Today was a messy day. We had tree limbs down from the strom we got hit with early Thrusday morning and didn't have power for awhile. (I hear its suppose to hit again Friday afternoon.) So we gathered all the limbs up and put them in a pile, for the trailer park to pick up when they get around to it???? That could takes week, they are very slow here. "We" really means my son Bryan. I've been trying to make a "real" ripple afghan and not that mess that is shown it one of my posts. I've ripped it out three times. Each time I count my chains. I have 31 like the pattern says, but yet I end up short 2 chains. The 4th time I marked every 10 stitches (3 markers + 1 extra ==31 right??) by my calculations too. Did the first row and guess what I'm still short two chains. Btw the pattern is from blog attic24 easy ripple pattern. Another blogger suggested it on her site for beginners. So, I guess tomorrow when I'm bright eyed and bushy tailed i'm gonna work on the 1st row and see if thats where i'm loosing my two stitches. She makes it plain and simple. Maybe I just can follow plain and simple. lol.
Anyway: What did I eat today. Breakfast was corn flakes w/splenda and a glass of milk. I wanted toast, but no electric. Lunch--A tuna fish sandwhich w/lettuce, pickles, onion, black olive and chopped green peppers and olive oil mayo. Dinner was just a cheese burger on 1/2 a bun w/pickle, onion, ketchup and mustard. And a small dinner salad & v/o dressing. I had a 1/4c of pickles for a snack. of course my hot tea, ice tea and water through out the day and 16oz bottle of diet pepsi 0.
Lord bless everyone, near and dear to me. Thank you for keeping us all safe through the strom. Watch over my sissy and her husband as she continues to travel & vacation. Thank you for giving hubby his perm position hire at his job today. In this day and age thats alot. Thank you for all your blessings each & every day. Amen.
Since I missed scripture here it is this evening. I feel very blessed so its very appropriate.
Numbers 6:24-26"The LORD bless you and keep you; the LORD make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you; the LORD turn his face toward you and give you peace."

Thank the precious Lord for His safe keeping! We had that kind of storm just recently, and it was a bit hairy and scary for awhile. One pickup even had a limb fall on it while the driver was driving down the street/road??? Now, that would get a person's attention real quick!!
Being someone who doesn't crochet, but only an admirer, you now have me wondering what was wrong with your Ripple. I thought it was neat. Are you saying, I need new glasses? :-)
Have a wonderful weekend!
Hugs, Mary K.
Ty, My ripple actually looks more like waves. But thank you, thats means I frogged it well. I don't think you need new glasses. We had another storm Friday night. Blew over my wishing well, and swing. As if the fridge breaking down wasn't enough, the air-conditoner in the bedroom broke. So we've been running around looking for a replacement for it. Then Bryans DVD player quit. LOL. It is suppose to come in three's, so I hope that our three.
