My husband had been sick with pnemonia the past two weeks and yesterday was the first day he felt really good! We all were able to get out of the house and go to the Greenridge Steam and Gas Engine Show. Saw some friendly familiar faces at the vendor show, heard great music and the boys did a lot of firsts!
Our boys got to ride on horses see some handcarvings done with wood, broom making and lots of other old time hard work!
I had a few moments where I felt horrible because we have lived here for a little over a year and really don't know people well. When i meet someone I usually only see their chin and mouth area, because I read lips. So its hard for me to remember people by faces anymore. I'm getting better at remembering names though! Well, there were several people who came up to me or my husband to chat and I have to ask "who are you?" is there even a nice way to say that?! If there is please let me know!!!
At the Show they had a lot of their activites inside of barns. We would walk up to the doorway and i feel like I'm going to step into a black abyss of nothing. When I'm outside in the bright light everything indoors is completely dark. After going in i would usually have to take 10-15 min for my eyes to get used to it, but, my boys wanted to go-go-go! I was lucky yesterday I dd not knock any displays off! Lol! Now leaving a building to go out is a little different, standing in a doorway looking out is soooo bright!!!! Would almost feel like stepping into peace, but its not, its actually kind of painful in a way. I'm not sure if I can explain this right but I will try. When I was younger outdoor light did not bother me. I would assume its because the light was able to travel through a larger field of my vision (in a sense, stretched out light) but now, take the toilet paper tube and put at your eyes and on the brightest of days go in the sunniest part of your yard and open your eyes. Its almost like the light bounces around in your eyes!!!
A little different issue i had this weekend involves my 4 yr old. He is a jokester and was pretty onery this week! I was making sandwiches and usually i will have their plates in the middle, butter knife above, peanut butter and jelly above the knife. I take the bread bag and take the twist tie off and put it left to the plate. Take out the bread and put it on the plates and putthe tie back on. Wait a second, did I drop it? Did I accidentally sweep it with my hand and it went flying? Through out this whole frustration my 4 yr old was using his hands to pretend it was a car on the counters. Walking back and forth and making car noises. I'm looking everywhere for this stupid piece of medal, getting frustrated with the noise, I tell Austin to go sit if he wants to eat. He comes back with the twist tie in his hand. Grrrrrrrr!!!! I asked his if he heard me talking to myself? He says yes and kind of giggles. I asked him if he saw me moving everything on the counter to find it, he said yes. I then ask him if he saw me feeling the floor for it? He says yes. I said to him if you saw all that and you know i was looking for the tie thats in your hand why didn't you give it to me? No answer. I said to him that its not nice to move things on people and its really not nice to move things on a person whos eyes arent good. He says I'm sorry mommy, then starts asking all kinds of questions of how, why, when, who, what in regards to why mommy has bad eyes. And i love his answer at the end. Oh. Okay. I have special eyes and i can help! Lol, okay as long as you don't take the tie again.
I've been super busy with filling crochet orders!!! I'm so excited and love hearing the kind words about the work I do. After I get caught up on orders I need to start getting in the habit of making multiple of the same hat so I have some type of an inventory.
Have a blessed Sunday!
