Second prize to : LING from London. Ling wins the Socks That Rock Ruby from IrisheyesLynn. Send me that snail mail Ling. Your postcards sent just days before you had your little girl were especially appreciated! Email me at the above address.

Third prize to : Debbear62. Deb sent great postcards including these turkeys. Same goes for you deb. Send me your snail mail. Then your MindYourKnitting polka dot bag and Binder will be sent right out to you. Deb sent her card from Middlesex MA.

Honorable mention has to go to the St. Agnes Baking Post card,and The Marriott hotel 1970s vintage postcard. Oh it was a hoot. I sent it back to Hanna because it belonged to her grandparents and she kind of wished she hadn't sent it.

Prizewinners were drawn at random by AL, under the supervision of Huck.

I loved getting the mail all summer. Thanks for lots of fun on my end. Next contest will be a bit less involved for all of you.

For now, thanks to all who played.

Happy Labor Day. I'm so glad my whole family has today off. Hope you do too.

 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...

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...
