Saturday afternoon musings
While I am waiting for hubby to come home from a meeting so that we can pick up one of the granddaughters to take shopping with us, I thought I would pop in here and have a little chat with all of you.
Hello to my faithful local visitors!! And,hello to all of the rest of you out there. Take a minute and drop me a comment, will you? Thanks!
Shelly has updated the Share a Square page. She is getting near to a stopping (for the holidays) point. And, she is still looking for a few good souls to help with either crocheting and sending squares - OR putting together the afghans - OR helping out with postage costs.
If you can help, won’t you stop by her site and let her know that you are willing? Thanks so much.
Hey! while you’re over there, check out her Name that Tune entry and submit a guess (or two). Let her know you saw the link here.

I visited with my fried “B” this morning and took her some new dish cloths. I’ll post pictures and links to the patterns either later today or tomorrow. We had a lovely visit (thank you, friend!) and we’re planning a day trip to anchor-town next Saturday. We’ll visit the LYS - Knitting Grounds - and also look for some new office clothes for me.
It’s a 3 hour (or so) drive each way so we’ll have loads of time to talk and share sister to sister. We’ll also stop for lunch somewhere - she’ll need to let me know her “druthers” on that. That’s one neat thing about the big city - lots of eating establishments. 
Have been working out in the high school pool each morning this week - this was my third week. Friday my daughter and one of the other ladies “encouraged” me (by encouraged, of course, I mean “nagged” - albeit gently nagged) to SWIM some laps rather than spend all of my time running half laps in the pool.
Well, I’m not a very good swimmer - there’s just something about putting my face in the water- but I can at least do the back stroke and side stroke and a modified breast stroke. So, Friday I completed SIX laps (even in the DEEP end!) in the pool. I alternated with my normal half laps running and swimming. But, people, I did SIX whole laps!
Yeah, I know, exciting stuff, huh? Well, it is to me. AND, after only three weeks I am noticing a change in my jeans. THAT’s some exciting stuff right there, I’ll tell ya.
Have a great weekend. While you’re blog hopping - check out Lessa’s interview with Big Brother’s Jessica.

Whoot! Thank you again for mentioning SAS, Barbara! Good Girl, and for the mention for the Name That Tune. You just want to be in the running for that wine bottle decorator/cat toy thang! I’ll send you and e-mail about the afghans. I’d love for you to put one together (or more!!).
I appreciate you.

Congradulations on putting your face in the water!!! I too hate water on my face.
I also went to my favorite LYS “Knitting Grounds” on saturday. You weren’t the lady with the felted bag that was there around 4pm or so? Isn’t is a small world. Our friday night knitting group now has a blog. Go over and visit

Hi, Shelly and Linda!
Shelly, I’m hoping to get the pink lady!
Linda, no that wasn’t me last Saturday . . . BUT both my friend and I are coming up this Saturday - the 6th - and plan to stop by to do some retail therapy. We’ll probably hit town around noon and the Grounds will be our first stop. I hope you’ll stop me and introduce yourself.
