But I haven't done anything newsworthy, have I?

Yet again, my brother has reminded me to post; he says it's been 8 weeks since I did. Maybe I've been too busy to post. No, not really.

On the knitting front, I have three 'temperature scarves' to show you - one for each month.
January
 
February
 
March
 
 
I've done some other knitting, as well. I like this little toddler top pattern, because it is done all in one piece and doesn't require any sewing or buttons. I have the yarn in several different colorways that I hope to use for more like this. But I'm currently working on several shawls. I'll get back to baby stuff after I finish a couple of them.
 
On the great-grandkids' activities front:

On March 8, Lexi was inducted into the National Honor Society.
 
On March 9, Rose was one of the court jesters when the 6th graders from her school put on the musical Joust.  They used the high school's theater rather than the gym at their school. I enjoyed the performance.
 
Last week I drove 450 miles and was never more than 40 miles from my house. 185 miles of that was on Tuesday - Sara called about 8 am and asked me to do her a favor. So I drove from Milburn to Sedalia, then went into Mayfield to do her favor and a couple of errands of my own, and came back to Milburn. Later, I drove back to Sedalia and got Rose and took her with me to Metropolis IL to the Jazz Supper at Massac County High School. Baked spaghetti, salad, bread sticks, with cookies or brownies for dessert. The schools Jazz Band provided entertainment. Wednesday was my normal weekly trip to Paducah. Thursday was Alyssa's birthday, so I drove to Metropolis and took her out to lunch. Friday I went to Mayfield for the library's used book sale (I already had 16 unread books stacked up beside my bed, so it didn't really make sense to buy more). Saturday I again went to Metropolis; this time to have dinner at the Mexican restaurant there and hear the Jazz Band play again. Those kids are  good!
 
I think that brings us up to date, and I hear thunder, so I'll publish this and then shut down the computer.
