I've been very busy, first off I spent a week in Alabama, during some of the hottest weather in their history. 102 with a heat index that made it feel like 112!
My employers sent me to do some ECO rework that needed to be done, it was cheaper to send people down there than send all the boards back to us. The people I meet were just the nicest and most polite to work with.
Here's three of them Deborah, Trever, and Phyllis.
Deborah, Trever, and Phyllis. Diane picked me up at the hotel every morning took me to work, made sure I got lunch and dinner on the way back to the hotel, my stay there would not have been as enjoyable had she not been there to take care of me. Unfortunately I didn't get a picture of her.Then once I got home I came down with a head cold, talk about putting a damper on my energy. I'm almost over it, but you know how a summer cold can drag on and on and on!
But I did not let that yucky old cold get in the way of me going to see Cat Bordhi. I saw these.
This one is my favorite one
And just look at all those so cute little socks
And took these home with me! Let me tell you, it is not a very bright idea to
start reading one of Cat's books in bed, You could be up very very late with ideas running, 100 or so miles per hour or so, through your brain. I found this out the hard way. I think I must knit a moebius now, in fact I've already ordered the circular needles I need.On Tuesday , Wednesday and today I helped my Mother with this! Yummy Yummy!
The husking is not to awfully bad, as long as I don't see any ear wigs! Those little , some of them are not really that little, bugs really make my skin crawl !!!!! Then cook up the ears of corn and give them two ice water baths so that they are cool enough to hold on to while we cut the corn off the cobs.
Is this a stack of corny goodness or What?
Corn all ready to go into freezer bags! It is so nice in the dead of winter to pull a bag of this from the freezer. It reminds us of summer.

Oh lordy, a summer cold is just the worst. Hope you get rid of it soon! Love everyone hamming it up for the pic. ;) The corn does look beautiful, now you've got me wanting some!
And the sock pix...oooh, thanks so much for closeups so we could study them! They all look fantastic. I can hardly wait for my book to get here. But definitely, you've gotta watch that reading in bed! Although you never know what brilliant ideas will strike... Weekends. Try to stick to that on weekends. [g]
Feel better soon! Summer colds SUCK!
