Noah, Giraffes, and Family Visits

Sunday mornings here always start with a cooked breakfast, which is Robin’s task.  This morning he cooked up some bacon and eggs.  Always a good start to a lazy Sunday morning when things aren't too rushed.

My stitchery block of Noah and his giraffes needed finishing, so I sat and stitched for a wee while today.  There, that’s one more block from my Noah’s Ark stitchery completed.  I had a count up and there are only two more blocks left to do.

Hello Noah

I’ve also been plodding away on my navy cardigan, I’m not a fast knitter at all, but I’m OK with that.  The button bands on the fronts have now been finished, and I’m almost up to the underarm shaping on the sleeves.  So it’s moving along slowly.

My son Michael flew up from Christchurch to photograph a dance competition in Wellington over the weekend.  WE last met up earlier in the year when we were traveling the South Island on our caravan trip.  He borrowed his Dad’s car and drove up to see us on Friday.  Michael was lamenting the fact that next year he is having a BIG birthday, where have all the years gone?

I didn't realise that my daughter Nicky had also traveled to Wellington for the weekend.  She had come down to take part in an advanced sewing class and called in to see us on her way home today, Sunday.

So how about that – a visit from each of my children.  Adult children do lead busy lives, it was so nice to see them both.  It doesn't take too much to make a Mum happy, does it.
