My new Sock golden retrievers from ieLynn

Eye spy......
Irisheyes Lynn also gave me these golden retriever sock goodies. Huckie is trying to fool you , see him?

A couple of things:


I have not succumbed to the CUBS win streak at all. I pity the fools who are getting all caught up in it. Nope, still not a Cub fan anymore. If I have to pick a team in their division, its Milwaukee that I'll hope for.

Next:
Ive been tagged. Enough said. I think I'm ready. In honor of Husband cyclist I choose a Broken Rib Dish Rag pattern. Waiting for the box! I have to work 12 hours tomorrow......has anyone ever tried those super caffeine colas? I'd ingest it in the name of the team....

Finally, a little contest. My friend Jody reminded me on my quest for portion control and balance in life in general that: "More than enough is a feast." It is her favorite quote.

Quick be the first to tell me who originally said this. You win a little prizey!

OK - a bit of googling says that it comes from:
The Association Review
By American Association to Promote the Teaching of Speech to the Deaf and here is the webpage to prove it:

I thought it was Mary Poppins too.
I have never tried the high octane colas, but even the caffeine in a code red mt dew makes my heart race, so I am afraid to try the other ones. Good luck with your cloth, I am sure you will do fine.
Love your sock blockers, they are almost as pretty as Huck.

Hi,

Me again - by the way, the book I cited was published in 1900 - pretty interesting once you read the context of the quote.

I personally would relate it to stash building. Never would have thought of Mary Poppins - thought it was someone's husband talking about their stash.

The sock-blockers are fab and the eyes make it absolutely perfect, by the way.

Hi Yet again,

I'm feeling so so so tacky but not tacky enough to not post this.

I'm leaving town and may or may not have any internet access for 2 weeks. Here I am a lurker, I jump in with the answer to your question since you mention the 5 letter word (prize).

So, in case there really was a prize and I'm the winner, I won't be able to get in touch with you for maybe as much as 2 weeks. I looked all over for a way to e-mail you be alas.

Anyway, you have a great blog you 3. I really do enjoy it. I wish I could manage mine as well or had a couple of partners to help.

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...
