Sunset in the Northwoods

By -


Don't let the peaceful scene fool you. There was Brett Favre ruckus at the lodge every morning. We were deep in Packer country.

I'm really so happy that I don't have to learn to add links, based on your answers to the last post. Phew!

I've got my contest prize ready, I just have to finalize the contest rules. Hopefully I'll announce the contest by the end of the week.

As for swaps, here is what I'm getting ready for my pal. I don't think she reads this blog, so I will tell you a few items I have ready to send out very soon. It is a Beach theme swap started at Iwasknittogetherinmymotherswomb blog. (Lynne's)
I'm sending salt water taffy, some great yarn, a tangerine soap with a loofah inside the soap, and some fish buttons. I need a fun Beach book for her to read. Any ideas? My swapper is not afraid of funky and fun, so I'd love to find her a swimcap that is really cute. Has anyone seen them lately?

I'm still on vacation, altho now I'm at home. Lots of good knitting getting done on the perch. I mean the porch.....





I'll talk to you in the comments. :)

Love the picture. It fills me with a sense of wonder. Sigh.

I can hardly wait until tomorrow. I'll definitely bring my knitting. Woohoo!

That beach swap sounds great! Sorry I missed it! How about "The Beach House" by Jane Green. A fun light, summer beach read.

My brother in law in a Bears fan living in Packer country....you should hear his opinions :o)

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...
