These past few weeks have been a bit tough. Many things surfaced at work and new plans for our family are occurring. The fun part for me is that I've been knitting along these tough times. Knitting is a source of relaxation, invigoration and rejuvenation. Well, spinning, is, too, as well as playing with the rabbits! :)
I've been participating in our KAL and am working on a cotton towel with a bull dog picture in it. Well, I hope it is coming out good. I will take a picture of the work in progress tonight. Thus far, I have the legs completed!
This past weekend our family went to the Rio Grande Valley and we visited my parents and sisters. We had a wonderful time. Pictures of that will also be posted on the blog along with a very special segment I want to share with you all. The segment is "Diego goes to work". Yes, Diego, our English Angora that we acquired some time ago from Bumblebeary's English Angoras, went to work and boy did he make a splash! Kids and adults loved him! I plan to take him back again soon.
Hopefully, with the new prospectives coming along for our family I will not neglect our blog.

KAL is fun!
I'm a member of a yahoo knitting group and I'm excited to partake in the KAL (Knit Along) for September. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/MonthlyDishcloths/cal
Knit-A-Longs (KALs)
This group holds 2 KALs per month. A “KAL” is a knit along. An email is sent to the group with about 7 lines of a pattern a day and continues for about 7 days. After 7 days we should have a wonderful dishcloth to use or pass along to someone special.
You can also go to our BLOG at: http://monthlydishclothkal.blogspot.com/
A good idea is to bookmark this site!
1st of the Month KAL: These KALs have a monthly theme and usually have a picture of something pertaining to the month/season. Usually a solid color is best for pictured dishcloths.
Hope people joins the fun!

Allergies Galore!
Ugh, San Antonio weather has turned on me! Although the weather has been really nice, lately, the mold and other allergens are extremely tough and many people, myself included have been having a tough time dealing with the allergies.
The good thing is that the temperatures have been quite bearable and pretty nice for the rabbits. We've been grooming and blowing coats and excited September finally arrived. Summer is finally over! Well, here in San Antonio, Texas, the summer tends to linger at times up till October! :)

We've been keeping an eye on Hurricane "Jimena" in Mexico
We've been having nice weather Monday and Tuesday here in San Antonio, Texas. Let's hope it continues to be that way, rather than extremely hot.
In Mexico, our family and friends have been tracking Hurricane Jimena, which is Category 4 and might hit land in Cabos, this evening. The news has reported that many people in Cabo are refusing to go to shelters due to fears of looting their few possessions.
My friends and I have a scheduled trip for October and we will be visiting Cabos in Mexico. We're going on a cruise around the Mexican Riviera so, hopefully, the area will be pleasant, but right now our concerns are with the people in Mexico and the Hurricane that is approaching.
We need to keep the people in our prayers and trust that they will be spared and can deal with the situation safely.
