Last weekend of August
On the crocheting front, I'm about 3/4 of a ball into my latest lapghan project. The pattern is called Rainbow Ripple Baby Blanket. The photos I've seen of completed blankets look really pretty. Mine is not coming out so well, though. Perhaps that's because I haven't yet crocheted enough to get consistent tension, or perhaps it's something else ( Read more... ) -
Packing up a bag of donations for Goodwill of North Georgia
I intend to drop these off at the Old Peachtree Rd donation center tomorrow, July 1.
2 pairs of barely worn shoes $27.00
4 pairs of jeans, 3 of which were never worn (way too long & too big) $48.00
8 tops $58.00
Total: $133.00I'm using the salvation army valuation website to calculate values. For the jeans, I picked the top value of slacks since ( Read more... ) -
It was an accident
I decided to change it up today and go to Martin Farm park. I chose the north part of the trail. It's not a loop, so I walked for about 15 minutes, then turned around and went back to my car. That turned out to be about a mile! I did not intend to go from 1/2 mile to a full mile in one fell swoop, but that's what it turned out to be. I had to ( Read more... ) -
Walk day 2
I walked the same 1/2 mile loop at George Pierce park at lunchtime today. However, I walked it in reverse today. Yesterday, there was no one else on that trail. Today there was a young man walking a beautiful black cocker spaniel and an older gentleman.
Tomorrow I may try a different loop that is just a bit longer. The sign says it's 6/10 of a -

A start...
It's shocking, I know. I even shocked myself, but I decided to go for a short walk at lunchtime today. I took a short walk (maybe 1/2 mile) on one section of the trail over in George Pierce Park. I made it all the way around without sitting down or leaning on the bridge rails. I did stop once to catch my breath, and coming up the last little bit ( Read more... ) -
Feeling proud of myself
When I visited my cousins in Charlotte before Christmas, I wore my favorite scarf. It's a pattern called French Cancan. My cousin loved it and asked if would make her one a salmon colored one. I didn't commit because she didn't know that I was giving her a different handknit scarf for Christmas ( Read more... )
