The flood of '08

So, lots of you have written and called to see if we are ok or if we are washed down the mighty and very muddy Mississippi. We are not, thankfully. We are high and dry and grateful just to gawk at the amount of water down on River Drive. Although there isn't much driving going on. Look for the little red cap of fire hydrant sticking up...it's a lot of water.

 

 

 

I'm a yarnaholic

Actually, I'm not as bad as some. How great are these colors!!!! I will be a sock knitting machine all summer!

 

 

 

This is why I've not been blogging!!

How awesome is this yarn!!! I can't wait to wear these socks! Anyone want to donate to the "Buy the sock knitter some Birkenstocks" fund???? Hahahaha!!!!!!!

 

More fun with water...

Ben can't understand why I don't do this when he's not here.....

Honestly, Ben wanted to know if I did stuff like this when he wasn't around. Are you kidding? I suppose I could but that there's Dad stuff and I would be thinking of the mess the whole time. As it turned out, it made the kids plumb tuckered out and wasn't as big a hassle to clean up after as I thought. One point for Dad!!!
