I'm making an afghan. Yes, an old lady thing, but with a twist. It's all Doctor Who. Hi, my name is Suzanne, and I'm a Whovian. Something fun to do. I've been working on it for weeks. There is still a lot to do. Open areas awaiting inspiration and fresh ideas. Crocheted borders wait for clipped yarn edges. A lighted magnifier on the dining table assists with the main project.
It's been a lovely week so far. I attended a baby shower to welcome a new great niece. It was held at the Burnett Mansion. Until recently it was a private home, about six thousand square feet, if memory serves. There is even a ballroom. It's a gorgeous place. Easy to imagine the gracious lives that once were lived there. I saw relatives, former relatives, and many friends. I cuddled and rocked our newest little one for a long time. That was the best part.
A trip to Porter to get some peaches was fun. People were lined up to the road to get in. It was worth the wait, the peaches are delicious. I've been eating those, and bananas all week. Hopefully, I'll lose a few pounds in the process. There were so many that I've taken some to friends.
The yard is mowed. I use an old fashioned reel mower. Simple to use, no fuel or any maintenance to deal with, and easy to push. I miss quite a bit every time I mow. The way I handle it is to hope that I miss different areas each time.
The house is clean, and the laundry is caught up. I tried a different brand of bleach, and now my knickers are yellow. Not bleach yellow, more a sunshine kind of yellow. Just as well, I have a linen dress from Haiti. It's a bright, sunny, yellow. I guess it works out in my favor.
Tonight, I finished listening to a season of Upstairs Downstairs. Now, I'm starting a season of Buffy. It's a cheesy, fun show, with a lot of sass. Some nights I listen to music, others I listen to tv shows or a movie. On others, I listen to books. Variety being the spice of life, and all that.
Later, my nephew will come and stay for the night. I got my old telescope out of the closet today, and will give it to him. He's a science geek, planning his future at MIT and beyond. Last year, we bonded over Quantum Physics. This year, we're having fun over everything science related.
I'm taking a comforter to the laundromat, and plan to bathe my beastie. Those are my big chores for the day, along with dusting. I try to stay on top of the big chores.
Enough for now....
