August 4-10 Episode 26 - 80000 steps

O.k. so I am not used to making several entries in one week yet. However, this week was a slow one. Lots of knitting, lots of pilate's ball bouncing and the Olympics. 
I know that I talk about my grandchildren a lot, well here is a picture of my granddaughter in the latest top that I knit for her. It makes me feel so good when they want to wear clothes that I made for them. She doesn't look very happy here but it looks like she was working hard on her latest creation. 

Here are my show notes for the week:
