...it will come right back in season. Back with the chilly weather here, putting the "North" into "North Texas." We were fortunate Friday to have our heat pump fixed -- the fear was that we would need to replace our old unit. Should be able to get at least one more year out of it. If anyone in the DFW area needs a recommendation for an HVAC repair person, message me and I'll give you Hector's number.
College ball was the big news this weekend. I know, I know. I didn't think I'd ever write about sports on my blog, either. Cousins Dave and Jon came down from Nebraska for the Nebraska-UT game on Saturday. Nebraska lost 13-12 in the last second of the game. We had precious little time with them because it was a drill weekend, but were thrilled to have them come down. Managed to eat lunch with them Saturday at The Railhead in Fort Worth, and Jeff was able to give them a tour of one of our planes. (That was at the same time I was dying a slow death by power point/video presentation. Knitting kept me awake and sane.) We learned that a whipped cream bribe will get Frank to make an appearance in front of company and were reminded that Norton knows no strangers.
Jeff still has the crud, and I'm teetering just over on the healthy side of things, so I'm trying to take it easy. I would love to start posting pictures of what I'm knitting, but it will have to wait another two-and-a-half weeks until everyone has received their Christmas presents! My Ravelry page is short quite a few pictures.
Time to make breakfast/brunch. I'll upload some pictures later today.
Receiving supervision while I trim the hedge along the driveway.
Cold weather makes for cuddly cats.
Norton inspects the Christmas cactus. The cactus is eleven years old. It used to be three times its current size, but was neglected for about six months when my house sitter stopped showing up. It is recovering beautifully!
Frank was on hand to help me warp my new Kromski Harp, 32" rigid heddle loom. I managed to keep my discipline at the Kid 'n Ewe Festival this year and only bought one skein of yarn (Plain and Fancy) for An American in China, but the Harp kept calling my name! Speaking of Kid 'n Ewe, not all whiskers are on kittens!
Still trying to get the Christmas knitting done and enjoying the cold weather.
