Determined to get to bed before one this morning, I didn’t start anything after watching “House.” When I saw it was midnight, I moseyed on back to bed, read a few pages and went to sleep. I woke at 6:30, turned on the alarm for tomorrow and went back to sleep until almost eight.
Bill went into Tacoma today to meet up with Jeremy and his four kids. They had lunch at Spud’s – a pizza place where we took Clint on numerous occasions. Then they went to Point Defiance Park. They saw a couple of seals out in the water. The two older boys found the old hiding place that Bill told them about from when he was a boy. By time they got around to Fort Nisqually it was only half an hour until time for it to close. It used to be free but, like everything else, they now charge admission. It would have cost them $20 to get in and it wasn’t worth it without plenty of time to prowl around and see everything at a leisurely pace.
I had a nice quiet day to myself. I sewed the pieces of the two knit theme fabric bowls together. I didn’t feel like messing with the knitting tweet so I guess I’ll save that for a Christmas present. I decided to try a “coffee sleeve” using the fabric that looks like knitting stitches. I encountered a few problems. When sewing the Velcro, it chewed up the thread. When it was done I brought it out into the kitchen and tried it on a medium sized latte cup I had and it wasn’t big enough. That was disappointing. I’ll snag a Styrofoam coffee cup at church tomorrow and see if it fits that. In light of that, I guess I’m not putting it out for sale at Fort Worden.
I started listening to Julie Garwood’s “Murder List” but decided I didn’t want to listen to something where voices were telling a guy to kill people. I downloaded one called “The Year of Fog” - a mesmerizing novel of loss and grief, hope and redemption, and the endurance of love. We’ll see if it measures up to all that. While listening to that I knit on the Upside Downer vest. I finished the bottom, divided for the sleeves and then finished one of the fronts. Now I’m working on the upper part of the back. With that I’m off to find something to watch before I go to bed. Bill is watching more “Taxi” episodes.
If you're in the middle of a trial right now, remember why it's happening - so you will be able to comfort others… so that you can learn to trust God more… and so that you can give thanks. Open your heart so that you can receive the full benefit God intends for you to have from that trial - and be grateful for it.
