And it only continues...

The weekend only got better and better. We got up early had a big breakfast, uncovered the pile of brush and set that on fire. The kids had a friend come over for the day which stopped them from picking on each other. Then the man of the house went over to a friends to help them put in a new door. When he came home to get a piece of wood they needed he brought me a present. It was a bucket with this note attached....Found my mom's knitting needles, what better person and friend to give them to. From my mom's hands to yours. Love Gxxx

I called her up and thanked her profusely for this gift. The fact that she was so close to her mother yet was giving them to me meant alot. I will need to think of something to make using said needles for her grandchildren who are her pride and joy. It may not be something from their great-grandmother but will be made using her needles.
And I was able to finish one of the rib & cable fingerless mitts. I love productive weekends like this...now if my week would just follow suit!!!
