The nearly miraculous matching gift socks and a great coffee cake

By -



I'm copying Grace in her modified 10 on Tuesday from Carole's blog. Here are ten of my favorite gifts this Christmas!

*the ipod shuffle I am learning to use. A whole new world as Aladdin would say

*New MUDD slippers that are actually booties

*Thyme hand lotion in Kimono Rose.......this is a nurse testimony! Trust me. :)

*homemade cookies from my neighbors 2 doors down

*a goofy little house that lights up in different windows as it plays holiday tunes

*New sweater from Territory Ahead....soft as buttah

*Minneonka driving shoes

*a little necklace from AL

*a little gadget from my dad, who still worries about his daughters, that you put on your keychain and it hides
a 20 dollar bill for emergencies

*new set of ceramic measuring spoons that match the kitchen


I talk more in the comments!

Love the gift from your dad. I still keep a $20 hidden... well, never mind where. My senior sis in college threw a tantrum on my first college date when she asked if I had mad money and I looked blank...

Mad. Money. Money to catch a cab home with the date goes wrong. Country Mouse knew nothing of cabs, much less mad money. I never leave home without it. Thanks, Tashaboo!

Dads never stop worrying about their little girls! Mine always made certain that I had "mad money" and I even used it a couple of times (no cell phones then. You had to call someone or catch a cab if things didn't go as expected).

Love your 10 things for Christmas. Haul!

Isn't that coffee cake awesome? It's one of our traditions to have it on Christmas morning!
Happy New Year!

GREAT gifts would love to know more about the lotion I have the dryest skin ever.

I will email you later, do you have a vest pattern in particular that you need reverse instructions for? Or general

The helicopter was not an AIR hog, but some in expensive brand, and I have lots of sock yarn, but would like a recommendation for a slightly heavier one for the first pattern!!

 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...
