Happy first day of Hurricane Season! (not) Yes, today is the day. It hardly seems like it’s June already. Just last week it was the first of the year. This year I am a little worried about hurricane season. In the past 2 years we have been here, we have only rented, and had all hand-me-down furniture. Not much to worry about, or stress about it we had to leave. This year we have our home, and some belongings that we actually bought for ourselves. It’s not the stuff I am worried about really, all that can be replaced. It’s that now we are responsible, scary. I hope this season is quiet, but before it even started we already had a tropical storm. Hopefully this part of the year will pass as quickly as the past 6 months.

Well, this weekend is almost over, but it has been good. We spent Saturday shopping for work tools for T. I can probably go without standing around in hardware stores for a while. At least we got to stop at Joann’s and Michael’s while we were in Melbourne. I wanted to exchange the Patons SWS I bought last week since I got totally different dye lots. I don’t know what I was thinking but I tried to exchange them at Joann’s before I realized that I didn’t buy them there. So we went to Michaels and I decided to get different color this time.Today we decided to grab breakfast after church and headed over to Cracker Barrel (miss it mom?) where we waited forever. At least I had the new Monkey sock to work on. Breakfast was good, but they took a really long time to bring the food and when mine was ready they figured out that the server ordered the wrong thing for T. So the manager came by to tell us that T’s order would be up as soon as they could, and they there would be no charge for the meals. Wow, usually they only would comp his meal. That made our day! So now it’s back home to relax a little and get ready for work again tomorrow.

Hooray for finishing the never ending socks! They really turned out nice, and I know it's got to feel good to finally be free of that yarn!
Try not to stress over hurricane season. It doesn't do you any good. It'll either happen, or it won't, ya know? Just make sure you're prepared if you do need to leave, and take pictures of everything that you might have to replace for the insurance company.
I like that color of SWS a lot. Maybe even better than the first one you chose. Good move on the exchange.
And funny-- we ate dinner at Cracker Barrel. And we had super-great service, and it wasn't crowded at all. It's J's favorite place in the world to eat.
Yeah, for finishing the socks. Believe me I know how it feels to work on a never ending project:). They are very nice. I look forward to seeing how the patrons sws knit up.
