    Hi Jeannie!!! Love that smile in the first photo!!.. and he sounds so CUTE too! We saw some fireworks ourselves on Friday, but the show definitely seemed shorter this year, compared to others, so it was a little disappointing. We are thinking MAYBE we'll go to another showing, elsewhere, tonight, depending how everybody's schedules agree or not. I'm crossing my fingers we can!.. Hoping you're enjoying your holiday weekend! Happy 4th to you and yours!! ((hugs)) ~tina

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.

I'm concerned about how he's going to be getting back and forth to the train station for school, as I'm still not driving. Brandi's afghan is finished. It turned out nicely, I think. I tried an idea for a different border on it, and I really like the way it looks. I hope she likes it. Now I have time to start a new project. Not sure what I'll make yet - lots of possibilities. Below are the directions for making the basic hexagon afghan. If you have any questions, please leave a comment. Hexagon Afghan I used a J hook and worsted weight yarn. Chain 6, join with slip stitch to make a circle Round 1 – chain 5 (this will be first dc and chain 2 space), dc in ring, dc again i...
