One Day At A Time

Mom is continuing to hold her own against the leukemia, but is weak enough that one of us needs to be with her all the time so she doesn't fall again. That leaves me with plenty of time to knit, read & (now that I have the computer over there working again) transcribe records for my genealogy site. I'm knitting the same old hats & crocheting the same old scarves, so I didn't bother taking a photo of the 12 hats & 8 scarves I turned in last Thursday. There are only so many color combinations that are interesting {g}.. I think I have 5 sets completed since last Thursday and I'm working on the 6th.

If anyone is following my reading list over there in the sidebar, you'll notice that I've been on a mystery kick - specifically mysteries set in the American South-west. Tony Hillerman's books are always good and I really enjoyed the Ella Clah series by Aimée and David Thurlo. A couple weeks ago, I discovered the Kevin Kerney series by Michael McGarrity and have been reading them one after another with short breaks for other books like Carol O'Connor's latest Malory novel. It's great finding a new (to me) series of already published books that I can go through as fast as I can read them. I think we easily save our entire property tax bill in books we don't have to buy because they're available at the library.
