Yesterday after Dylan left for home I left to go to the cottage for a few days of peace and quiet. I stepped into the cottage and immediately turned and called Jerry. There was about 3 inches of water covering the kitchen, living room and den floors. A pipe had broken in the ceiling above the frig. Jerry came right over. I swept water out of the house and dried up what I could. We ended up calling Brad's Cleaners. They came at about 8:30 and started drying things out. I went home after Jerry had called Brad's (like 7:00) as there was nothing I could do further. Today I went back and spent about 3 hours boxing up the things in the kitchen cupboards. Jerry arrived at 2 p.m. and that's about when I left.
I had thought to straight home and get some of that 'peace and quiet', but I just kept driving! I went to Greenville to the 'dime store' and bought yarn. I had tried to start a baby sweater for Steph's new Danielle, the shower is Sunday, and it was a disaster. I have little yarn to make baby things with. I ended up buying 2 Bernat's cotton tots in a white with touches of pastels, 2 of the same in blue, 2 Patons SWS in a lovely color called 'Natural Geranium', 3 in white with threads of pastels. When I got home I looked for a pattern to make up a sweater for the baby. I choose the one I used for Angelina when she was born. I had used a yarn that was just heavier than baby weight for hers, so this is a worsted weight cotton and making up much larger and faster. Angelina's fit her as a new baby. This will most likely not fit for a while on Danielle. It is looking very pretty. Now the challenge is to get it done!
Jamison came home from the hospital yesterday. Taday Michelle took both the kids to the doctors. Jamison is recovering and now Taylor has pneumonia too! At least it is the weekend and hopefully all can recover. Poor babies!
Well, I'm off to knit some more and watch one of my ol' stand-by movies...they don't take too much contration.
