Yesterday, the Knitting Souls Together group met at Ren's house for a holiday gathering. What a gracious hostess Ren is and what a beautifully decorated home!!!! She is definitely the hostess with the mostest!!!!!!
All brought finger foods and a knitting project and gathered cozily in Ren's absolutely wonderful sunporch.
What a view - we all basically decided that we were just going to stay and would be perfectly happy to just stay in this room - of course the wide array of finger foods displayed made it an easy decision.
We played, under Ren's direction, number bingo and ALL ended up winning and picking a gift from the enticing gift basket.
All games and knitting aside, prior to eating, Ruby was presented with a birthday surprise goodie, including a chorus of "Happy Birthday". Ruby's birthday is actually next Thursday, the 18th, and was totally surprised. I won't reveal her age, I'll just tell you, she has definitely aged with total grace and beauty - oops the secret is out - the picture reveals all!!!!!!
AND, speaking of birthdays, I made a PROMISE YESTERDAY that I would not say a thing, however, I DID NOT promise I wouldn't say something on the blog. Sorry, Ren - you are just too nice to let this pass. I would like to wish Ren a very, very Happy Birthday from yesterday!!!! Yes, you read that right. Yesterday was Ren's birthday and we did not know it. Later in the day, I was standing in the kitchen door talking to Ren and her daughter, Lindsey and spotted a slew of birthday cards displayed in the dining room. When I asked Ren if she had just "HAD" a birthday, she shushed me quickly and made me promise not to say anything because it was on that very day. She did not want to take away from Ruby!!!! That's how Ren is - thoughtful of all around her all of the time. I know the others would want to say this also - again - HAPPY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY FROM THE KNITTING SOULS TOGETHER GROUP!!!!!!!!!
Moving right along, we had a very special, renowed visitor - I shouldn't say visitor, as this is his abode. FONZIE!!!! What a delight to meet Fonzie in person after following his antics on Ren's blog. He made sure to make everyone feel welcomed as he checked us out individually. He is definitely a cutie.
It has been a great joy knitting together as we did throughout the summer and fall. Ren and I both hope that everyone joins together at the H.B. Stamps library in January 2009. The new librarian has graciously invited us to knit together on Friday mornings and hopes to see our group grow. Currently, there is a new knitting group at the library on Tuesday evenings. Perhaps those knitters might visit us on a Friday and us visit them as well on a Tuesday evening. The possibilities are endless. All we know is we want to knit, as I'm sure every knitter feels the same and wants the camraderie of other knitters.
By the way - I know I haven't been posting very much on this blog - I will try to do better after the holidays. What I would really like is for some of our knitters that are online at home - YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE - to email me some of your projects that you are working on. It's not just about me!!!!! So, think about it and let me brag on your projects. Have a subject you want to know more about - email me and I'll definitely do my homework and see what I can find out. I'm sure there are others out there that have the same questions. So, let's all try together to keep this going.
THE KNITTING SOULS TOGETHER GROUP WOULD LIKE TO WISH EVERYONE OUT THERE A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS AND BLESSED NEW YEAR. ALSO, KNOW THAT WE MISSED THOSE SPECIAL MEMBERS OF OUR GROUP THAT COULD NOT JOIN US ON THIS DAY - YOU WERE WITH US IN OUR HEARTS. RIGHT NOW, THERE ARE SEVERAL FAMILIES THAT ARE DEALING WITH A CRISIS IN THEIR FAMILY - PLEASE, PLEASE KEEP THEM IN YOUR PRAYERS.
