You're never too young to start showing your pride with your team colors! The Red Wings BSJ and it's little hat is all complete. And I like it better than the first one I'd finished back in April. The side of the white stripe on the bottom is smoother with picking up stitches in that area with a purl stitch. It cleaned up the area very nicely, I think.
So, with this now all finished for Little Miss "B", the gifts from each of my kids for her have all been finished (ya, I know they were due back in June)...I am now just stitching up a hat for 'Daddy' to be included in the package, then Little Miss "B", her Grandpas and her Daddy can all wear their Wings Pride. I had plans of getting it all finished up this am and run to the post office before they closed at noon. The Lavender Heart Blanket is waiting, patiently for me to have finished up all the red stuff but I can hear it stomping it's foot loudly.
Well, did you catch the operative word?
You know the one....
HAD.
Yep....gotta love landlords that don't send the gardener (which is in your rental contract) since before June...which makes your yard look like this:
and like this:
Those are weeds folks. Long, hay fever producing/asthma inducing weeds. I told them in writing with the September rent check that the gardeners hadn't been here since before June. Nothing was done about it this month. So, while I was taking pictures this morning to include in the October rent check note, the eye doctor's office called. I ran over to get my new frames attached to my lenses. YEA! I thought. My nose won't get cut anymore from the nose piece being broken. And double YEA that I have a lifetime guarantee on the frames so I didn't have to pay for them to be replaced. I grabbed the hat for 'Daddy' and ran (ok gimped) out the door.
I no sooner sat down after handing over my glasses when my daughter called. "MOM! I HATE THIS HOUSE I HATE THIS HOUSE!" "What?" I thought maybe she stubbed her toe or something...nope...."There's water flooding the house! It's coming up from the tub and the base of the toilets!!!" niceeeeeeeeeee......
Up the tub, under the wall to the front door, and out the door...into the hallway and into my bedroom.... Yes, that was 4 1/2 hours ago, and still no answer from the landlord, and the water's been shut off to the house since then...think about that one for a moment....no.water.to.the.house. YEA.
I do believe I love the Rotor Rooter guy! This makes my 25' snake from Home Depot years ago..look like child's play....
Have a great weekend....and may you NOT have to 'dance' for over 5 hours.....
Oh, and my Dad's count? Home for 5 days this round...back in the hospital last night again...
