It is almost time

Well it is almost time for me to leave for Idaho for the birth of my first biological grandbaby. We know it is going to be a boy and his name is going to be Zackary Lyle Tiraterra. The Lyle is after my father. I am so excited and can hardly wait to see my son and daughter-in-law and my granddaughter Kaylee (Zackary's ) 1/2 sister.

I have been busy knitting in my spare time (this being said tongue in cheek) and wanted to share what I have been making for Zackary. I am very proud of myself, as I am a relatively new knitter (since the beginning of the year) and these are my first booties and hat. I am currently working on a pair of suede boot booties that probably won't get finished until I am in Idaho. But hey, airports and airplanes are good places to knit.

I also squeaked in under the wire for signing up for SP9. I only just signed up today. Wew! I was afraid they were going to close the sign-ups before I got it done. I know, I know, it would have served me right for waiting until the last minute. But, in my defense, I have been burried in work, life and extra cirricular committments. Ask my friends, they will all vouch for me and tell you that they haven't seen me either. It looks like I will be back amoung the living by the end of October. I promised my knitting group that I would be at our November get together (I have missed the last two and am going to miss the October one). I really do miss my fellow knitters and our get togethers. (Picture a very sad face here)

I think I will go out today and start picking up goodies for my SP9's first package. Maybe I will find something in Idaho to add to it. What a great idea! This time of year is so much fun because of the change of seasons and the holidays that we will be celebrating. So many ideas and choices. Wow, I can hardly wait!

Guess I better get to getten. So much to do and so little time to do it in. Gosh I just shine when I am under pressure. I probably won't post before I leave, and won't be able to post while I am gone due to no internet service at my son's house, but I promise to post the very next day after returning from my visit..........to be continued.
