How awfully rude of me to leave so many hanging out there about the knitting project - and how awful that I haven't updated anyone about my dad's condition.
I humbly apologize and ask for you all to forgive me!
First off! My dad is scheduled to start his 5 treatments of radiation on Wednesday. If you feel led to pray, I appreciate it so much! He's having 2 - 2 1/2 hour treatments for 5 days (Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday of this week; and Monday and Tuesday of next week). On a good note for dad: He was recently diagnosed with the beginning stages of diabetes, so he got determined more than ever to take action. He lost almost 50 pounds, and he started exercising daily. His doctor has reduced his blood pressure meds in half, and is thinking that his meds for the diabetes might be altered too.
Here's a picture of him on Christmas Eve. He was giving my son some of his old hats. The boy has taken up ice fishing again this winter, and his head gets cold. So Grandpa was sorting through all his hats, and offering a few to the boy. See that silly orange hat the boy is wearing? It's his favorite ice fishing hat now! Really! It is! BTW, the boy had just woke up from his 'after dinner' nap, so he does look just a teeny bit groggy. Doesn't dad look great?
Now, for the knitting project! Here it is! It's an afghan! Can you believe it? I finally finished it! I was so bad about finishing this project, but it was a relief to get 'er done!
Here it is: but beware - my feline friend couldn't resist - she sat on it, and she wouldn't get off, so I let her get her pic taken!
She's a nut!
I really need to get better at this blogging thing! I couldn't believe how many people e-mailed me, commented on their own blogs, and let me know LOUDLY that they were upset I wasn't blogging! I'm sorry, I really didn't realize all that many people even read my blog!
And ehart, my dear friend, I owe you a lengthy, wordy, talky, squawky (not sure if that's a word or not) e-mail. I plan on it - this week, I promise!
Here's wishing everyone a Happy New Year! May 2010 bring you peace, comfort and happiness!
Later!!!!

I just want to note that I was NOT one of those people who emailed you complaining about your lack of blog posts.
I was thinking that I would send you an email this week asking about your own health/possible demise.
Good to see you back online again. Nice and snowy here--our teacher from Buff has been wimpy, then she found out what you have up there. LOL
Nice to see you back ;-)
Hugs, GG
LOL! No, ehart, you most certainly didn't complain or ask!
Yeah, tell your friend from Buff that it ain't pretty no more!
Your dad and son both look great and I love the hat idea! The afghan is impressive, too, as is the kitteh. ;) And friend, it's good to see you back. I promise not to threaten you again..unless you deserve it. lol
D-
You most certainly didn't threaten me. I had several who wondered where I'd been, and I felt bad that I left everyone hanging!
Good to see you blogging again too!
