While my birthday was 11 days ago, I had a couple of very nice gifts after that.

Happy Birthday To Me!

First of all, instead of a birthday cake on my birthday (since we had cake for dessert in the restaurant on my birthday), Thaddeus made me birthday PIE the day after.

If you can try and imagine the tart cherry sweetness mixed with the butter, flaky crust, you might just have a sense about the heaven I was in eating this pie for the week.

Thaddeus also went ahead and ordered this baby for me.

It’s a new coffee grinder…a Rancillio grinder which has significantly increased my ability to make amazing lattes.

I think I can now consider my birthday celebrations complete for 2015.

Current Knitting

I haven’t done a huge amount of knitting since my last blog entry.

I’m almost finished with the first sock and I’ve made quite a bit of progress on the second one.  I already love this pair of socks and can’t wait to wear them.  It always amazes me how long it takes to split the yarn into two close-to-equal balls.
