Mandy Pies Sweater and the Socks

awe its a good feeling to finally get past the brick wall and head to the top just about there. a few inches more and i can bind it off and head for the sleeves
and the socks just keep going.
my brother in law showed up yesterday too and installed my old hard drive to the pc as a slave drive which is now 120 gigs strong . oh goodie more room for allot of pictures :)
and then nothing went right. must be cabin fever. took hubby out to dinner . got frozen veggies and half cooked meat. plus when we sat down. there were no kids anywhere in site. by the time we got started i swear every parent with kids under two showed up and all the kids decided to cry and carry on at the same time. hummmmmmm thought i had just left my great grandson kai man at home doing the same thing. for some reason my broken brain thought going out for dinner would get me a break from it all. scratch that bubble . its just a different location and more kids . sighhhhhhhhhhh.
hubby was not a happy camper he was a grump. so i said ok lets leave. take doggie bags. go walk the mall. he looked at me with one of those oh my god she is going to ask for the moon. we went looking for buttons at Joann's found these beautiful blue heart buttons for the sweater. oh yea and another crying child . turned out to be my great niece with her grandma looking for patterns. LOL by now i am thinking the wee people are protesting the tons of snow and no trips to the parks . ok ok i understand now being cooped up with a bunch of nutty grown ups has its draw backs.
Snow has major draw backs if what i am hearing in the grape vine is true.
seems last week when we were being told snow removal money was gone spent done with and snow removal was going to be scarce. our local fire department responding to an accident along with an ambulance. ran into something like 6 or 7 parked cars and caused quite the accident on its own. as a result all our roads here streets you name it are all bare of snow now . not one ounce is to be had. but the sides of the streets and roads look like something out of the exodus. as if moses himself came here and parted the snow for all to drive through. yea forget the pedestrian. they don't need anywhere to walk at all. LOL so in allot of places the pedestrian is walking down the middle of the road.
only in Alaska huh?
meanwhile i continue to knit .
