More from the loom

 I'm still having fun with the knitting looms. Amanda picked out some scrubby yarn so I've been making more of those.

No two look the same with this yarns. I did one using the scrubby yarn along with a crochet cotton and then I decided to try them with just the scrubby yarn alone. They came out just fine so that's how I'll do all future ones.

The one on the right has the crochet cotton with it and the two on the left are the scrubby yarn alone. 

I also did another headband. This was using a white and an aqua worsted weight yarn. I like to use a double strand because they are much thicker. 

I tried another one with a single strand of yarn and  I didn't like it nearly as much.

A day out with my daughter

Today I talk about the rest of the day after the cemetery. I took very few pictures. I keep forgetting and if Amanda doesn't remind me I probably wouldn't get any.

First we went to a craft show at a school. There were lots of good things there but I didn't get any pictures at all. 

Next we went to a place I saw posted on Facebook. It was called Countryside Farm Market. It's another of those Amish stores. It was rather small but they had a lot of yummy stuff there.

I bought a couple of these orange cookies on someone else's recommendation and they were totally delicious.

Next was Perkins for lunch. We chose Perkins more out of my need for a restroom than anything else.

They had a lunch duo where you could pick from 3 different sandwiches and either a cup of soup, a salad or one other category that I can't remember. I got a chicken tender sandwich with loaded baked potato soup. It was so good and I left totally stuffed. 

The last stop we made was Walmart since it was on the way and I needed to pick up a prescription and a few groceries. By the time I got home it was laundry and very little else. I spent the remainder of the day napping and watching tv.

St. James cemetery

 Saturday October 18th, Amanda and I had another fun day. I'll get to that tomorrow but today I'm going to talk about the cemetery.  We were approaching it and Amanda was talking about her friends dad who was buried there and that she thought they had finally gotten the head stone in. I asked if she wanted to stop so we did.

As we went up the hill I saw some other visitors.

   

As long as we were right there we also visited my dads grave as well as a few of my other relatives. First my dad
