It is always easier when it isn't me

We turned Zach loose at college yesterday. I always called him my Morning Glory because he arrived at the crack of dawn. Zach if you are reading this, I took this image of a morning glory at Wagner Farm this morning. Did I do well? i did not use the auto mode! Leaving Zach at college was easier than when I was left at college. Things are always easier when I am not the one going through the changes.

Okay, I am getting misty so lets move on.

Abby was just over with her lace knitting. She knew she had to rip it out. I helped her. Frogging is so much easier when it isn't your knit! I did teach her about lifelines. She will succeed next time. I have no doubt.

Fireman and I can't stick around the house. We do better out. So you'll be seeing some new scenery here.

My log cabin blanket is calling to me. So is my nap. Shhhhhhh. Can you hear them? You know who is going to win don't you?????


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

Neither of mine would ever qualify as Morning Glory's. They definately come alive (and become more human) closer to lunch time!

Am sure Zach will settle well into college and that life at your end will settle. It's so hard sometimes seeing them reach greater independence. Even though its what we've been preparing them for years, it's never easy. I still love it when DD1 occasionally stays overnight.

Hope you had a good nap;o) Mine was lovely too!

You certainly knew the nap would win out. Glad yours was great as well. A few more good naps and I'll be on my way ...

Kinda hard, wasn't it? It has been over a decade since dropping off the oldest and I can still get that rattling-around feeling here at home. Maybe I need a good nap?

You're going to take a nap...LOL!

I broke this morning, when I was writing my blog. My dad loved music so much, but with the song of Bobby Bare and Johnny Cash (I still miss someone) tears came. Can't help it...

That is an amazing photo! You are getting really good. I really should learn to use my camera.

I have been knitting all afternoon and I hear a nap calling out to me now. Hope yours was good.

The nearly Thousandth post Contest

(just another baby legging in the image. Using my socks yarns a little differently) I think that blogger may not have correctly counted all the posts I've written. I've been posting since 2004 so I guess it is possible. I'm not going to go back and count them all. It says this is post 987. So we'll go with it. Im having a little contest for the milestone, but I have had writer's block since I decided on the 1000th post contest. So to take the pressure off, we are just going to do this now. :) I get crazy with pressure around events of all kinds. I just do. To enter: Please please please only leave a comment about this post on this post. Im much too flakey to search around differnt posts, afterall there are nearly a thousand (did I mention that number already? sorry....) Leave a comment telling me anything about Lace. If you dn't know anything about Lace, ask someone and share their knowledge. Do tell us who gave you this lace advice, to make it f...

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...
