And the Winner Is . . .
First off, Lizzy B was the only one to guess the right answer! It was my niddy noddy and a cd drop spindle (courtesy of Spin-Off). Of course she had a little help since she had recently seen those at my house :-) But, as I said, all guesses would be tossed in the hat. Mom drew Ann of Purlingswine this morning! So, Ann, drop me a line with which pattern you’d like a copy off and I’ll e-mail it to you.
Thanks everyone for playing!

Here is a photo of Seraphim as of this morning. Very little was done on it yesterday, just a row and a half. I was a bit too antsy to sit still and knit something from a chart. Though I do suppose the self-control would have been good for me, LOL! The color is a little off there. It’s really a bit darker than that.

Mom’s plane was 45 minutes late so DH and I both went down and were able to have a leisurely supper before heading down. She had two people helping her out at baggage and later she found out that neither of them even had checked luggage! She totally could have gotten help to the shuttle, LOL! But we did get home almost an hour before she would have if she had taken the shuttle.
Emma and Gaston are doing their best to be friends. Emma did get up multiple times last night and sniffed at their door. But they ate breakfast together (that was somewhat entertaining, but nothing bad) and had a run outside for a while. Gaston is non-dominant and is actually a little scared that Emma will get him in trouble so he is liking to hide under furniture (which is a joke given how large he is). Emma is keeping vigilant watch on her toys, but has now finally quit pacing and has taken her spot on the rug in front of the patio door watching the kids walk to school.
We have no real plans for today yet. I suspect we’ll probably grab lunch somewhere and then get a few toys for Gaston to keep in “his place” in the bedroom. So if he is stressed he’ll have a bone to chew on.
Depending on what mom wants to do and that I may or may not get around to reading blogs or posting here tomorrow and Monday. But I’ll be back regular on Wednesday for sure!
I’m glad to hear the trip to and from the airport was largely uneventful. Have a great time with your Mom.

Woo Hoo! Oh, Gaston is adorable! I’m not surprised that your mom had plenty of help. It warms my heart when I see most people really are decent human beings. We had a blind gentleman on my flight out to see you guys. I offered to help him, but he had a human travelling companion so he was ok. :) It’s a shame that sometimes it takes another’s disability to bring out the humanity in some people, but it’s encouraging that something does…
You’re right, I did have an unfair advantage, but the spindle was a really tough one to pinpoint… :)
Congrats Ann! I’m jealous you know! :)

Have a lovely and relaxing visit with your mom! Ok, you’re right - I even have a niddy noddy, so I could probably have sussed that out. I really do love the color of your Seraphim.

Well have a wonderful time with your mom, and enjoy playing with those pups!

I’m glad your mom made it safe and sound. Sounds like your mom is a real charmer and she would have navigated her way through DIA like a pro! :-)

I love your mother! It was hard to decide between your Dimple Socks or the Flatiron, but I am going to choose the Dimple Socks. Give your Mom a big hug from me! and you too!
