Happy New Years Eve 2010!

By -


We are having a little NY eve party tonight with our dear neighbors. I put in the email : Knitting is not mandatory, but strongly suggested. (No real need for that message, Abby and I love to knit together and yak)

Speaking of Yak, here are some resolutions I am just considering:

*Knit with Yak (not likely)

*Knit with reverse shaping ( I know this has been my resolution for years.... but Grace is onboard as is Karen as my enablers......maybe this year!!!)

*Entertain more. (likely before new kitchen phase ends)

*Take much better blog pictures. (I long to wow you ........)

*Foster pregnant cats (depends on how Fiona is doing this year)

*Try to like the city (I get so nervous just being there and both my kids live there and love it)

*Get on a plane like last year! (perhaps my pilot from last year will sit with me again?????)

*Meet Katherine or Grace or any of you dear pretend friends.

*Keep pretty soaps in the bathroom all year

*Keep the house a little cleaner (ahem...this one is very unlikely! unless I do entertain more)

*Start swimming again

hmmmmmm will I do any or all?????


I talk more in the comments!

I'm all for the "meet Katherine and Grace" resolution! We will be in the Chicago area again this June for another grand child's wedding and would love to meet up with you Kathy, and any of our blog buddies.

If you get any better at the picture taking you will blow us all away! Your pictures are some of the best I see on blogs!!

Hi Kathy, if you do the swim thing let me know, it would be good exercise for me too! I know you will conquer reverse shaping this year! Karen

Happy 2011. I love the idea of fostering pregnant cats... not that I could. It's just a very sweet, consciencious thought!

I am with your kids, I love cities. How about finding just one thing to like.

I am really fond of ethnic foods, and can't wait to try Indian or Thai or something else fun when I get to a new city (or a familiar one). Milwaukee had Turkish food, something I have not seen anywhere in my own state.

I also love art museums, they fill my heart with joy, love, and hope. When I travel I try to find at least one museum, for at least one hour.

Some cities have wonderful parks or botanical gardens' or greenhouses. Some have colleges with interesting buildings and grounds. Some have fascinating geographic features: Montreal's mountain, Chicago's shoreline as examples.

In Cincinatti they have Chili, in New Orleans Beignets, in Cleveland there is Jeni's Ice Cream, Ann Arbor Zingerman's deli. You can find local wonderful non-ethnic foods like this as well.

One thing. I won't ask you to make it skyscrapers or subways. Those are on my top five fave things about cities, but I know I'm in a minority there.

Hugs, and happy whatever it becomes.

 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...
