Wow, it’s been awhile since posting last.  Sorry about that to any readers who have happened by.  The Kid started high school and seems like I’ve had more homework than anyone else around here.  Extracurricular activities have kept us all busy around here, too.  A little knitting has been squeezed in but not much to speak of.  Am working on a sock pattern with a  Christmas theme, hopefully it will be finished soon.  The dust is settling some and hopefully the needles will be clicking wildly again.

We live near the Gulf Coast and have been watching hurricane Gustav very closely.  Very concerned for those in its path but thankfully it won’t be coming our way.    Ready for nasty weather but not near like what the Louisiana coast area is preparing for.  We’ve seen literally hundreds of empty coach busses pass through in that direction as well as ambulances and military vehicles.  Surreal to witness but at the same time comforting to see help on its way.  Praying that it will somehow lose steam before landfall…
