I Love Weekends...

I had a pretty busy day yesterday. Wayne and I ran a few errands in the morning. One of those was to join the Y. Wayne's been going to the Y for a while, but I decided it's time for me to join as well. I've been losing weight (yay!) but need to tone up. The Y is offering water fitness classes which I know would help me.

I went to the store to pick up something nice to wear to a party in honor of 3 of Wayne's scuba companions who just passed their divemaster courses. We had a very nice time, viewed some of the photos they've taken on our Florida trip and on past dives to the Caribbean. The photos were fantastic. It made me wish that one day I'd be able to take part in the sport. I don't think so, though. I'll settle for snorkeling for now. If only I were more comfortable in the water...

I'll be working on some crocheting this afternoon. I have a baby blanket to finish. I just finished off a small round ripple which I'll add to the collection for donation to a NICU. I'll also check out Crochetville a little later to see what's up there. I really need to thin out my stash of yarn. It's mostly in the attic where I can't access it and it doesn't do anyone any good there. I wonder if I should yard sale it? The ideal solution would be to quit my job and really crochet 24/7! Ideal for me, but not for the husband, kids and the electric company, telephone company, insurance people...

Fighting the Fight Again

I've been struggling again with depression. I've decided to try talk therapy in addition to medication. My days have been filled with tears and with an overwhelming sadness for many months now. I hope that the new medications and the therapy will make a big change in me. My singular joy in life has been visiting with my grandson. I haven't picked up a crochet hook in ages, with the exception of those chemo caps I promised to my sister in law. I finished them and sent them on their way. I will update this post with photos of the finished caps. Please forgive me for not posting on a regular basis. I do enjoy writing and miss blogging. Please keep me in your prayers, good friends.

Mystery Destination Was...

The Poconos! The surprise was blown (at least to my thinking) when I turned on the GPS to start out our trip. Up pops the address! Of course, it didn't tell DH where we were staying but it did tell him we were headed for East Stroudsburg PA! Dang! He was thinking we were headed for the Jersey shore. Then the GPS took us on a trip! I thought it would put us on the PA turnpike, taking the northeast extension. Wrong! It actually sent us up the NJ side of the Delaware River. So it was an adventure for both of us. We stayed at the Fernwood Hotel and Resort. I'd read excellent reviews and also some very bad reviews on the place. I was hesitant to book it, but it was the most reasonably priced lodging with availability on such short notice. There were restaurants on the grounds and lots to do in the resort and the surrounding area. We arrived at 10:00 pm on Friday to discover that the king accommodations we reserved in the hotel proper were not available, due to service ...
