Life's a Stitch

And more recently life’s a creative adventure with some travel thrown in.

Being Ms. Practicality in most parts of my life, my daughters can’t understand when I don’t get excited about their dating anniversaries. "We’re going out, it’s our two month anniversary," they might say. I suppose in this age of brief marriages you’d better celebrate anniversaries while you can.

Chuck and I hardly celebrate our wedding anniversary. Once his sister called from Minnesota, and after 45 minutes on the phone, she wished us Happy Anniversary. It came as a shock to both of us, neither of us had remembered. We didn’t forget after that, but we still don’t do much as it’s so close to Christmas. We did it big twice, buying a stereo for our 10th and taking the family to Mexico for our 20th. Maybe there’s a relationship between big fancy weddings and feeling compelled to celebrate in a large way. We ran off on a Monday afternoon to get married.

Today I thought I’d check out when my first blogging anniversary will be and to my surprise it already was! It was September 3rd last year that I started this habit. Might have to increase my stash in celebration 🙂  Back then I thought, "How will I ever come up with enough stuff to regularly blog?" My family assures me I’m never at a loss for words.

Sunset_sept Instead of a knitting picture I’m posting my latest sunset photo taken from our deck. My dream is to win the lottery so I can have a water view someday, but you can’t beat these sunsets for now. Have a good weekend.

    A belated Happy blogiversary to you! By the way, I’m sure if inanimate objects could talk, Marina would be telling you how thrilled she is that you’re back and working on her. ‘She’ looks beautiful.

    And a happy blogiversary to you! Is that word in Websters yet? Love the picture. I, too, covet a water view. We don’t have one from our house, but if you go to the far corner of our property, lean and look around trees, you can see a little glimmer. But one night I looked out the front window and saw the most beautiful harvest moon. Who says we don’t have a view?

    Happy Blogiversary to You! And many more…
    A secret elopement! Ooo… That’s going to be me. People are just going to get a postcard from Mexico from us.
    Yeah, phrases like “two month anniversary” also strike me as odd since the first morpheme “an-” means year. I know that words often loose original meaning, but it still amuses me.

    Hi Li, Happy Anniversary to you and Chuck. I think you are about 22 years if I am correct. I am 22 years on January 14th. Your blog is great and I enjoy reading it and catching up with you even though I am not a knitter. The Darien House sale continues. The price is being negotiated. I hope it will close. I subbed in New Canaan today and really enjoyed my first grade class. I’ve decided to sub a couple of days a week and do real estate the rest of the time.
    The Royal Bank of Scotland is builing its world headquaters in Stamford Connecticut and it will bring 2000 jobs here. It will also provide 7000 service jobs. They are building even a bigger trading floor than United Bank of Switzerland which will be it’s next door neighbor. Of course, they will need houses, condos and apartments. I think I chatted with a friend of yours at your 50th birthday party that works for them.
    The sunset photo is gorgeous. Wow!!
