I am happy about:

*starting this sock over. Tried to cheat and use 3's for needles. I am happy because it really doesn't bother me at all to frog it. . It would have earlier in my knitting life.

*just knitting socks. No anxiety about decisions.

*Leftover night. No decisions about dinner. (if you'd like to know the menu it is: lasagna, amazing greek chicken, or a grilled hamburger. )

*having a great morning voluteering at the animal shelter. I get to help with what I believe in: preventing more hungry kittens and puppies in an overpopulated pet world.

*checking the weather in a warm place I am going to next month

*seeing Helo today when Al stopped by. He is a big 3 lbs now.

*feeling my back get better.

*sending off a swap package. I beat the system by 15 cents. The postman laughed and laughed when I was delighted that my flat rate box worked out to save me 15 cents. Next time Im sending someone something really heavy!

*a fire in the fireplace.

*turning 50 this year!

I'm happy about my leftover lasagna tonight too!

Glad you're happy about 50. I'm only a couple of years from that, and don't feel like that's a bad thing at all.

The socks are beautiful but they probably do need size #2 needles.

Working at the animal shelter would be a problem for me because I would want to bring them ALL home with me.

It's leftover chicken salad night in our house. I'm happy about that too!

You are going to be a gorgeous 50!!

Wonderful list! I'm glad the back pain is easing up. And isn't it freeing when you can frog without anxiety?

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...
