Hi, all!!!
Just a note to bring things up to date. Since my last
post, my stepfather (David) had an operation to remove a tumor from his
bladder, and has another surgery and treatment scheduled on May 9th. More news
as it becomes available.
We also found out this week that Bill’s mother (Arlene)
has a lump on her neck that is suspect, and though she doesn’t give us great
detail, the words “oncologist” and “chemo” have been used in her emails.
Prayers are appreciated for both David and Arlene and the
families.
In more upbeat
news, it’s May, and spring has come to Seattle (at least for a week). It’s too
bright out for me, but the other people seem to be enjoying it. ;-)
I have a scrapbook crop on Saturday where I’ll be working
on scrapbooking our wedding photos (5 and a half years later). In my spare time, I’m knitting a sweater,
testing a pattern for a gal on Ravelry. I’m about 20-25% of the way through it
and have until the third week of May to get it done. Wish me luck! That also
means all of my other projects are on hold… one of these days I’ll have another
pair of matching socks. Right now I have three single socks waiting for mates.
I actually have four, but I don’t like that sock so I don’t think I’ll be
making another one. I also want to make a pair of Mariners’ colors socks for
the July 25th Stitch and Pitch game. Baseball and yarn! YAY!
I guess that’s about the news for now. Thanks in advance
for your thoughts and prayers.
Blessings,
Kristin
