Turkey Time

Thanksgiving quickly approaches here.  The leaves are turning beautiful colours and I can't wait to visit with family over the long weekend!

Baby Frustrations

I must say that the baby thing is just starting to get old for me.  My husband and I have resigned ourselves to the fact that we will not be able to conceive a child of our own.  We have seen fertility specialists, have gone through the whole IVF thing without success.  We are more than happy to adopt a child and know we can love that child no matter what.

What I am tired of is how rude people can be.  I am sick of people telling me all the things I should do to get pregnant  because that is what they did (even though it may come from a place of kindness).  I am tired of people telling me how lucky they feel that they could get pregnant so easily and do not have to go through what I must be going through.  I am tired of people telling me I am too old to even think of conceiving (gosh I am 40 now don't ya know).

But I think the kicker was a conversation I had today and was given the following sage advice:  "Well you may want to adopt but you better understand that at your age they will never give you a baby and maybe not even a child at all."  Wow that sure was nice to hear wasn't it!  The best part is the conversation came up because this person began with why haven't you and your husband started the adoption process yet.

Enough ranting - sometimes I just feel better when I throw it out there and then can see how ridiculous the whole thing is.

Thanks for listening!

Good Night Camping :(

Sorry I have been away for so long!  August found me camping nearly every weekend!  This spring my hubby and I purchased and 1982 (yes that is correct 1982) bonair tent trailer from my cousins.  It may be old but is sure has given us tons of pleasure this Summer.

So I am sad today as my husband parked the trailer in the garage.  I guess this means our camping season is truly done.

 So I guess I need to go back to dish cloth knitting to fill my time up.

Knitting

August 4 2011

So I have become dishcloth crazy!  I can't seem to get enough of knitting the little buggers.  I seem to have moved on from the simple ones.  Now I am into turning knitted lace into dishcloths!
