A Non-Knitting Update
Jun. 23rd, 2004 07:01 amBeen a while, I know. Just hasn't been that much to talk about, other than knitting.
Played hooky from work on Sat, and spent the day resting and finishing the round crocheted rug. Talked with my sister a bit on the phone. She was settling down to a day without husband or son underfoot, and not sure what to do with the time. Went to the HSA Safety defrag meeting/party that evening, did some knitting, had a good tim, got home very late. Would have stayed later, but the recorder group was playing at noon on Sunday, in the long-term care facility for retired nuns at St Mary's in Leavenworth. One of the sisters got out her recorder and joined us, which was cool. She had a truly lovely ebony Moeck alto....looked like the same model as my good soprano, nice tone. Spent Monday and Tuesday finishing projects and being a bum.
By's been doing some work for Terry, not as much as he'd like. He's helping Robyn with stuff today, getting more fo the doll stuff moved and sorted. He finished (and got paid for) a leather belt and hand-forged buckle for an acquaintance who's working RenFest this year; every little bit helps.
His dad had a suggestion, when By called for Father's Day: rather than go get a "real job" to tide him over until thing pick up for Robyn, Dad suggested By work for his folks down at the farm. There's lots of maintenance that needs to be done on those buildings, and By's uncle doesn't have the time (and has a bad back), and isn't any closer than we are. Probably be a couple weekends a month, and we'd probably both go down....I could work on the yard, and tidy in the house, and be there to fetch and tote things. So sometime soon, we need to make a day trip down, at least, and make a list of what needs to be done, and get that off to his folks.
