If there was a sign to place outside our door for Socks Made On 88 today, it would have read ,"GONE FISHIN' "
MrB has taken a fishing trip to Newfoundland so there will be no production of any socks at all until he gets back. He is taking a much needed break and a male-bonding trip to visit his son. I would imagine too that he is also soaking up many of the sights and will have stories to tell me when he gets back home.
MrB didn't leave me any work of sock stuff to do while he is gone, so it is play time for msb this week! What's good for the Gander is good for the Goose too! I switched that around a little bit. Did anyone notice?
A little break doesn't hurt anyone especially when he gets back we will be gearing up for a little something new. We, Socks Made On 88 will be an "Attraction" next weekend at a community affair out of town. Brigadier 88 will get his bath and get all spicked and spanned to show off on Saturday, July 21st. MrB will be doing a demo for interested parties over-seeing him and I will be selling our wears. Our Socks that are Hugs for your Feet! We will have to get into market mentality once again. We are hoping this is a fun event as they have already told us that if we want to come again a second time the option will be open.
So here's to a good Fishing trip for MrB, and here's to a great attraction day coming up! Here's to me, msb, as of now I am signing off Socks Made On 88 for a couple of days! I will enjoy the dog-days of summer. What a glorious day it was here today, and the forecast is sunny for the whole week. Play time here I come!
On a adventure today with my son, tomorrow movies, Wednesday and Thursday visiting, and Friday through into the weekend I hope to catch up on some felt appliqueing, reading, and maybe even do some of my pending embroidery project that has been patiently been waiting for a turn of my attention. Socks Made On 88 has definitely won out on my attention the last number of months. But that is OK as I love it!
Cheers, a good week to all, see you again here real soon,
msb from Socks Made On 88
