30 Years

Yesterday, Hubby and I celebrated 30 years of marriage.

We celebrated by going out to dinner at a local restaurant.

The lazy summer days have caught me. I haven't spent much time crafting at all this past week. Of course, my daughter was visiting for the July 4th holiday. I didn't want to waste any of our time together. We went shopping returning (she had purchased a lot on-line). . . great mother-daughter time. As a family we went to Belmont Racetrack for the Stars and Stripes Festival on the 4th. We all had a somewhat winning day at the races!

I started a new project at the end of last week. 

Does the yarn above look familiar? Those of you who read this blog last summer followed my trials and tribulations in knitting a vest for my mom. In the end, that vest was waaaaaay too large for mom. I had one skein left over, so I am starting another vest for mom. This one has a much easier pattern and I now know the correct size to make for her (I measured her favorite purchased vest). Mom has returned the too-large vest to me and I will frog it to use the yarn in this new pattern. Sigh......

I am joining Ginny for Yarn Along this week after a long absence. What are you knitting/crocheting? What are you reading? I recently finished reading Crazy In Love by Luanne Rice. This is an older book and I can't say that I really enjoyed it. I found the main character to be way too dependent on her husband and marriage for her happiness and although her journey through that was part of the crux of the story, I did not find it interesting. There was too much angst and too much sorrow for my taste. 
I am currently reading The Girl on the Train by Pamela Hawkins. 

I won this book in a giveaway from Kat at Through Our Garden Gate. I know this is a best seller, but there is not a likable character in this entire book. As for it being a thriller....no it is just a drawn out mystery that I am currently not interested in solving. I will finish reading it and then pass it on to my daughter. 

Thanks for stopping by!
