Six and Some Random Thoughts

 Finished project of the year number six is hot off the loom.  Actually it is hot off the loom and in the mail ready to be shipped to my sister.  It is made of soft baby alpaca and silk, and is so yummy and gorgeous to touch.  I am all about grey so this shawl is perfect.  Something about the softness of grey, it is so versatile and neutral all at the same time.  Grey can be so beautiful don't you think?

I have had a busy week so I am going to be rather random here.  I find the floor of my oldest son's room to be sort of like an archaeological site.  Clothes and wet towels from three days ago are at the bottom of the pile with today's clothes on top.  I can tell what he wore everyday depending on where it lays in the pile.

I feel that way about his clean laundry pile, also.  I just keep cleaning the clothes and folding them up, layer after layer until he finally, after much prodding takes them up to his room.  Here they occasionally get put away, but more often than not they merge with the clothes on the floor.  My boy will have a rude awakening next year when he is off to school.  He already knows how to do laundry, but when he actually has to do it, while keeping up with swim practice and school.....this will be interesting to see.

I can not believe it is the end of January already.  Where is the time going?

I talk about my Max all the time.  He is the sweetest, most sensitive dog.  When my kids were young, if one of them had an ear infection than sure enough Max would get one, too.  My oldest son sprained his right ankle pretty badly last Thursday.  Wouldn't you know Max hurt his right front paw on Monday chasing after a ball.  I took him to the vet today just to make sure it wasn't serious.  He is getting better but still hobbling a bit.  It told her about my son's ankle and she told me she sees this all the time with Golden Retrievers.  I think that is amazing. 

This has been an odd year weather wise has it not?  Lack of snowfall for many, blizzards for others.  Here in Florida it has been exceptionally warm.  I know I shouldn't complain, but it is so hot here most of the year we like a bit of a change so we can wear sweaters and scarves.

Speaking of scarves, I have had them all stacked of a shelf.  Some get pushed to the back where you never see them.  Walking thought Target the other day I noticed a shoe organizer that hangs from your closet shelf like a clothes hanger.  There are ten single compartments for shoes.  I bought it and now have a perfect place to store my scarves.  They are neatly folded and I can see each one.  Perfect.

How is that for random?
