Laundry Day

I have spent the day doing laundry and playing Mahjong. When everything get dry I will pack it away. Frogged Walens blanket once again -- I think he had best be settling for the fleece blanket of mine, he already appropriated. I have trouble working with any yarn but baby yarn it seems, and the crochet cotton and steel hooks I can manage fine, too.

Not too much going on here -- tomorrow is errand day, giving the cell phone number to the bank along with our address in CA. And some things to pick up at various places. I need one more backpack for the things under my desk such as my sewing kit, crochet kit and the samples bag. When I get back, I have to bathe Amy as she smells of river water from where she fell in.

I bathed Walen yesterday and he wasn't too happy about that, but his fur is pretty when it's clean. I guess I should bathe Pyewacket, but I have to work up the nerve for that fight!

Getting Closer

Finishing up the packing -- Tuesday should be the last of the packing except for the last minute things. I packed my net shopping bag with diapers for Walen and his clothes, some reading material, dog sweaters and leashes.

I have frogged Walens new blanket twice -- after having the oval rug start rolling up into what looked like a gravy boat -- I frogged that and tried a rectangle shaped one - to have it look like a dog bone in shape! Frogged that one so we are back to a rectangular granny and it is turning out fine.

As I thought, the baby pinafore and diaper panty set fit my Bitty Baby look a like perfectly. Once we are settled, I will find out which hospital needs baby items and start crocheting again. This set I can't donate yet as I had to use velcro as the closing, since I can't find my needle threader to thread a needle and sew on buttons. Just a reminder, everyone, old age is not for sissies!

Well, she has to go back into the doll chest with her new clothes on-- as did the Baby Steps dolls -- they will be riding in the pickup bed -- no room in the inside!

Final packing of the truck will be Thursday afternoon except for the breakfast items and our bedding. Those will be packed last minute, before we leave for the bank to pick up my retirement check, and we will stop at Wal-mart on the way out of town to pick up the necessary prescriptions, get on I-79 and haul butt for home!
