I Believe

By -
 I Believe that Fireman's mother, who passed 23 years ago, was with us on our move.  The very last piece of mail we got at our OLD hundred year old home in Glenview was addressed to her, Helen B.  
When Fireman's parents first died their mail was forwarded to our home.   Now very infrequently and rather miraculously, we still get an occasional piece of mail addressed to them.  It seems to happen when we are stressed.  
I believe she's happy about our move. 
 I believe cats are magnificent at finding ways to be comfortable.  Ahem, Sir Fezzik discovers a/c vents. 
I believe that flowers in a wall vase are spectacular! 
I believe I'd never have known this if the cats weren't such big believers in eating flowers. 

I believe I found a huge cedar closet in my new basement. 

I believe I will have time to read your blogs and leave comments today!

I also believe Kims Hunks and Chicks voting is a blast. 

What do you believe?

Mail to Fireman's Mother = blessing.
Cedar lined closet = score!
Fur-babies finding their way (and using litter boxes) = big sigh of relief.

The prayers are working and things are going your way! I'm looking forward to pictures of the new nest.

Wow, you must be very organized to be almost unpacked in 2 days. We still have things in boxes from our move 30 years ago. :-) Enjoy your new home. ((hugs)), Teresa :-)

Daddio had a big cedar closet in his house. It's where we kept Mom's ashes. They are in my stash closet now amongst all the pretty yarn and fiber. When Daddio goes they want to both be tossed in the Bay. That may be a while. I hope she's patient.
Wall vases are brilliant. I never thought of that. My kitties eat flowers too and then get sick so I stopped buying them. I'll have to look into that.

I believe that cats exist to keep us smiling.

I believe I will have a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for snack! :-)

Totally laughing a fezzik! We have electric rads now, but the old house had forced air and floor vents - it was not unusual to walk into a cold room and discover it was cold because there was a cat sleeping right on top of the vent!

I believe I am amazed at just how much you have accomplished so quickly. Love the mail for Fireman's Mom. I do believe God sends us signs and wonders if we know to look for them. So glad the cats are settling in well to their new home.
Blessings,
Betsy

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.
