When I was in college, I faithfully watched All My Children. Back in those days, there were no VCRs or DVRs or TIVOs, so you had to be faithful or you could miss something! Little did I know that fast forwarding 20+ years would bring me into my own soap opera of All My Children. (When they killed off Jenny, I quit watching the show.)
We took off Saturday for AR to close the deal on the sale of our old house. We enjoyed 3 lovely Indian Summer days down there. I took this shot outside Argenta Beads - the last gasp of summer. It always amazes me that the summer flowers look so great in the fall, and then the first frost comes and, well, they get sad in a hurry!
The 2 youngest kids went with me and they had a grand time visiting old friends and their old school. I took care of the business end, did a little shopping (more on that another day, see hint above), visited with my old friends, finished the socks that made me grumpy, and started a new project. These are the "Grumpy Socks", all done and being modeled by my ever patient DH. : )
When we were only 1.5 hrs from home, DD got sick, really sick. She went from being perfectly fine to agony in an instant. So 24 hours later I was one totally sleep deprived Momma and she is appendix-free. I was even too tired to knit (or post to this blog, obviously!). Today's a new day, third day post-op, and hopefully this will be the day the soreness noticeably subsides. The laundry is caught up (finally), and I am hoping to fall back into a normal routine. I worked a little on the JaWoll socks, finished reading a pattern, and I have another pattern that I am working on. I even escaped to Twist last night for some knitting visiting. Thursday nights at Twist are more about the visiting and stash enhancement than actually getting any knitting done.
So, it's been a topsy-turvy week, to say the least. I guess it could also be called an As the World Turns week.
This weekend is the Central Kansas Yarn Shop Hop, and I am hoping to get my "passport" and wander off to find a couple shops that aren't too far away. I hope you all enjoy a wonderful fall weekend with no unplanned chaos and plenty of time for knitting!

Just wanted to say hi. I like when I come across other AMC fans :)
Oh, so sorry to hear about DD and her surgery. Glad to hear she is doing better. Will keep her in my prayers.
Somehow I've missed seeing that you updated your blog and I'm three posts behind. Glad your daughter made it through surgery fine. It must have been scary.
