Has anyone seen the laptop?

I finished the fixation fight. I think I won. I know I was supposed to rotate projects to help my wrists. I could see the end, though, and that was it. I pushed through the pain. ( no eipidural this time either....) FO. Ahhhhhhhhhhh.

Here's a sweet thought. My Dairy Bar Ice Cream stand opens tomorrow. Spring is really here. Has yours opened?

Waiting for my wee tiny sweet sock too!

Here's a Sweet recipe for you. (Lynne's IWKTIMMW)

Makes your favorite brownies.
Buy a box of Andes mints.
Unwrap them and place them atop the hot brownies.
Cover in foil 5 minutes.
Remove foil, swirl melted mints all around to cover brownies.
Cool. Enjoy.

Oh those brownies (and the cookies) sound so good! Kathy, love the colors in your latest project. It is hard not to plunge ahead when you are so close to the finish line. Glad your wrist made it through ok.

i am sitting here with an upset stomach and all I can think about is those brownies with mint on them, Mint settles your stomach right, so it would be theraputic!!!!

During the winter holidays, Andes mints come in "chip" form so I add them to my brownie batter before baking. I like the idea of melting them on top of the brownies though too. Delish.

What a lucky laptop!

 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...
