Getting Into Crocheting - Finally!

I finally got a start on my renewed crocheting hobby. I was amazed how much I didn't remember or didn't know. I don't think I ever learned many of the basic stitches. Many years ago I had made two afghans and just learned enough about the stitches in those projects. I'm finding there are a few basics I don't remember or never learned. I'm definitely having fun with it. I'll just keep following the lessons in the book while I look around for an afghan I want to make for my first project.

I have nothing new to report about my health and well-being. I'm getting myself all psyched up for my next treatment this coming week. I actually look forward to them because each one done is one closer to the last one. And because the drugs don't mess with me too bad, I don't dread the next treatment as others may do because their side effects are much harsher.

My son is back from camp. The scout camp was hosting a work weekend that included job interviews. He is hoping to be hired on as a counselor for the summer. A real paying job. It's hard to find jobs when you are only 16. Actually, it's hard finding jobs at any age nowadays. So today he was observed as he worked with a team doing tasks around camp. He also had a sit-down interview where they asked lots of questions. The interviews were taped and will be reviewed by another staff member who will help in the hiring process. There is one more work/interview weekend in February for other applicants that couldn't make this weekend. Then we wait for their decision. We have no idea how soon that will be. I really hope he gets hired. He worked as a volunteer counselor-in-training last summer and really loved the camp, the work, and especially the people he worked with and for. How great is that!
