Day of Updates

1.     Still reading The Bible.  I made the halfway point last week at page 828 in my Bible.  I’m trying not to be discouraged over the 828 pages remaining.

2.     Got these in the mail on Friday. 

I have funny shaped feet--not side-show funny, just unusual enough to have to order a good, supportive pair of sneakers.  Bad news?  Now I’m supposed to use them.

3.     Knitting along on current project.  Added 4 inches to the length over the weekend.  The yarn isn’t winning me over though.  It’s round like cord and has a tendency to split.  It’s also browner than it looked online.  It has a bit of stretch in it and looks ok knitted up.  All the same, I have a feeling that even with the ruffle it may not look baby enough.  Am contemplating running a light blue ribbon around the edge.

4.     Weeded the garden this weekend.  The green beans are blooming (yea!).  The corn is actually growing in its new location (yea!).  I have 4 baby squash on the vine (yea!).  There has been no rain now in over a week, and no real rain chances are in the forecast this week.  I hope we’re not heading for the same dry summer we had the last two years.  I will have to water this week as soon as I replace the hose which was sacrificed to the lawn mower last week.  Oops.

5.     Life List #92-Have a blog—So far so good on this one.  I was asking my husband how long he thought I had to maintain the blog before I could mark this one off.  He said a year.  Really?  I wasn’t going to quit any time soon, but I was thinking a month might qualify me to mark it off.  So much for (almost) instant gratification.
