Fireworks

Fireworks
Daughter Liz is coming home tonight to spend the weekend.We are having a big picnic here before the fireworks on Sat.It is the perfect view of the fireworks as they put them off directly across the river from our deck.
Tonight will be spent at Sam's club and then she will basically take over.She has always been such a great help even when she was in elementary school. I am so proud of her.
Knitting has been using Cat Bordhi's book to knit socks with 2 circulars. Today I am off to NYC on a bus trip with a friend so the socks will be perfect for the trip. One was completed on the trip to Lancaster last week.
I am not sure if I like using circulars or dpns best. I felt very clever using the dpns but sometimes stitches would fall off when packing them away .Circulars are easier with that and I don't notice those ladders I used to get with dpns.

News-

Winnie was our first pug. I had read an article about pugs in Dog Fancy which said pugs have the big dog personality in little bodies. I bought Winnie from a lady in Sullivan County .We loved Winnie so much that we continued to add more pugs to our family.This last year she has had a very hard time walking.My poor husband found her dead this am.

Have not had time to post lately as the last 2 weeks have been busy. I spent the last few days at Lancaster , Pa with my sister.We took a spinning class together yesterday. It was fun but unfortunately I have been suffering with vertigo and and pressure in my ears so I spent early this am in the Urgent Care.Tomorrow I go to an ENt doctor. I am trying to find the energy to clean up and get ready for the the knitting group from the spinning guild that is coming here in a few hours .


But the hardest part is that my oldest pug Winnie died this morning. These dogs become one of the family and it is so very sad.
