How are you all doing? Food, weather, craft goals, weekly plans, etc.

Dear users, dear authors,
how are you?
Did you have a nice weekend?
Do you have any craft goals or weekly plans?
What are you eating today?

My goal is to finish the right front panel of my cardigan this week. Then, hopefully, my kitchen will finally be ready this week so I can set up my cabinets and so on.

My weekend was colorful, cheerful, and bustling. On Saturday, my son celebrated his 30th birthday. We gave him a homemade photo album with pictures from his childhood and a treasure chest of memories. Inside the treasure chest were his first school notebooks, his primer, certificates from the fire department, his “Seepferdchen” swimming badge, his first walking shoes, his favorite little sweater, and children’s books I wrote for him, etc., etc.—truly a treasure chest of memories.

  The day after that, his son Oskar celebrated his first birthday. We unwrapped presents with him to cheerful children’s songs, ate sugar-free blueberry cake, and then went to the animal park together. He found everything very exciting—there was so much to look at and pet. The weather was perfect, too. A wonderful day for all of us.

Our children and grandchildren are—and always will be—the most precious gift of all :-)

This week, I’m taking it a bit easier and enjoying the quiet of fall. After a short break, I’ll get back to my crafts. I wish all readers of this thread a wonderful week.

Warm regards—Ina

I haven’t planned much.
Let’s see if I can manage to pick up my library card for the university library in Frankfurt tomorrow.

Other than that, I’m currently working on the handles for my little crocheted bag.

Schnuckelina: That’s such a wonderful idea with the treasure chest of memories! Your son must have been thrilled! Unfortunately, quite a few of our keepsakes were lost during our move from one continent to another, and I’ve also realized that I was pretty careless about keeping a baby and childhood journal—unfortunately!
Since our son (who, by the way, is celebrating his 36th birthday today!) lives so far away, we missed our third grandchild’s first birthday…
