hanging out
Hey gang,
Work is really really slow so I thought I'd bebop over to Live Journal and see what was going on with everyone.
Life at the lake is good. I've had family over the last two weekends for dinner. Gives me a good excuse to clean the house and try some new recipes. Everyone seemed to have plenty to eat and I even had a few requests for the recipe I used on the chicken wings. Go figure.
The weather cooperated this weekend and I took the boat out both Saturday and Sunday. It was great. Now have a whopping 8 hours on the engine. Can hardly wait to hit 20 so I can run it full out for a while.
I've discovered an author that I just love. Her name is Craig Rice and she wrote mysteries in the 40s and 50s. Under the name of Daphne Sanders she wrote "To Catch a Thief" which is one of my favorite movies. I've been on the hunt for some of her books since the library here doesn't have any and have been able to track down most of them. She wrote under the pen name Micheal Venning and those are still on my want list but I haven't been able to locate any of those at a reasonable price. The mysteries I've been reading are in the same vane as Dashiell Hammett's "The Thin Man". He is another mystery writer I really enjoyed. I love discovering a good author.
I've been knitting up a storm. The picture I attached is the laptop bag I made for Bre. She wanted a pink llama so she drew it and put in on graph paper, I knitted it and felted it.
Right now I'm working on a t-shirt knitted with bamboo yarn and making Bre a little bag for her computer tablet so it doesn't bang into her laptop.
Well the flooring store just called and they are able to put in my new bathroom tile floor tomorrow so I have to go and rip up the carpet. Have a good one
