inching my way along

Wow is there really only 2 more days until Christmas? My life has been a whirl wind for the last week or so.. This is my first day that I've had to rest since before my trip to Iowa. It's amazing that the tree is decorated and the sweaters and gifts were mailed out. Not as many as I had originally planned to knit. The monkey socks are getting a little bigger and I'm inching my way to the heals. Today I plan to make a couple of scarves on the knitting machine and some arm warmers if I can fit them in. As far as my brothers condition.. they are just keeping him comfortable now. I heard he had a wonderful caring nurse .. that is comforting to know. I noticed that the hospital care there was really great and they truly care for the patients and family. I'm grateful for that. I'm really grateful for my kids who have all helped and supported me tremendously and for my grandson Jayden that gives me joy everyday and cheers me up. I don't know how I would survive with out them.. (^_^)
