yarn, beautiful yarn

I've been in a bit of a yucky mood lately, and there's only been a couple of things to make it bright. One of course is God, I've been reading out of my Daily Bible again, and that always makes things better. I got to see this eagle outside my window earlier this week, eagles always remind me of God.
Two is the worship today at church. It was really good.. the songs were just what I needed.

And three? YARN. How can something so simple be so great? I love to look at it, touch it, and knit with it. It just makes me happy to see all the wonderful skeins of yarn I have. I got it all out last weekend, took pictures of most of it, and sorted it into bins and totes, and then stuffed the rest onto some shelving. I really have an enormous amount of yarn. it makes me do the happy dance. :-))) Now I'm making a list of all the projects I want to knit, and putting the picture of the yarn with the pattern. So much fun. Here's a picture of some of it, it's my lorna's laces.

We are in the process of refinancing our house since the interest rates have dropped so low...we have lots of cleaning and fixing to do before the appraiser comes next week. I hope we get it all done. Steve said once the refinancing is all done he will buy me another Ipod. :-)

There's not much new with the boys.. David has turned in some applications, but hasn't heard back yet. Hopefully he will have a job soon. Erik is getting ready to go to the academy in Anchorage, and I didn't talk to Tim this week so no news there. David just came up to my room, and looked so cute I had to take his picture. I love him with longer hair. :-)

My health is mostly the same. I've quit my thyroid medicine for awhile since it doesn't seem to be working, my back is in bad shape, and my tiredness is still there. Someday it will all be better.
That's enough for now.

Such a nice bit of encouragement for me to hear that worship on Sunday was just what you needed! And I agree, yarn is fantastic. Just walking into Skeins gives me a little thrill, even if I'm not going to buy anything. I love all the colors and textures. What a great remedy for a crummy day.

Janet, you are so right - one day it will all be better. I told Ben that when we get to heaven, Jesus will wipe all of our tears away. Ever since, he has hated his wet tears and always insists that they be wiped away quickly. One day...maybe VERY soon. :)
