Catching up.

It’s time to catch up.  The 7 days “on” is a week that I work, sleep and eat sandwiches.  NO cooking to speak of.  Of course, my future daughter-in-law’s birthday fell on my work week.  So with no more than a quick phone call and facebook post, the day sailed by.  So yesterday was a catch-up birthday celebration.

I worked a split shift Monday and her only day off was Monday, so bits of the supper are homemade and some is a downright storebought cheat.  On my week off I like to have a family supper.   The kids come by, I get to lay eyes on them and do the mom check.  We  chat and catch up on the past 2 weeks. Of course, they bring Bella’s brother from another mother, Mr. Bailey.

They do not always sit so nice.  I assure you it took snacks to get this well-behaved pose.

Downton Abbey is finished.  Disappointment does not begin to express my loss.  All I can hope for is perhaps a yearly special.  It seems the creator, Julian Fellows has moved onto other projects and the Crawley family will move into the 30’s without our prying eyes.  I would like to see a new series based on Lady Edith’s life.  I think she would have the most interesting and influential  story line if a new series were to be launched.  JMHO.

And to update my knitting I am working along on the same old pair of socks.  I expect that by tomorrow I will be moving onto the heel flap.  Tomorrow  I will do the AM ritual of coffee and knitting. Get a good start on the heel flap. Then continue with the  dull and mundane task of housework.  Yeah, It’s time to catch-up!
