Crochet Me Crazy

I believe there is a problem with people being able to post comments to my posts. I tried to do a little research and see what the problem could be since my settings appear to be correct. I made a change that was suggested on a message board. I will wait and see if anyone comments to let me know if it worked or not!

I actually finished the blanket last night! Yay! Adding the ribbon ended up being a very quick process. I plan to take it over to the community building this evening where I will have room to spread it out so I can take pictures of it.

Jeff went into the local town today to price some materials for the little job he's doing and came home with two more jobs and a check for the supplies for one job in hand. What we keep hearing over and over again is the same story. All the good handy-men are too busy working for the rich vacation people in the area and the rest will take your money and never do the work or else they don't do good work. He has to drive into the big town tomorrow to get supplies and hopefully he can knock out a couple of those jobs so we can actually see a little bit of extra money. We don't really expect to ever get paid for the 4 days he worked for the guy he had to quit working for. We do okay on buying necessities except Alison needs shoes and shorts. She outgrew all of her clothes from last summer and now she's wearing my old sneakers. She can now wear my shoes! Too bad we're so far away from a thrift store! I may be forced to shop at Wal-Mart when the time comes! UGH!

I called the State Park about my job today. They haven't heard back yet from the state on whether they can get special permission for us to park host and me work as a paid employee in the park. If the state says no, which won't surprise me, then we'll have to opt for the park host position since it does me no good to have a job if we have no where to park the RV for the summer.
