Once again, I’m tellin’ ya that I should come here more often. Each time I take the time to log in and write something I find more changes that need to be figured out. All those options that we can add. If you see any odd calendars, forms, etc. don’t get worried, I’m just playing.

How has your June been going?

I’m still here being Safer at Home. After all, my governor is That Woman From Michigan. No, I don’t think she’s gone overboard with her restrictions. She makes me think of my childhood when we would get grounded or sent to time out in our rooms. Mom would tell us it was for our own good. Then, she would follow that up with “It’s just as bad for me as it is for you.”

That didn’t make sense to me until I had my own daughters and they were in need of a time-out or grounding. Totally understood. Yes, when a parent puts a child in a time-out, that parent sure better participate and be right there keeping an eye on the Time-Out Kid. Wanna know why? My sisters and I were very creative when it came to entertaining ourselves during time-outs. They turned into play time. Once when Dad was cleaning out the cold air return ducts he found out when he pulled toys, balls, etc. out of them. We were sending toys to each other since all three bedrooms were lined up and the same rather large duct went to all three. Ah yes.

Knitting has been going on. Last week I finished a summer cotton tee that was just my own no-pattern project. Stitches were cast on and knitting happened. There is so much yarn to use here so I just chose two cottons and went for it.

I’ve got two more sweaters in progress. One is Dawe by Amy Miller.

The other is Pacific Pearl Lace Tee by Alexandra Sakota.

I’ll let you know how they go. So far, they’re going well and both should be done by the end of the month.

Be careful! Stay safe!

Remember, no matter where you live, the restrictions are for your own good. They are not political, they are not spiteful. Because of all this mess I have not seen my twin grandsons since February and they only live two counties away in the middle of one of the most infected in Michigan.

Let’s make this go away by using our best judgement and remembering that a few months of being grounded is way better than being sick and possibly ending up with lifelong after effects.

Be Patient – Not a Patient.
