Oh my word! I haven’t posted since August 2nd?! What the hell happened to me? I was doing so good posting my monthly crafting results. Now, here it is, the end of October. I have no excuse. I’ve made some lovely crochet goodies!
Our food drive was finally over September 30th. Our initial committee meeting decided not to set a goal – that way, we wouldn’t be disappointed with a meager 5 lb of sugar donated. Fear not. Final total was $7,510 donated and 51,152 pounds (25 TONS) of food donated. No kidding. An overwhelming success! Unbelievably outstanding! And I’m so damn glad it’s over! The food and $ was divided pretty equally between the Salvation Army and God’s Storehouse. YAY us!
The snow birds have flown back to Florida for the winter. I’m always so conflicted about them leaving. I want them to have as much fun as possible – so go. I miss knowing they are only 45 minutes away – so stay. Mom and Dad have friends down there that they really enjoy spending time with – so go. They don’t like the cold – so go. I miss them – so GO anyway– HAVE A GOOD TIME!!
Let’s see… August crafts. Refinanced mortgage to escrow in the taxes & insurance and reduce interest rate and loan period! September crafts. NEW YORK CITY trip. October crafts. Looking ahead – there’s a trip to Norfolk coming up with Jes & E in November – and Chuck and the dogs and I will celebrate our anniversary at Myrtle Beach again. Then hopefully xmas will be painlessly over. Is it March yet?
Okay - crochet review!! Drum roll, please!! Ta-dah!!
August - blocks for the Pine Ridge Reservation, scarves for the Silent Auction (food drive), and finished my combo Tunisian pink blanket!
