Did you get April fooled?

By -
I got April fooled. Sort of. My neice called me from PA to April fool me and I played along. I love April fools day so I am on alert most of the day. The computer has been April fooling me however, so someone's having a good time with me. Probably my Nana. She absolutely loved April Fools day. We have long elaborate family stories of how we have had fun on this day.

We have a bit of jelly bean overload in this house. Brach's, Sweettart (have you tried these, ohhhhh are they sour, and addictive) and Jolly Ranchers. I know I've mentioned that Helen Brach the candy heiress lived in our town of Glenview. So we have to have some Brach's beans and talk about how she's never been found. Al brought the others home because the real jelly bean lover in the house, had a crash on his bike yesterday and broke a rib. I think it is medically proven that jelly beans heal broken ribs, right?

I am finishing the crochet shawl tonight. I haven't decided on a border or fringe.....hmmmm. I cannot wait to wash this linen and see if it, indeed, is as soft as promised when washed.....

Then there is the matter of Al and I winning some yarn moohla. NCAA march madness and we are the CHAMPIONS, my friend. Sing along.... Of course we have to split it, but I will undoubtedly purchase a yarn something or other. I saw the ear piece with the light that would light up my knitting for porch season. Truth be told, the needles with the lights only work if I am....ready? knitting with size 10s. This revelation occurred to me after I bought the tens.

Then again, I would love a wooden crochet hook that my LYS is selling.

A massage would be heaven......but it will be over too quickly and then I'll be sad AND have no new yarn.

For those of you who guessed which class I'm taking at Stitches, well there was a clue. I said I hated to waste money. STASHOLOGY!

Happy April!

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 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...
