Love Notes

It's been a wonderful week.  Lots of cloudy days with much needed rain.

I spent time doing things I love.  Cooking, crafting, reading and yes, some

writing too.  The whole week was like a love note to life.

I am progressing with my granny squares.  I am finally comfortable enough

to crochet a square without having to refer back to the YouTube tutorial.  Now

I can sit and crochet while we watch the Olympics on TV.  

I found another tutorial and I am teaching myself how to make scalloped edges so

that when all the granny squares are completed and sewn together, I can create a more

finished look.

My next crochet project will be to make another granny square afghan but

this time I will use extra soft baby yarn.  My cousin and his wife recently had

their second grandchild, a little girl named Teagan.  I want to make a rag

doll for her too and maybe a busy book that she can take to church with her

when she gets a bit bigger.  This should be fun!

I am reading a mystery that I am enjoying.  It is The Body in the Boudoir by

Katherine Hall Page.   I have not read any books by this author before,

have you?

Today I am getting my chores done.   Laundry is in the washer.

The family room needs to be dusted and vacuumed.  We live in that

room on weekends, so I want it to be all fresh and ready for us to

settle in and be comfy.  I am guessing that there is some kind of golf

tournament (there always is) that David will want to watch.  I am

yearning for some Cajun food, so I want to make some shrimp 

etouffee and maybe some red beans and rice with the andouille 

sausage in the fridge.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Big Texas Hugs,
