Happy Holidays

The holiday break has begun. I almost managed to avoid that desperate student. Until the very last day, when one of the Art faculty called to say that her student had lost her "blurb book" on one of our lab machines. Poor kid, she did everything right, had it backed up to a thumb drive, but the program crashed as she was backing up the finished project to take a copy home, and it corrupted both copies of the file. Sometimes computers stink. Luckily, the professor had already graded the project, she just wasn't able to take a copy home to show the folks. It was sad.

On Monday, our Christmas company arrived. Our goddaughter, Kathi, and her mom. They're staying until New Year's Eve. Next week, Kathi's brother is arriving, too. Since Kathi is in a wheelchair, she can't go up to our normal guest space in the attic, so we have converted half the family room to a bedroom. Thank goodness it's 15' x 22', so there's room. We put up a curtain, and it seems to be working just fine. I love having a home with lots of space! I have to work the rest of this week, then I have two weeks off. Peter will be off next week as well. I'm not sure what we'll all do for the week, but it'll be fun to have the free time with everyone.

So with house renovations and company, not much knitting has been happening. Probably won't until New Year's. But it's an exciting time at the Airplane House, and in case I don't get a chance to post again before then, Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!
