Well there was a deer & ….

There was my dad driving my car to the gas station to fill the tires. Apparently he didn’t see the deer and the deer decided to commit suicide on my car. My dad and Smokey (who loves to go for car rides - I think he believes the car may take him to PetSmart so it is worth the gamble) are both alright, but my car that I have had only since September 5th needs some work.

my poor car

This has caused my weekend to be filled with figuring out what to do for transportation. Luckily the car is drivable in the daytime, unluckily I leave before full sunup. So I will be driving my mom’s car and she will drive mine - this will work at least until it get turned in for the work to be done. Also, we don’t have to pay anything (at least not up front - it will cause an increase in insurance) due to the insurance will pick up the bill 100%.

I will try to get a FO photo of Smokey’s bed up and maybe those sweaters for Natalie will get finished as well this week.

Sorry - still recovering from this weekend

This past weekend found me and my parents traveling to Starlight, IN to visit Jo Huber’s Farm. We were meeting up with my sister and her family to take Natalie pumpkin picking for the first time. I managed to get sunburned and the whole trip has just wiped me out as it also managed to trigger one of my chronic medical conditions that I normally have very little trouble with. Combine that with the last 2 days at work and I am beginning to feel like I am just managing to stay above water. I am hoping that I will be able to get things back on track in order to post again by this weekend with an update on life, knitting and possibly some actual FO photos. No promises, just know I am trying to get back to posting regularly.

I will leave you with a photo of Natalie and her Daddy from the pumpkin patch - that is the pumpkin she picked out and took home.
