Hello and welcome to another edition of T stands for Tuesday. Last week I had mentioned a mini-vacation was on the schedule. We left Thursday morning and were about 20 mins from our finally destination when it started raining…pouring really.
It was cold and rainy pretty much the whole time we were there which was a really big bummer. Mini-me and I passed the time by doing a puzzle and playing pictionary. Neither one of us slept very well that night so we got up before 5am…
I made some coffee and picked up my knitting. Evidently I was tense or just out of practice because it was so dang tight I couldn’t continue. I pulled it all out and grabbed a crochet needle…
I made three dishcloths in short order to leave at the cabin.
Just as the weather was starting to clear, we headed out for a college visit that was almost an hour away.
Mini-me had missed the tour I took J on a couple years ago. I knew right away that she’d love this college. After hearing about it she wanted to visit on her own. I think its at the top of her list of schools.
After our visit at Morris we headed back to the cabin. That evening we got to enjoy time with family and PUPPIES!
I only have this one picture of the smallest of the dogs…all huskies. At one point I had two puppies on my lap and one of the big huskies trying to climb up too. Just call me the husky whisper I guess. It certainly was entertaining with 4 dogs running around.
We headed home on Saturday morning since had other things going for Sunday and Monday…more on that next T stands for Tuesday. As well as a garden update. It was off to a slow start but has really come a long way in the past week or so. Hopefully I’ll have some photos next week. Raining like crazy…again…as I write this.
This week has appointments for me and a Costco trip with the neighbor. I gave up our membership to Costco when I started working since going on the weekends is less fun than poking your eyes out with a rusty fork. Lucky for me, I have a sweet neighbor who is willing to take me along or pick up a few items as needed. I honestly haven’t missed Costco as much as I thought I would and likely don’t spend as much when you figure waste and impulse items.
I’m still working on reorganizing my craft area and supplies. Purging some stuff I’ll never, ever use. I’m sure over time there will be a thing or two I will have wished I saved…always happens. I just feel like we have too much stuff in general. I’m attempting to get rid of the extra; the clutter, the un-needed, un-wanted and un-loved. Not Marie Kondo style…that’s a little intense for me. But at my own pace with the end goal in mind…less stuff.
Sorry your mini vaca ended up with allot of rain-but still sounds like nice time with your daughter.
today I stayed home and packed allot of things to take with-the lake house is smaller than what we have now so it has been difficult for me to purge but I am getting better at it lol Happy T hugs Kathy
That is a bummer to have a vaycay with so much rain, but you did make the best of it-and it was time away after all. I like your little dish cloths.
I would have been in doggie heaven with the four huskies at me:):) I miss having a dog so much. I’m slowly purging thru all of my art supplies too- esp. jewelry making things I don’t intend to go back to. It’s just not easy to know what to do with it sometimes. Wishing you happy T day!
Rain can be disappointing while your are on vacation but at least you had a great time with your daughter and your college visit was successful.
I love to purge and I don’t do it nearly enough. Enjoy the process and the results.
Happy Tea Day,
Kate
I’m sorry the weather for your mini-vacation was disappointing. That’s happened to us before but never this time of year when you should rightfully expect fine weather. Sounds like heaven for huskie lovers :)
It’s hard to clear out. It sounds like you’re finding a good middle path with it. Happy T Day
Too bad it rained but it still sounds like a nice trip. Anything with puppies makes even a rainy day a good day. And sounds like the summer is going well, which is good. The season is way too short not to have a good time. Hope it’s a great T day. Hugs-Erika
Sorry to heat about the rain but it seems you made the best of it.Enjoy the season!Happy T-Day!
Sorry you had bad weather, but things like that do happen! Happy T Day, Valerie
though rain does not sound good, i wish we had some – extraordinary heat wave here this week. good you made the best out of it. that husky is a beauty! have a great week!
Sorry it rained during your vacation. The area looked beautiful to visit. Your crochet work looks nice. College visits are an exciting time. The dog is beautiful. Happy T-Day!
So nice to get away for a few days and just spending time with those husky puppies would be the highlight of the vacation for me, they are super cute …lol ?. You must be a dog whisperer although it’s a good job you didn’t take Marvin with you, I don’t think he would be impressed ?. Enjoy and wishing you a very happy T Day! Jo x
Sorry you had rain on your holiday but it’s still good to get away.
what a gorgeous puppy, so cute
Happy T Day

Too bad the weather was lousy, but it sounds like the rest of the trip was special: the college and family visits and puppies. Puppies will cheer one up any time. ?
Happy T-day! Eileen xx
Out of frustration, I am at my neighbor’s house across the street using her computer. I told her I would be brief and leave this quick message. I have been without electricity AGAIN, this time for over 18 hours. I can’t ask my foodie friend Sally, because she lives on the same side of my street and her electricity is out, too. I will be by to visit once my electricity has returned, but for now, please be assured, I would be sharing a drink with you right now, if I could. Thanks for understanding.
That husky was so cute. 4 of them? Lucky for you that you are the Husky Whisperer. Sorry about your rainy vacation. But I guess nice that you could make some dish cloths to leave there. Happy T Day!
It is a shame the weather wasn’t good for your trip away. I think spending time with those wonderful \huskies wwwwould have been a plus for me they look so gentle but must be so strong.
Happy T DAY WISHES.

Too bad about the weather, but it sounds like you made the best of things. I love the color of the yarn and the little dishcloths you made. College applications. A scary and exciting time. Cute puppy. Looks like s/he knows it, too. Happy T Day
