A busy day

Well, I was going to go to bed but decided to blog a tiny bit. Michelle and family are here and the children are enjoying playing with each other. They played outside and inside. It seems that Devin, Desirae, and Deanna are getting colds. I just hope they are not bad. Some of Michelle's kids have colds too.

I have been working on Devin's little knit turtle and with a little help from little fingers had to start over once. My fault for leaving it on the coffee table. But I am now done knitting the shell and tomorrow will sew it up and stuff it. Then it is on to the head and four little feet. I think he will be very cute.

Cali is finally getting used to the company. She hides when she wants to be left alone. Although her habit of starring in peoples faces is a little disconcerting to the kids and makes Michelle wonder.

The spaghetti was a hit and I still have leftovers, which will make good lunches for me and Deanna next week. I am having trouble judging how much food to make as I am not used to cooking for 13 people of all ages.

Oh, yes. I got my brakes fixed today. They had to replace the pads on the front brakes and the shoes on the back brakes. Dino said the back ones were almost down to the metal. It was a little more expensive than we were hoping, but if you are going to drive it is always good to be able to stop. Before my brother-in-law left me after dropping me at the shop he followed me to the street to make sure they worked. I will not miss the squeaking.

Duane is enjoying his weekend away spending time with his friend and doing photography stuff. He needed to get away. Unfortunately he seems to have hurt his back a couple of days ago which is kind of putting a damper in his fun. But he seems to be determined to enjoy himself anyway. That's the spirit. I am going to bed now. It has been a long day.
