Well the phone just rang... guess who's coming over again today after school? Yep Adam. There is no school tomorrow so they figure why not have the bus drop him off today instead and I can bring him home Friday instead of Saturday. He's a good boy, but this Nana is tired. Oh well, this means I have the weekend free to KNIT something. Right?
Yesterday was Adam's mothers birthday. So when I drove him home yesterday afternoon we stopped at the local flower shop on the way and I let Adam pick out a flower for his mommy. I should have brought the camera he was so cute in the store. He loves flowers. He picked out a beautiful dark red carnation. We had made a card before we left and he brought that into the shop with us. He took the flower to the counter and handed it to the lady and showed her is card too. He was so excited. She wrapped it up and put a red ribbon around it and charged me a whopping $1.00. Can't get any better then that.
I took the band aid off yesterday, the bleeding had stopped, no red lines running up my arm I figured it was all good. This morning I started a pair of slipper socks on circulars... guess how many times I poled that stupid hole in my thumb? Too many...OUCH. So I am sporting another bright red Dora band aid once more. A knitters gotta do what a knitters gotta do, right?

Well I guess that's it for me today. I have two hours before Adam arrives and I guess I watch something I have DVR'd since once he gets here NOGGIN is the only channel my TV will find.Hoping you all have a wonderful Thursday. Life is too short for us to not find the miracles in each moment. My prayer today is that you all see the wonderful miracles in your life and smile.
HUGS and PRAYERS

So sad about Mr. Chapman's daughter. And such a wonderful story about the Adam and the flower! Thanks for sharing.
Cheers, Michele

50
and is the yarn thinking in the thinking chair?
54... i hope you have a good few days. i'll be traveling, hopefully to australia and will be out of touch!
52 sounds like a good number.
I was reading about that yesterday...how awful for them and I can't even imagine being the brother and how he will deal with that.
That was so sweet with the card and the flower...ahhh.
Hugs!
That is such a tragedy for everyone involved - I can't imagine anything worse.
On a lighter note - grandchildren are such a joy - but there is a reason we have our children when we are young - it's called energy!
So you have fun with them, and then AHH - that sigh of relief when they go back home to their parents LOL.
I think I counted 20 (hey - I think that's some of my stash in there!)
I'm going to say 40....I had to laugh at the comment by Jane....Here I am 40 and have a 4 and 2 yr old...But they keep me full of life and sometimes I just do not know I have the energy to think by the time bedtime rolls around...
Hope you have a wonderful night.
I'm going to guess 36.
So sad for that family.
