Working Hard for the Money


My poor honey.
Derrick has been working almost around the clock to have a project ready for his trip to Arkansas on Friday.


The past weeks since we returned from Arizona he has been really burning the midnight oil. I'm missing him and will be thrilled when this project and trip are over. Proud doesn't cover how I feel about his accomplishments though. When we were in Phoenix for the Society of American Florist convention many people remarked to me how much they respected Derrick and his business acumen. I am so happy for him and just about burst with pride at how well he is regarded. It helps to remember how much he loves what he does when I start to miss him too much.


In knitting news I am working on a mini laptop cover for Alex with cables and a throw for Amber. Both will be Christmas presents. I was bummed to run out of yarn for my clapotis, hopefully I will be able to find another skein somewhere. I am hoping to finish a few of my works in process before the end of the year.


I will be hosting an open house this weekend for another agent and hope to meet some interested buyers to work with. I'm still waiting on that first sale. I have 2 listings currently and am hoping for 2 more by January.


We were saddened last week by the death of my great uncle. He was only 75 and was more like a brother than an uncle to my dad. I pray his daughters are able to grieve and then celebrate his life and the fact that he is no longer unwell.
