We Begin Again


Beginning 8th grade. At a new school. A school just a few blocks away. New teachers. Cool teachers he reports.  No more riding the bus.   Biking or Walking is his new way of transportation.

Official summer growth - 1" since the last day of 7th grade on June 8th. He's now 5' 5 1/2", 140 lbs, and size 11 feet. Amazing.


... but he'll always be my little boy.


Loved ones were guinnea pigs at the dining room table tonight. This dish was a hit and I'll be making this again as cold weather comfort food.


Ree Drummond's Peach-Whiskey BBQ Chicken

It was easy to make and it make's a lot - great for next day leftovers. I served it with mashed potatoes, not grits.

Off to the the Black Purl tomorrow for a day of knitting and visiting with knitting friends.  Waiting patiently for the fall yarns to arrive.

Can't believe how much he's grown in the past year. Glad to hear day one of the new school year was a success.

I keep waiting for the new Tosh yarn to start showing up but no luck. I stopped by there today and some of the new stuff is in. I might stop by a little bit tomorrow. Have a fun day.

What a handsome young man you have!

Isn't it wonderful when they start something new and LIKE it?

Hope he has a great year.

(As always, love seeing pictures of Sawyer.)

Have fun at knitting.
