The winner is and other things

By -



Well the winner of the contest is Tom . But I don't think Tom wants a yarn bag that is blue? Do you Tom? You let me know! More on this later. Congratulations Tom for knowing the Frugal Hungarian's nature!

Other things:

It's really summer this weekend. HEAT HUMIDITY. and BREEZES that are so appreciated you want to lean back and sigh every time a breeze passes over you. So in keeping with this I am showing you two motorcycle images of this summer. I do not ride a motorcycle but I think it would be so fun. Don't worry, this woman won't even ride in the car without her seatbelt and cannot get on a horse without a panic, so I never will ride a motorcycle.

But, they are interesting to me. The little is a Honda from the 60s that a friend finally got around to reviving. I think it is so cute with it's blue color. I could have it for a song. But, that's a lot of yarn.......

The other image Zach took with his artistic eye, at a garbage heap we walked past on vacation. I love the image. Not the garbage, or the dump, but the way the vines grew around it anyhow. I like the bit of red you can see.

So just because you never know what I'll post, and I knew you wouldnt mind: there are the motorcycles of my 49th summer!


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

Firemen usually always need another good bag to carry all their junk in! You could even embroider his name on it.

I love the artsy photos and I know what you mean--I am fascinated by bikes but would never ride one. DS (my fireman) rides a big one and I worry about him all the time!

The first bike looks like it could use a loving restoration. The second one is beautiful.

By the way, I bought a 320 GB Seagate external hard drive from Office Depot for about 80 bucks. I was going to have to redo my laptop. I love it.

We have the heat, the humidity, but no breeze!

Makes it really hard to knit wool!

I can't believe I won.

Well the reason I know how tough it is to guess the right yarn for someone is because I've tried to do it (not entirely successfully)! My wife is a knitter too and would love it. As a matter of fact, she's one of your regulars.

I'll send you e-mail next and maybe you'll recognize the name :-)

Thanks so much for a fun contest. In fact she sent me over to answer the photo saving question.

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...
