Knitting on the Beach

By -


I finally got on a plane and flew to the Florida gulf. It had been 15 years since I last flew. One day last fall, I decided I would make myself fly again to get away from the snowy winter weather. A major accomplishment for me. I had some medicinal assistance, I am not ashamed to say. We flew American and we had no troubles. Flights on time, no weather delays, no baggage problems, and no knitting needles problems.

One our way back, I had Fireman on my left, ( I wont look out the window) and guess who on the right?????
Oh I'll just tell you. It was an American Airlines Captian who made me feel at ease. He reassured me the plane had a great safety record. He helped me and I hope I helped him. He had to take the flight to return to his home because his teenage son was sick and his wife told him to get home. Can you believe my wonderful luck? I had a Captain sitting next to me and Fireman on the other side of me.

I will tell you tomorrw about my FO on vacation.

I have to say, however, to me there is no place like home!

Welcome home! Glad to hear you had a wonderful vacation. I'm so proud of you flying. I can't do it--even with meds! Also, Macy would be mad if I left her home.

Beach knitting is the best. I love that sleepy feeling I get from warm sun and rhythmic knitting.

Sounds like you had a wonderful vacation, even though our weather here on the island, wasn't the greatest. I hope you got to enjoy some sun and a little warmth. :)

 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...
