Three on Thursday

Joining Carole and friends for Three on Thursday, today with Three Reasons Why I Did Not Write An Unraveled Wednesday Post Yesterday.

1.  I thought I was getting tantalizingly close to a lighter green section of the sock blank, and if I just knit a little bit more it would be more interesting than another photo looking much the same as the previous ones. It turns out that was not really the case. 

 2.  I let myself get waylaid by three loads of laundry, and then a washing machine that would not drain. The laundry is done, I've cleared the clog in the drain hose, and order has been restored to clean clothes world, but this took me several hours.

 3.  Today is John's birthday and I baked him a cake. He's celebrating 72 happy years! (Just kidding.) It is his birthday, and he is a mere babe of 61, but he argued with me for far too long on my birthday this year that I was 65. I was actually 62, but it just makes me feel good to chuckle at a semi-private birthday joke. He never reads my blog, so I'm the only one who know I'm making the joke. Shh ... don't tell him!

Head on over to Carole's for more Three on Thursday thoughts.

    Ugh, washing machine issues are so frustrating! I hope you have no more issues now that the clog has been cleared.

    Happy birthday to John!

    I read that about John and thought . . . wait . . . JOHN is older than DALE? And then I saw you were kidding. Good one!

    I just love your green Hitchhiker proudly pinned in with your green garden! I am also thrilled that order has been restored to the clean clothes world... disorder in laundry is never, ever a good thing!

    And, I my lips are sealed... but Happy Birthday, John!

    Happy Birthday to John! (And Fletch WILL be 72 in September!!). Your Hitchhiker looks great pinned on the line with the garden in the picture too. Glad both the Hitchhiker and the sock blank are securely pinned!!

    Great Hitchhiker photo! Glad you were able to restore order to the laundry. While I'm glad I don't have a clogged hose, I do wish I had an excuse for the state of mine.

    Happy birthday (however old he is!!!) to John! And I just love your JohnDeere-in-the-garden shot of your Hitchhiker. XO (Sorry about the laundry . . . but so impressed you were able to git-r-dun all on your own.)

    You can do anything, I swear! Unclogging drains and still doing laundry, knitting John Deere's, baking cakes! You're a renaissance woman!

    Oh yes those home repairs dig right into the day and they don't let go. Fireman spent a day last week going to Home Depot 3 times for a sump pump issue. I keep hoping for a laundry line outside, but Fireman doesnt want one. Okay, I would probably get too much mold and pollen on the laundry outside anyhow . :)

    The hitchhiker looks great hanging above the garden. Happy Birthday to your husband. Man - you go girl - someone who can unclog drains/hoses and get the cake baked - is woman with many strengths.
