The First Week Of Lasts

This has been a week filled with "boo/yeas."  I spent lots of time with Linda but I have just a little over a month until Linda moves to Washington to be closer to her boys.  So this was a week filled with lasts.  On Tuesday Linda and I made a visit to Barbara Hooberman, our gynecologist.  For years and years, Linda and I have been making this trip together.  We go see Barbara then we go out to lunch and go shopping.  This will be our last trip like this for two reasons; 1) Linda is leaving and 2) Barbara is retiring.  Barbara is the most patient-oriented doctor I've ever had.  She gives you her fill attention for as long as you need.  She even calls personally to give test results.  She's the best.

Linda and I each knitted a gift for Barbara.  I gave her this wonderful necklace and Linda gave her a Shibui scarf.  There were tears.  Linda has gone to Barbara for probably thirty-five years.  Barbara delivered the boys and helped Linda through some difficult times.  Barbara removed my football sized ovarian cyst and was the recipient of the "Under The Influence Scarf."  Remember that story?  You can read the story on the May 29, 2014 post.  It is a hoot.  At 11:45, we finished the first of our lasts for the week, our appointment with Barbara.

Next we went to Spun that fabulous yarn shop in Ann Arbor.  This won't be a last as I am sure we will visit once more before Linda leaves.  I wanted to see if Spun would carry the new Knitter's Pride Melodies Of Life limited edition, interchangeable circular needles set.  This set is something else.  It has two pair of earrings in it.  If that doesn't have "Jan" written all over it, I don't know what does.  There are three things I can't resist: books, anything to do with knitting and earrings.  If this had a book included it would be the absolutely, most perfect gift ever!  Well, Spun won't be carrying them, but I wanted to check first before I bought them any place else.  Have I mentioned that I LOVE SPUN.  Linda and I bought very little yarn since our plans were to go to the Fall Fiber Expo on Sunday.  Next we had lunch at Zingerman's which is right across the street from Spun.  Unfortunately, this may be the last time Linda and I go to Zingerman's.  Tuesday wrapped up with us having a great, happy/sad day.  Any day spent with Linda is a great day.  

​I was going to write about our trip to The Fall Fiber Expo, but I have way too much to say about that and I think writing about this has made me sad enough for one day.  I will post about FFE next time.  It was a great time and I got some great  stuff.  See you then.
