I am a bit off center today. We had more lay-offs at work yesterday, and one of my fellow knitters was one of those cut. I am so saddened by that, and also wondering what the future holds for those of us remaining. The ground is very unsteady.
(I know my friend sometimes reads this, and I want her to know I am thinking about her.)
I am working on the baby kimono, about 75% finished, and turned the heel on one of the Hedera socks. No pix today.
The iris in the backyard are still beautiful, but finishing up. That is another wonderful surprise I stumbled on by accident. Planting them all around the house sort of puts them in their own different zones. I will have some iris blooming for almost 5 weeks, typically. My roses have kicked in this past week, and maybe I will get photos today for sharing.
Middle Daughter and Friend are coming for a friend's wedding next weekend, and I look forward to the visit. Then we are planning a short trip over the 4th to visit Wonderful Guy's dad and step-mom. Ahhhh....north central KS in July! I will take the opportunity to meet Wisest Sister, and maybe stop in an LYS in Manhattan. Maybe.
That's all for today. Still sort of reeling.
Oh, I do so know you you feel about layoffs. We lived under that same threat for two years and it was not fun at all.
ReplyDeleteDo you mean Manhattan as in NYC?? Do we keep crossing each other's paths but never meeting? :)
Or is it Manhattan, KS?
If you want to come as far as Lawrence, there is a simply wonderful LYS on Mass. Anyway, Mom loved to go there and they have spinning wheels and all sorts of good stuff. Think about it. (Of course, Lawrence IS much closer to me!!!) Love, WS
