A wonderful weekend of song

By -


Remember this from Cinderella?

"Do you love her because she's wonderful? Or is she wonderful , because you love her?"

This is my real friend who comments on the blog, Kath.
She is the funniest friend I know. She can make all of us laugh at any time.
She visited us today as she was in from L.A. And I love her because she is WONDERFUL!

We became friends in High School. She is so lovely.
She made this comment that I never TALK TO YOU IN THE COMMENTS.
For some strange reason, I have been so remiss. I haven't ever talked back to her
in the comments.
So I told her I'd write today's blog about her!

I tossed some needles and yarn at her and she said ,, NO NO NO!
It was useless, the theatre major, and current actress in L.A.
reacted as quick as a wink to the sight of the camera. She darn right
purred at it.

She has this incredible voice. She was always starring in our HS plays.
So it fit that i was at Ravinia last night for their Rogers and Hammerstein evening.

Either you grew up with musicals and know every word, or you look at those of
us who did, as completely bizarre. Well, I was in an audience of the former last night.

It was song after song that made my heart happy.
OKlahoma: People Will say we're in Love
Showboat: We could make believe I love you
Cinderella: ten minutes ago I met you
Annie Get your Gun: I want a wedding with in a big church, (duet)

and on and on.

I tried over and over again to start a new knit today.
I have had 2 glasses of champagne and that hasn't helped a bit either.
Somedays you are not meant to cast on. They are few and far between
but this day is one of them.
A dear friend who went to the show with me, Diane, gave me two pair
of square needles last night.
I am going to use them next, I just have to get my pattern notes
straightened out. Tomorrow when I wake up to
Oklahoma's opening song, it will be a beuatiful day!


I'll talk to you in the comments. :)

It's so good to hear such joy in your (writing) voice! Sounds like great fun. GD#3 was recently in a musical at school that incorporated many of the great Broadway songs. It was so much fun to sing along with her!

BTW the last show we saw at Ravinia was Winston Marsalis. I miss home!!

Every Once in a While I Might Post

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I have been knitting, but not making things.  6. MY gardens are growing.  I have 3 main areas I

  These are the one square bunnies .  They are a free pattern on Rave1ry.  I'm bunny making to force spring to come.  I'm a1so taking it easy on my hands again.  The med we tried did keep my hands from shaking, but it was a med for a med. and that's crazy town.  I can contro1 a hook much better than need1es.  It wi11 have to suffice for now.  I'm enjoying your b1ogs and your Spring.  This time of year I so want to 1ive in a southern state.  But this Spring is a new one for me and I'm going to find a way to 1ove it.   IT may have just gotten to 50.   Degrees.  I have to run.  There's very ear1y yardwork to do.   The birds have 1eft a rotten mess of sunf1ower she11s under the feeders.  I hope it is not frozen!  Have you been switching things up in your neck of the woods?   I haven't forgotten you, b1og pa1s.  I 1ove seeing you on Instagram .

Do You Smile When You Knit???

I am pretty sure I smile when I knit.  I'm going to think about that today when I pick up the baby blanket in progress.  I am also pretty sure I cry when I knit; well, not really.  I have shed some tears over the years but they were way back.  I surely scowl when I drop a stitch.   A time lapse of knitters' faces would be interesting enough .... Tank, aka Helo, is starting to smile around here.  Just look into those aqua eyes......they make me smile all the time. He is half Siamese and all gorgeous.
