Adding Character


We were at Billy's childhood home this weekend and we got these from the house- I'm exciting because they add some needed character to your boxy square house!

New Blanket (Hexagon or Granny Square)



I haven't decided yet about the pattern, but I have bought the colors for the new blanket- I think it's going to be pretty!

Blue Diagonal Baby Blanket Complete


I am now done with the blue diagonal blue knit baby blanket... I really like it but it is bigger than I thought it would be- I'm not the greatest at gauge; but at least it will grow with the baby and not be outgrown!

New Shoes



Today Tony took Billy and I out on the town to buy new shoes- Which both of us REALLY needed!! We went to Unger's Shoe Store where I got two pair of new shoes that I really like and are quite comfortable, so I will be able to wear them to work! I bought a pair of Unstructured Clark Un.Fasten and a pair of Bella~Vita Penelope Bone Nappa shoes. I have never been to a local shoe store before where they measured your foot, helped you put on the shoes and loosened them for you... It was really nice... They wrapped up my shoes so nicely when I bought them! I felt like they were really some special shoes!!!! Their customer service was awesome and I can see why they have been in business for so long!

New Blanket (Hexagon)


I found this in a really pretty pattern I want to make! I've been trying to find a yarn store--- everyone looks at me like I'm crazy....

Jim's Steak and Spaghetti House




















We went to this restaurant tonight and it was sssssoooo good!!! I had Haddock deep fried with special batter, Billy had 1/2 Ravioli, 1/2 spaghetti, Tony had a steak sandwich, and Andrea had the same as me in sandwich form!
It was fun; the place has been open since 1938 and had several famous people eat there including; Bill Clinton and JFK... We actually sat in the same seat as JFK (Cool!)!
