We are over the hump! We made it through another Summer. We have been having cool mornings and almost cool evenings. Nice.
I was just sitting on my back porch and thinking about you. I have not had anything to share for several days. I have been busy working on a sweater I am going to name: IMAGINATION GONE AMUCK. I have a large wicker basket into which I throw various balls of yarn left after finishing projects and I decided to make a crocheted sweater out of those many colors. It makes me thing of Joseph's Coat of Many Colors or Dolly Parton's coat of the same name. I have had so much fun with it, it is a riot of colors. When one ball of yarn runs out, I simply attach another color, helter skelter. I will take a picture and share it when it is finished. I have enough (more than enough) to make another one and may do that very thing.
While sitting on my back porch thinking of you, I was listening to people come home from work. Living on a dirt, washboard road, I first hear a rumble. Makes me think of the song, "Wabash Cannonball" I hear the melody in my head. I believe the first line of the song goes, "Listen to the whistle, the rumble and the roar". I hear those, mostly pickups, coming nearer and then I can see them over the Creosote bushes and cactus. There are a greater percentage of pickup truck out here than than auto's. It is so nice to think that I also am on the other side of the hump. I don't have to do that commute and seldom ever have to have done it. I have been blessed with a husband who, through God, has allowed me to stay home and just be a home maker. I have always and always will love that title. Home maker. That is me!

Hi Connie,
I thought sure you had gone on another vacation. In fact, I just told Clif tonight you must have gone to Tennessee. So, I was a little surprised that you have been right there all the time just knittin' away. I think it's fun to create something just "willy nilly". I know what you mean about staying home and being a homemaker. That's me too. All the time I've been married the only time I worked was the 10 years I worked at LHCC as secretary, and that was more fun than work. I remember hearing that
Cannonball song back as far as I can remember. That's an oldie.
