I am still alive

Hi anybody who runs into this blog,
Along with the title of this blog, we just got back from a tour to Germany, Switzerland, and Austria. Great trip. Most of the other 39 people along, had some kind of farming experience. We saw a lot of landscape, Alps, and other tour buses. It was 12 days of great scenery. I took almost 700 pictures. Will keep most of them just on a disk and on the computer. Hard copies are expenceve even at 15 cents a piece. I would like to add a token picture to this days blog, but don't seem to be able to bring up the way to do it.
Perhaps I will add more tomorrow.

Long time, you know

Boy, it has been a long time since I have written anything. I guess I should just write for my own use. It seems to be futle to write when no one sees it but me.
We have been to Florida and back. Howard had knee replacement surgery in Lakeland, Fl. He is doing very well. Of course he thinks he should be all well by now. He had it on May 20th. Just 6 weeks ago I think. He did therapy at home so I didn't get much spinning in. Did knit and felt a big purse. Didn't get the zipper in yet. Hope I can get a picture of it soon. Now I am working on a hat with lots of cables and lumps. Got to go to a Grandaughter's open house now. More Later I hope.

Lakeland

We are here! Boy is it hot and dry. Many of the plants that I put out last winter are all dried up and dead. Boo Hoo. Just thought I might loose them to frost, never considered the drought. Thank goodness the fires are over on the east coast. Shouldn't say that cause they are sure causing a lot of sadness over there.
We are just sort of marking time till Howard's surgery on Tuesday. Got everything put away and washed. Don't really know how things will be when he gets home. I do know the first few days will not be pleasant for him. Then the therapy will be bad and I must make him do it. He is always a good patient though.

Spinners group

We had a good meeting last night. The Spinning Group meets at the Canfield fairgounds once a month. We don't have rules or a real meeting. We just get together and spin. There were 9 ladies there I think.
Need to go get some things for Howard today. Still need to clean some more, but might just buy dessert at Sam's today. Cheese cake sounds good. Too good. I would probably eat the left-overs. Not good.
Maybe more later.

Much to do and I don't want to!

Company is coming and my house is a mess like usual. Must get more straighted up. Also must make a dessert. Going out to eat then will ask them to come in for dessert. Lots of fun, but should be more ready for company more often.

Sucess!

I got the picture thingy to work on Ravelry. Not really sure how, but they are there. Click on the text of Ravelry on the side and get there.
