Would you like a Slush with that?

Justin at our local Dairy Bar is today's guest on the blog. He rolled his eyes but co-operated when I asked him to hold up Al's latest finished sweater. I did have to tell him not to stretch it! This child's sweater was knitmorphed from my disastrous shapeless summer tank of last summer. It was frogged and then knitted into this great little child's sweater. I'm planning another frogging and reknit from last summer as well.

As for the local Dairy Bar.....it is a dangerously close 2 block walk from my home to the counter....from April to Early October I am a frequent visitor. The owners have exchanged Christmas cards with us for year....I am almost always there for a Coke or a Slushie. Everyyear I say I am going to get some gooey sundae or shake or something, and I just never do. Maybe this year! How close are you to temptation?
Please leave me your email or blog so I can thank you for your comment.

That looks EXACTLY like our local ice cream place, which we visited tonight after Son Number Two's (winning) baseball game. You mean you can just get a pop there? You don't HAVE to get ice cream? Well, shoot. Why didn't someone tell me that about ten pounds earlier?

Oooh, I missed the Guest Blog Photos!!! So glad Justin agreed to help out. I love Al's sweater - so cute. I find temptations everywhere . . . especially at this time in the month. ;)

Karen, your travel wishes are so similar to mine! My temptation is the coffee place a block from work; I can't do ice cream, luckily, but have to fight the urge for an iced coffee-slushie instead! Funny photo.

What a great photo! The guy looks thrilled ;-) but you know what he'll remember that forever. I just read your HipKnits list and maybe that guy could use some fingerless gloves the ice cream biz can make your hands pretty chilly ?! That'll convert him.

BTW, the sweater is adorable :-)

 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 ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
