how about that and other miscellany

Whoopee my blog had 100 hits today and only 5 of them were mine LOL. What a treat...I am so glad Mary put the counter on the blog. Nice to know what is going on out there.
My quilting ripouts were fixed today so I had to put it all away since my son and his wife are coming in tonight from Louisiana and the bedroom had to be cleaned up , the machines taken off the desk and the sewing paraphenalia hidden from view . Now is that a job or isn't it. But when they go over to the Sunshine Coast on Thursday they all come back out for a few days . Then I can start putting those blocks together and I don't think I need to tell you which blocks , do I..
Mistress of the Game which I thought was a Sidney Sheldon book , isn't. Of course it isn't because he passed on to the other world in 2007 I think. It has Tilly Bagshawe's name on the cover too but I can't find out what her contribution to the novel is. Did he write it or did she write it or did she finish the manuscript or did he/ Nothing but questions. So that is the Mystery!! Someone rated it as 6.5 out of 10 and I would agree with that.
The yarn I purchased is not right. It is the same label as the other yarns I bought and was satisfied with but this one is much thicker than my originals the grey and red socks which were just right. So I bought another label, different brand and hopefully it will knit up better. It is so easy to buy the wrong thing and waste your money. Oh well it is good to be rich :>(( NOT!! I do that with fabric all the time. My drawers are full of fabric that is not just quite the right thing. Sad story isn't it?
And with that I say "Have a good evening"

Missed you Sandy but I know how buys you must have been with losing three family members in such a short time. Thank you for taking the time to read my blog and for finding it interesting.
Love

I'm always glad to hear from or of either one of you. You are two of my favorite people! ♥
I admit I haven't been reading any blogs lately, haven't even gone to my own. That's bad isn't it? Well I am feeling better now than last weekend but still not 100%. Think I need to go see the chiropractor, as much as I hate to admit it.
Anyway just wanted to pop in and say hi. So, HI!!
