caver1 Happy Birthday (a bit late). I tried to respond earlier today, but MyLot didn't let me. I think you are very kindhearted to see to the needs of your friend before going out with your family for your birthday. I hope the swelling in his ankle...

Well, the TV has died. I think I can live without it, except that my kids and the kids I babysit like to watch a movie sometimes and play on the GameCube. What would you do without a TV?

caver1 I have never made dishcloths, but would like to. I do not have a pattern, but image I could just make one up. It's just a square, right? Is there a special yarn I should use? Would a natural fiber like cotton be better than the acrylic?

caver1 Thanks for the encouragement. I expect that both kids will continue to be here in the summer, unless they decide for summer school sometime. Once they graduate from college I hope they find jobs and are able to support themselves. Then they can just visit me...

caver1 Well I need to get back in the habit of walking. I was walking 3 - 4 times a week last summer, but during the winter I get lazy. It is very hard to get back in the habit. I did get out and walk on Monday this week. It probably would help to have a walking...

caver1 I am looking forward to more time with my hubby also. There have been a few times these last few months that we look at each other and my hubby asks, "So when is she leaving?" But then I wonder when the time comes if I may be sad.

caver1 Yes, I do think it will be peaceful. My mornings will be less hectic and I won't always be working around the kids schedule. I feel a little guilty for thinking I'll enjoy my empty nest.

caver1 I must say that I'm not very tech-savvy. My hubby takes care of all things computer related. I have a cell phone, but not a smart phone. I would rather curl up with a good book than with a nook or kindle. Old-fashioned? Yep.
