Summer Retirement Internship . . . for Two!

May 17, 2012

Well, my friends . . .

I got a phone call yesterday and there will be a slight change in plans for a while.  Gr8 is coming for a good long visit and will be staying at my house long enough to attend Goodnight’s middle school graduation.  I’m thrilled!  As close as Smalltownville is, I’m usually driving in for a weekend and having to get back for my work and GN’s school.  Now we will have leisurely chats and no hasty good-byes.

As far as my Summer Retirement Internship goes, there won’t be too many changes in my plans.  I just get to have company with everything I do and as a bonus, there will be someone to play cribbage with during the day while GN is at school.  My Grammy field trips will be more fun with my mother joining me.  Gr8 will get to watch GN play softball and attend the athletic banquet, too.  We will take two strolls each day: down the block and down memory lane.  I love it already.

I still have to sew GN’s graduation dress, but it will be so much more pleasant with the one who taught me how to sew keeping me company.

I’ll be back when I get the chance, but it may not be until after graduation – and that’s not until early June.  Boy am I glad for my ’chore and a drawer a day’ work routine.  It keeps things presentable for a last-minute changes in plans.

Must scoot and get the summer sheets on Gr8′s bed.

Cast Off

May 17, 2012

Interesting words, “cast off.”

1) It could mean that I’m blowing this blog and ready to take a boat ride.

2) It could also mean that I have completed a knitting project and have taken the final stitches off my needle.

3) The words could imply that I am throwing/giving something away or setting something aside.

Or . . . . .

4) It could mean that GN has her cast off and is ready to get back in the game.

Here’s a hint: Pick #4 for today.  The only problem is, that her team faces the same team with the bad pitching that got her into the cast in the first place.  :-(   

I’m hoping for rain . . .
