The Best Night of The Week

By -

It's Friday evening, the best part of the week. Our workweek is behind us, and the whole weekend is ahead! I'm going to pull out the Sweetheart Ripple afghan tonight and pick up where I left off. I dropped off the baby's hat I made, along with his pants and the bib. I hope that Nicole and Dan like them.

I made a dishcloth at work today. I added one more side than called for in the pattern (5 sides instead of 4). I like the way it looks - kind of reminds me of a sand dollar! I got another idea for a similar item while I was working on this and will give it a try sometime this week.

I also bought myself some new crochet hooks this week. They are the Clover bamboo hooks and they come in a cute little case. I can't wait to try them out.

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 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 ...
