Anniversary flowers

My mother in law is doing well I believe, thank you to all who sent emails and good wishes and prayed. I said she was a strong willed woman and hope that keeps her around for a very long time as she loves life and travelling. I would hate to see her go before she is ready…..she has lots to do yet….good grief 80 is the new 60…not sure if I have that around the right way but you get my point I guess!

 

We had a lovely anniversary dinner and the next day some gorgeous flowers arrived from David’s family in England…which was lovely of them considering all that was going on. I told my parents by email just in case anything happened to Sue and mentioned in the email that it was our Silver Wedding Anniversary and we received a card two days later so am wondering if they would have remembered if I had not prompted them.

 

I have fabulous news regarding friendship, my friend from high school with whom I went to see Led Zeppelin contacted me today after reading that post…she must have Googled herself or someone was checking on her…amazing. Am so happy as have long wondered about her and her girls. She is in Korea of all places…looks like we are not the only ones who have travelled and left people behind.

I am on the second strip of my afghan and have gathered together quite a bit of wool in the subtle heather like shades of this colourway and have found I have nowhere near enough in the brights colourway so the hunt is on in thrift shops and sales for those.

  1. I’m sorry I missed your anniversary. Happy belated…and many more. The flowers you received are beautiful indeed!

    Speaking of beautiful…the afghan you are making is gorgeous!

    I hope your MIL continues to recover and is able to get back into the swing of things. You are right…80 isn’t all that old anymore. The closer I get to 60 the younger 80 becomes. :)

  2. PS…I emailed my addy to you.

  3. Thanks Judy and also for your address, should have some goodies for you sent off tomorrow. The afghan is coming along and it uses the most minute amounts of wool which is wonderful for all those little bits that are leftover. I have a lot of hairy sparkly glittery wool, the sort that was around recently and everyone knitted scarves with it….and am going to mix one ball of that type with an eight ply wool also to do a more hairy sparkly kind of blanket …should be nice and textured. So I have three I want to knit…one actually knitting and then I discovered this on flickr yesterday and am in love….
