A BUSY BUT SAD WEEK

I have a dear friend and co-worker who is moving back to Michigan tomorrow morning. She has been staying with us for the past few months. Sadly her father passed away in July and her mother just wasn't handling it well. Her mother was hoping she would be able to move on and get back to life but it just doesn't seem to be working and my friend needs to go home and look after her mom. I know it was a hard decision on both their parts as it would be a new beginning but yet a close to a life here. We have filled so much into this past week....shopping, eating and just laughing. I know I will see her again soon but it is still hard to say goodbye. On the other hand, the holidays are fast approaching and I have been busy finishing up my projects so that I can send them on their way.
I have been looking towards new things to knit and sew and have a few projects in mind. One being a sweater for myself....I know, seems crazy but I have not made anything for myself in years.....I am looking forward to checking out some of the yarn sites and deciding which colors to use. I have some other news too....we have decided that we are going home to New England...we will put the mobile home on the market right after the new year and plan on being home in the spring. I look forward to being with my kids and grandkids. I have really had enough of this big city and long for the small towns and being with my family. Mom and Dad are also going back....we are hoping they will fly back right after the holidays and then we will drive back when we sell. another adventure awaits us.
Happy knitting and blogging
