Crochet Me Crazy

I can't believe it's already Thursday!! We are still trying to get things squared away around here a little at a time. Life doesn't stop so we just have to try to get things done around everything else. Believe it or not, I still have a couch in my front yard. We had 4-H meeting this week and I spent the day in town yesterday taking Morgan and Alison for their first follow-up orthodontist visit. Now, I'm trying to decide if we have time to go to Serenity's pep rally at the school today. She has a football game tonight. Alison has dance but I should probably go to her football game tonight and watch her cheer. Had a busy morning this morning feeding all the animals and we don't normally do it but Alison and I fed the horses this morning because everyone is gone. There are 31 horses out here so it's a little more time intensive to feed horses here than it was at the other place. Since then, I've been moving junk around, burning the trash and washing clothes. I'm sitting down now for a little break. I think I'll check my washing and sit back down for a little crocheting before I make my decision on whether Alison has gotten enough school work done for us to go to the pep rally. I have to sit down and plan meals to make a grocery list some time today too....tomorrow is my grocery trip which is an all day affair. Well, hope everyone is having a great week! Here's my new back yard...

Yesterday was a fun outing. Alison and I went to San Antonio with the Stable's family. We went to the Witte Museum to see the Mummy exhibit. We went down to the Alamo area and ate. The other kid's went to the Ripley's Haunted House downtown and Alison and I went to the old Historic Menger Hotel while they were doing that. We ate and just had a general good old time....

Jeff and Michael were moving the rest of the stuff to the house while we were doing that...They were moving in all the rest of that "stuff" that you really don't know what to do with. Obviously, stuff I don't need too bad because I've been living without it for over a month now. Today, I've been working on trying to regain some of the orderliness that I had previously achieved back. Just about the time I got some order back, more came and now I'm under it. It's going to take me a few days to get things togethe. We got the RV here tonight. I have to get it cleaned and then I plan on storing some stuff in there that I don't need in the house. That should help me out. In the meantime, I packed up my crochet out of the way for the time being. It's too messy to have all that out!

I hate to say it but.... Alison and I have really enjoyed our "girls only" household we've been living in for the past month or so. It's been so peaceful, neat and tidy and running smoothly without a hitch. All that ends on Monday....Jeff should be moved out of the other place completely and Michael is supposed to be moving into our pop-up camper here until he gets his driver's license...then, he's moving in the State Park on his own to park host. HThe other second job he had gotten ended up not being a steady job but only on an as-needed basis but this week there was a new development with him. A lot of people out here have jobs managing ranches and properties for out-of-towners than own property. He was hired by a local ranch manager to help out on a ranch. Today was his first day. He should be a very busy young man with his two jobs and the park hosting duties as well. Well, here's a few picture of my sweetheart in her new yard and her looking in my window.

And here's a picture of my other sweetheart and *her* sweetheart, Princess....

I'm really out of practice at this blogging! Here's my finished Hexagon Star Scrap Afghan!! I LOVE it! Here it is modeling on my bed but I will keep it on the couch for easy snuggling. It's all single crocheted motifs which make for a durable afghan so it's definately an afghan that can be used.

If I dare...I might even like making another one of these with a set color scheme. This one was made as a scrap afghan so no yarn needed to be purchased.

Alison and I are getting all settled into our routines here at the new place. It takes awhile to get things in order in a new place the way you like them. My husband is a genious...I could barely get an internet signal before and now I've got the internet anywhere in my house. He got an internet extender so we are able to pick up their internet. We are going to pay to upgrade their speed though because they have super slow internet. Jeff will have to have it for his job. Jeff also got my washer and dryer hooked up. The pantry was deep and dark and his genious got lights in the pantry that turn on when I open the door. I had everything I needed here but there was still stuff in the old house so I've just been going over and getting car loads every now and then. There's not a whole lot left. Jeff will be moved out here by the 1st of October. Then, he'll have more time and he can start on some projects around here at the stables.

Well, guess what....I'm CROCHETING! I have a surprise and I'll post pictures shortly of what I've been working on. It's a previous project that was put away for awhile....a big project! I'm excited because I'm almost done! I'm on a mission because I'm so, so close! Stay tuned!
