I am most pleased to report that we had a very uneventful weekend. There was knitting and television, good eating and a wee bit of hiking. Allow me to elaborate.
Knitting: I finished Dale’s Fionn sweater. It needs a gooooood blocking but then there will be a photo shoot. Assuming Dale is pretty again by then.
Television: We watched Into the Wild and, while I thought it was a tad lengthy, I did enjoy it. I also watched a lot of women’s basketball, Pride and Prejudice, and the latest episode of John Adams. You must realize that it was this fair amount of time with the television that led to the finishing of the sweater.
Good Eating: We had our friends Don and Lois over for dinner Saturday evening. I timed the serving of dinner with Earth Hour and we ate by candlelight. The pasta was delicious, the atmosphere was ideal and the company entertaining.’
Hiking: Sunday was somewhat mild and we took a walk over at the site of our upcoming Civil War living history event. I spied some snow drops and scared away some wood ducks. It was a pleasant way to spend a bit of time on a Sunday afternoon.
In between all of this there was snuggling on the couch and a lot of laughing. It was the perfect weekend and just what we needed to recharge our batteries and heal ourselves.
Carol Said,
Nothing like a restorative weekend! You two certainly deserve one after THAT one
I just saw Into the Wild too, what a story, no? I love those TV/knitting weekends.
Lucia Said,
Sounds like a great weekend. Ours was similar.
margene Said,
It sounds like you had a heavenly weekend. Look at the snowdrops! I never did see any this year. Can’t wait to see the sweater.
Judy Said,
Sounds like Dale is recovering. I am so happy to hear it.
He’d look great in his Fionn, (or his uniform) with his “battle scars”.
I’ve been waiting to see Into the Wild.
Norma Said,
Terrific! I love that you served dinner by candlelight during Earth Hour. I wish I had been so savvy — somehow I missed that event.
Beth Said,
What a great weekend!
Congratulations on finishing Dale’s sweater! I watched more TV than usual this weekend, too, and was able to accomplish a lot of knitting. I watched Citizen Kane, On The Waterfront, and the first half of Sense and Sensibility. They were all very good.
Robin in VA Said,
Ahhhh, so glad your weekend was quiet & restful! Love the snowdrops!

Nice and relaxing (and no emergency room visit), just how a weekend should be.
Cynthia Said,
Now THAT is a good weekend! Great actually. Can’t wait to see the sweater; it should be gorgeous.

Good to hear there was no bloodshed this weekend. Hope Dale is healing quickly!

You all needed exactly that kind of weekend. Ours was very quiet too. Just the way I like it.

Whew. Sounds just about right…
claudia Said,
I see no flowers around here yet, although I’m heartened that flowers sightings are nearby.
Laura Said,
Good knitting, good friends, good food, time with your husband – all sounds like a weekend of comfort. Like a deep sigh of contentment. Quite a contrast to the jolt of Last Week. heh
Kim Said,
What a nice weekend! It sounds like the weekend karma was good for a lot of blog friends
Cheryl S. Said,
Good for you for having a nice, restful, healing weekend.
Beth S. Said,
Poor Dale… his shiner must be absolutely amazing by this point! They always seem to get worse before they get better. Anyway, we’re all cheering for his recovery (and eventual return to the catwalk, so we can see Fionn.
Teyani Said,
So glad to hear that you had a sweet weekend, and that Dale is healing well.
Can’t wait to see his sweater.

Congrats on finishing the sweater. I really love those snow drops. So pretty!
