Thanks Jennifer

Major Jennifer sent me goodies, just because. What a great surprise. I have always wanted to knit with Happy Feet yarn and I love this color way. SHe sent a pattern, the darling card, and some chocolate to boot! It really made my knit week. Thanks again Jennifer. It doesn't seem right to just say thanks to such a wonderful gesture..

It is the workend for me. I hope you all enjoy the Oscars if you are so inclined. I won't be able to watch them. I may bring popcorn to my fellow nurses, however, and slip in a few quotes from my favorite movies during the night....

Thanks for your kind comments, it is funny how your blogging friends can say just the right words and make you feel so much better. Love your knitting gift. Have a good time at work, hope it is quiet and you can have a few laughs with coworkers.

What a sweet thing! Kudos Major Jen!!

The Oscars are my least favorite TV watching--right up there with watching paint dry! I do love quotes from famous movies though, and the Fargo quote is a good one. If you love Downton Abby as I do their website has a lot of wonderful quotes from Lady Violet, the acid tongued grandmother.

Kathy - I'm so glad you liked your surprise. I think that one of life's real pleasures is an unexpected gift - no matter how small - just to say "thinking of you" - hope you got some rest from your workend!

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.
