It's been a revolving door here this summer and Saturday my niece Sarah and nephew Craig arrived from the Bradenton/Sarasota area. We have had a great time eating BBQ and hamburgers. They are both so beautiful and handsome - today they make a trip to Tallahassee to visit friends plus go shopping. We end the day by going out with friends for supper.

As for my sampler shawl from Folk Shawls, I am making progress - and I anticipate being done by the end of this weekend - how's that for being the eternal optimist? I am ready to see completion of this so I can move on to some other projects. I have friends whose children are having babies, and something else needs to get on the needles! I am perusing baby blanket patterns, and other knittables for wee ones.

For teachers in this county, summer is coming close to its end. Next Monday is a day that we begin the 2005-2006 school. Summers now seem to go so quickly. Think we might have a unit for the preschoolers to learn to knit.
