I love swimming. We try to go in the evenings on Friday when the main lights are turned out which creates a very relaxing atmosphere.<br /><br />Warmest wishes,<br /><br />Stephaniemillefeuilleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14608950213999238191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8229743630534449187.post-31940089405683495322014-02-02T07:44:45.606-08:002014-02-02T07:44:45.606-08:00I always love to see your photos of Mount Hood, it...I always love to see your photos of Mount Hood, it's thrilling for me to see a proper, big mountain with snow on top. I've been having fun with polymer clay recently, too, making beads for necklaces. It's a lot of fun. You look like you've been busy doing lots of fun, rewarding things lately Gracie.

I can understand why you like living at Mt. Hood. It is a rather impressive mountain. Has it got a snowy top all of the year? <br /><br />You are such a Lucky woman to have 5 grand children allready. My children are 25 and 28 but not one grand child in sight. Not in the near future either. Seems so much fun to be a granny. I also like the name "granny" very much. At this moment my (Belgian) daughter has a relationship with a German guy. No granny for me. She had her chances though (she has been studying and working in London where she met some English chaps, YES for granny but in the end she went to work in Germany. With her German friend as a result now.<br /><br />Now I've only got my son left to pick out an English girl. It is a possibility one can not ignore :) <br /><br />What are you called by your grand children? And what are their names?<br /><br />Very pleased to meet a sailor girl, <br /><br />Brigitte from Belgium<br />http://homeiswherethedachshundis.blogspot.be/Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01639087557310523786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8229743630534449187.post-42981245601473329412014-01-28T22:41:04.940-08:002014-01-28T22:41:04.940-08:00Hi Gracie,

I'm sure you'll catch on!<br />If you want the simple pattern for the baby hats, send me your email. I am willowknits at yahoo dot com. It's a super easy pattern. I adjust the number of stitches and the size of needles/weight of yarn to make all my charity hats on the same basic pattern 'template'.Willowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02912030095491960175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8229743630534449187.post-51676113442940392342014-01-27T12:56:36.311-08:002014-01-27T12:56:36.311-08:00I love how you have made a scrapbook for each of y...I love how you have made a scrapbook for each of your grandchildren's first birthdays, Gracie. That is such a special gift and I love the photo of you with the little ones. You are a very creative lady, and I think it's great that you want to try lots of different crafts!

And also the views of beautiful Mt. Hood - thank you. As for swimming - I used to enjoy it but nowadays I feel about it more or less the same as my cat would if she knew such things existed. But I'm glad you're enjoying it! Maybe I would like it more if there I could find a pool as beautiful as that one. And of course so much more fun to go with a friend.<br />As for crafting, I am attempting to recreate some fair-isle mitts. On my second attempt I believe I have the gauge right, so not bad going.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8229743630534449187.post-90745737448048669742014-01-27T09:48:15.418-08:002014-01-27T09:48:15.418-08:00You have been busy Gracie.

Your scrapbook is lovely, Rose will appreciate it very much one day. Your knitting is looking beautiful too. I'm happy for you making the effort to go swimming with Teresa, you are both doing great.
