Still on vacation

I am still on vacation. Now in Kansas. Last week we were in Alabama to visit with my daughter and her family. It was great and we had such nice weather. It was trying to turn into fall, but still wonderful. We originally came to Kansas first, but there has been some problems so we are back.

Our Son Brian has had what they are calling a TIA. A stroke or something. We are here now waiting to see what happens. We came to help with the kids and see what they think is wrong. So far they thought he had a heart attack, and a Grand Mal seizure. I don't know for sure. He had an allergic reaction to some medication they gave him and that has complicated everything. We are going to see him tonight for the first time. Soooooo I don't know when I will get back home.

On a brighter note, we have had such a wonderful time seeing the country. We have been through so many states and I have taken lots of pictures. I have had to master taking them from the car which is such a task. I am not a photographer anyway so what a riot. I did discover that my camera does video too. ( that was by complete accident) I think I need to read the book that came with my camera. I have been pretty much the trial by fire kinda gal so far. I loved the trees and the greenery everywhere through the southern states. I also loved the Rocky mountains. I will have more details later when I get home and can add pictures.

I have continued to work on my Adult Surprise Jacket and it is almost done. I finished one pair of socks this week for a Christmas present and started another. I also knitted 5 baby wash clothes from Las Vegas to Kansas. They were for a friend of my daughter-in law's who was due to have her baby and had it on my Birthday! 10lbs and 1oz. I have been doing a little drop spindling, and hope to do more this week. I brought lots of yarn and projects to work on and have bought some yarn along the way. That is another story for later (with pictures)
