A Short Note.....

 I still have a few socks. If there is interest, leave a message and I will post the pics.


A memory from 2013.....

At Work

Squeegie is learning to play the guitar that Munchie and Curtie brought him from the Build-A-Bear store in their mall.

Taffy is knitting some socks.  As I mentioned previously I am trying to use up my sock yarn (in fact all of my yarn stash) and Taffy is very kindly helping with that project!

I love this picture of Daddy (Jeff) minding the dogs outside while Mommy and the boys have a visit of us.  

Meanwhile the boys were in the house having a drink.

I looked out the sliding doors at the rear of our unit and caught this little fellow percing on one of our chairs having his lunch.

While upstairs in the bedroom, Happy and Furbee were checking the weather to see if they would go someplace exciting.

Taffy is still knitting, while trying to teach Gracie how to do it too!

Meanwhile Poppa is using my swift to wind some skeins into cakes for us, so we can use the yarn bowl to knit more socks!

Our next door neighbor got a new car.  It is sooo nice, a Lincoln....made both Poppa and me remember when we had a Lincoln too.

Among other projects, Poppa is refurbishing and old model John Deere tractor.  When he got it this part was a heap of rust - just look at it now!

And, right now, the rock gardens around the garden apartments were getting more and more filled in with grass and weeds and were becoming very unattractive!

Munchie and Curtie came to help Poppa with this project and this is a picture of the part they have finished!  What a difference - and it isn't easy - every stone had to be taken out and piled, then all the grass and weeds dug out by hand, then all the stones put back in an attractive manner.  What a great job they are doing.

Their shoes were getting worn and dirty, so Poppa took them to the store and got them each a pair for getting dirty!  Curtis chose these runners.

While Munchie chose a more stylish version.  They are already dirty as you can see - but he had worn a hole right through the sole of his crocs!

Of course, he couldn't resist climbing up the stairs to the top - he's still a bit of a monkey!

All too soon, they will be on their way back home, but they have a couple more days to go!  Thank you boys!  And thanks to Mommy and Daddy for letting us borrow them!
