Back to Posting -

We have been working the last three weeks trying to get settled in enough to resume our lives! (I have tried several times today to post a picture of our house but Blogger isn't cooperating for me or anyone else it seems) I have taken lots of pictures over the last two and a half months! Last Friday evening Kim and Pam with the kids (Alexis, Kayla and Jayden) came for the weekend. Saturday mid-morning I began to look for a striped bib I had knit for Jayden. As I searched through the house for the very large red plaid plastic bag of knitting stuff (lots of needles, favorite yarns, books, patterns not to mention my knitting journal with original patterns) I had taken with me to the hotel to keep me sane. I realized, most surely, I had left it at the hotel two weeks ago! How could that possibly have happened? I freaked out while I tried to find the business card for the hotel. We didn't have a land line yet as we live in a new subdivision out in the country; not in a city or town. BellSouth and Embarq are trying to decide who is going to provide service (that's another story). I am outside calling the hotel on my cell with very spotty service (again, we live out in the country) The lady at the front desk calmly says she can't hear me and asks me to call on another phone and promptly hangs up! Finally, by facing a certain direction, I get better reception and call again. YES, they had my bag and I could pick it up anytime. She asks incredulously what do you do with all that stuff in the bag? I knit I said. "Would you knit a baby blanket for me" she asks..... Melt down. Yesterday, I typed in my address as I registered with an online yarn source thinking I might order some sock yarn; it promptly told me that I had entered an invalid address! They say it takes a year for a new address in a new subdivision out in the country to get into the system. I surely hope UPS can find me!
