P.S.

I texted my son Zach from the car this morning at a decent hour of 10:30 a.m.

{I brought you a treat, I'll be there in 10 minutes}

No Response.

{I am now in your dorm lobby.}

No Response and then!

{Who is this}

I say {MOM! I am waiting in the lobby!}

Response?

{My mom? }

Response

{my mom! Judy B.field from the Bronx?}

Now Im laughing hysterical with the girl at the Dorm desk

my response "NO! SO SORRY"

his response

"No problem!"

Someone who named Judy B.field, for short,
raised a very polite boy whose mother did NOT meet him in
the dorm lobby with treats this morning.....

What are the odds?

Oh funny story!
So sorry I flaked on making a blanket -- bit off more than I could chew ;-0.
Love your pumpkins -- especially the one with his tongue sticking out LOL.
Blessings,

I'm from the Bronx. Maybe I went to school with his Mom. All New Yorkers are very polite. Really.

You should tell the pumpkin not to smoke - it's not healthy.

I'm going up to check my stash to send you choices. I'll send mail tonight.

You are so funny! And Darfack--now that's hilarious. Did the boy ever get his treats?

Your yarn and the blanket are going out today by the fastest snail we could find in the mail system.

Funniest text story ever!!!!

I have two blankets finished. They aren't mailed yet because I've been sick. :( They are coming, but I can't promise they'll be there for the contest. I'm fine with that though - it's not like my house isn't already overflowing with yarn. LOL

I'm definitely not going to make it in time for the contest, but I promise you I will send a couple blankies by the end of the year!

I love your pumpkins!

 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...
