I just wrote a whole post and moved away without saving to get a picture and lost it all uggg

 This weekend I went to my grandson’s playoff baseball game.  The were seeded number  8 and played the number 1 team and lost 12 to 9 in the last inning.   The pitching was great.   My grandson the Pitcher !

 After the game we went out to dinner - his choice of places - any restaurant on the Berlin Turnpike or in Wethersfield or Rocky Hill (I was hoping for Saybrook Fishhouse).   We went to Taco Bell and then to UP in 3-d.   What a great movie. 

Later we walked Beckette and he dodged another “bag pick up”.

My granddaughter, while I”m on the subject of grandchildren went to visit her Uncle Chris and Aunt Beth this weekend.  I think they spoiled her, which is not hard to do.  Her is Ryan and also my unnamed Granddaughter

And let’s not forget my youngest grandson, Jake, who will perform Yankee Doodle Dandy at Miss Joni’s pre-k graduation on Wednesday!

Here he is, Mr. Blueberry Eyes himself: 

I didn’t mention that I forgot to make button holes in the sweater mentioned in the last post.  I bought some ribbon and used snaps instead.  I think I’m going to take off the front snaps and put ribbon on that side too.  Don’t know why I didn’t think of it before.

I just need to weave in the ends on the baby blanket and I can go back to my “Helen’s custom fit sideways sweater” on Tuesday, and knit in public at Sit N Knit Too in honor of Knit in public day.

Well now it’s 12:16 and all I’ve done today is blog, manage email and pictures and read the morning paper.   Off to be highly effective.   ciao

I’ve been busy taking care of people lately.  First my granddaughter stayed with me for 5 days because she has a perforated ear drum and then she went home Saturday and her brother spent the night along with my daughter who had sciatic nerve pain and was on bed rest.  Wednesday everyone went home and we went to the Harvest Festival at Joni’s.  That night I just sat on the couch and knitted , skipped stitch n bitch.  

On a knitting note, I’ve been busy with my February lady’s sweater and in between I’ve been working on a pair of socks and finished an Odessa hat.  Here they are:

 On Wednesday, John and I were invited by my grandson to eat at their harvest festival.  Here’s a picture of Jake, gram-pa is standing outside the picture because he had a hard time sitting on the chairs.  Knees aren’t what they used to be

 Last week we went to Cabela’s to get a deer whistle.  I wanted to lure the deer closer to watch.  It was an interesting place.  The had a couple of museum rooms and in one of them they that stuffed game.  I took a picture of this fisher cat that are roaming in our back yard and the reason we have no squirrels.

I’m off to write the menu for Thanksgiving Dinner and to keep on truckin’ on the lace.
