Scattered Thoughts.....this time with an excuse

By -


1. I'm using Huck's passing as an excuse for my randomness.......truth is it could be any day in my life. (pretend friends
let you get away with stuff)

2. My photographer Zach took the image on the post today. Thanks Z-man. College guy. Starting tomorrow!

3. The gig is up. I'm really the messy one in the family. Now it is going to be obvious to Fireman as we can be the
only ones making the mess as of tomorrow!

4. You don't have to knit a ruffle when you are grieving. And you didn't want to anyway!

5. My father's back is a bit better.........thanksgiving abounds. I'm big on thanksgiving.

6. I have this strange need to keep stash knitting. I'm on a roll.

7. Zach has asked for a school colors hat. THis time he's getting it however I knit it. (and he'll like it that way)

8. What do you want to bet, I'll make his hat to his specs, after a week of missing him!

9. and don't hold me to this, because it may just be grief, but I am thinking of getting on a plane....

10. Fireman is taking me to the Wisconsin Sheep and Wool festival. WAHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'll talk to you in the comments. :)

*Good luck to Zach!
*Good to hear that your Dad's back is better!!
*Odd that you should mention ruffles. I don't like them either but I found a scarf pattern that has TWO rows of ruffles and I'm dying to knit it.
*Looking forward to seeing Zach's school colors hat.
*I'm sorry but I would have to drive to Wisconsin but I'm proud of you even thinking about getting on a plane!

Still too sad. Holli dislocated her elbow again today. Just seeing her walking in pain made my heart break. I've gotten very good at popping it back in though.

Thanks for your post. My mom lives in Skokie so when I'm back in town (Thanksgiving or Christmas breaks) we'll have to share some knitting time!

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...
