I was going back through posts and realized that I totally forgot to post about Laine Magazine 21.

I was in the store at 8am because Bell was coming to fix the phone. They arrived at 10. I love the 8am-noon time slot so you have to sit around waiting but at least he came and the phone works again. While I was there I worked on my fall Rowan order. I believe that we will see the books and yarn at the beginning of September. I can’t share yet but as soon as I can I will. This afternoon I was on dad duty. I took him to the General for his speech therapy. While he was there I took 10 boxes to Good Shepherd. They were grateful for more clothes and three boxes of yarn. After his therapy we visited one of their job sites and then I took him for ice cream because he did good in therapy.
Last week I mentioned that we put an offer on a house that was accepted. There were some conditions and the home owners received another offer with no conditions a few days later. We couldn’t take our conditions off so we lost out on the house. This all happened at 9pm on Friday evening. I was upset/mad/frustrated but I’m over it now. It wasn’t meant to be so now we are looking again.
We are going to see more yarn from Spincycle next week - Levitate Dream State. I can’t wait!!! This makes me smile.
Fred wants/needs Boscoe to play with him.
