It's In The Mail

I didn’t think it could happen, considering everything that is going on with work, but I started, finished and mailed the matching hat for the Peapod Sack.  It’s so cute with its little leaf hanging down the side.  I can’t wait to see our new little pea in it!!

I also finished one Skinny Mitten and started another pair of fingerless mitts, so knitting is officially going forward.  If things keep going like this I might be tempted to drag out Classic Cardi and actually take a stab at finishing it—but I don’t want to go overboard!

Sunday night the family gathered for a “happy birthday DIL and we’ll miss you SIL’s mom” dinner at a local Mexican restaurant.  Need I say that the margaritas flowed freely?  I had not had flautas de pollo since starting Weight Watchers last year so I indulged and enjoyed!!  SIL’s mom wore the sparkly mitts (it was a chilly night) and it made me happy to know my knitting is appreciated.  She heads back to chilly Canada tomorrow.

For some time I have been wondering which dog is eating my basil plants in the window box.  I thought it was Macy because that corner of the breakfast nook bench is her favorite place to stand and watch squirrels. But this morning I actually caught Mr. Max pulling up a newly planted basil plant from the corner-of-the-bench vantage point.  He put it down fast before I had a chance to get a picture of him with the loot in his mouth.  I guess I shouldn’t have rewarded him with hamburger and rice for lunch.  Right?

Life is good!!
