Busy,Busy,Busy

The past month has been so busy I don't know where to start. First off Stephanie has gotten her driver's licence. Now we have to get her car on the road. Tom was able to pick up a 1983 Mercedez diesel for a very low price. We have it registered but it needs a battery and a new key, she wants it done by Friday but I don't know if that will happen but we will try.
The I got to see the Yarn Harlot on the 16 of October, she is well worth taking the time to see her. I can't remember the time I laughed so much.
I finally finished a full skein of yarn from my spinning wheel, had some trouble spinning at first but was able to get some help and it got much easier. Then had more trouble when I went to ply the yarn but finally got it done.
In between all this I had dr's appts and 2 trips to the ER. The first trip was for Stephanie, she strained her back and then had an allergic reaction to something and had huge welts all over her body.
Then I made two trips to Gainsville with Tom for surgery on his ear for skin cancer. They believe they got it all so that is good. I was able to turn the second trip into a shopping trip to Hanks a yarn store in Gainsville. Then the same day we got back from his checkup in Gainsville he is a very stupid thing. He was cleaning a musket that belonged to our neighbor for use in a reenacting event in Nov. and it went off hitting him in the hand. So off we went to the ER for that, he was very lucky that there was only soft tissue damage but it sure messed up my evening. I will post pictures of everything in a second post.
