A new mat for the tramp!




Liam is very exited, but not really into helping with the work. Removing the old mat and adding the new one takes lots of arm strength. Rick and Jordan are kind enough to pitch in, while Liam has more important duties to address...

Tacos, Ailments, and Socks


La Familia has tacos on sale for the entire month! Tonight we had tacos, enchiladas, and burritos for Jordan and Billy. Yum!

Tomorrow is Jordan's last day of school, and I have a feeling Tandoori Oven is in our future for lunch. Double Yum! Hopefully Jordan will be feeling better. He went to bed super early tonight, with gastrointestinal ailments.

Here's the sock progress. A different kind of heel. I'm nearly ready to do the tow. I'll have extra of this yarn, so I'm thinking socks are in Kimmie's future!!

Pre-frogged Sock and Post-frogged socks


Here's a picture of the sock on my foot....way too big, so I frogged it! You can see that the needles are well past my toes, and I had quite a bit of decreasing left to do.


The next picture shows the newly started sock (tadpole??). I'm using a pattern generated by a sock calculator this time! this one will have a shorter cuff, all ribbed.

Spring Deluge


So much for working in the yard today! A long, heavy rain is upon us! On the bright side, everything is nice and green.
