benjamin update aka Elvis
Posted by: keepingyouinstitches on: August 1, 2008
Teensy tiny baby Benjamin was taken off the respirator; using a c-pap; and is now down to just using a nose tube thingy (like my medical descriptions?) for breathing assistance, only if needed. ie: he gets tired of breathing on his own and this kicks in. Think how that little baby must get worn out [...]

- 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
- Very technologically challenged….oh yes, I am October 18, 2009For the life of me, I couldn’t figure out how I was receiving voice mails on my cell phone when it was sitting right next to me! This has been going on for about a week now. Lo and behold, there’s a tiny button on the side of the iphone that if it gets moved, mutes [...]keepingyouinstitches
- Hubby getting new knee………finally! October 17, 2009OK, readers, it’s Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday is new knee day for hubby. He’s already commented a couple of times what a long week-end this will be; add the cold, crappy weather that is predicted, and it will be even longer. I’m trying to play cruise director in making plans that will keep him busy. So [...]keepingyouinstitches
- Generic vs. generic drugs October 13, 2009I’m so fortunate to have health insurance…..some would call it good health insurance. However, today I received a letter from the insurance company stating that the drug I take for acid reflux is now going to be re-classified and will have a high cost…oh, wait, “cost may increase” are the actual words. How absolutely dumb do [. […]keepingyouinstitches
