Happy Valentines Day!

Happy Valentines Day. I love this Less than 3 Bag by erin knits. I must go over and buy the pattern. She promises it is easy with no sewing. My kind of pattern!

Here are some good thoughts for all of you on this day of love:

Studies we want to put stock in:

Coffee: Research say coffee provides more antioxidants that any other food or beverage in
the American diet. Studies suggest it can lower the risk for type 2 diabetes, dementia, heart
disease and prostate cancer. I'm drinking Caribou daybreak right now ......

Chocolate: Studies show eating chocolate, primarily dark chocolate, aids digestion after a meal.
It is a potent antioxidant. I love non nonpareils.

Red Wine: darn....I prefer white. But reds in moderation can reduce cholesterol, forming blood clots and the risk of kidney stones. I do like a nice Beaujolais.

Tea: reduces risk of heart disease, help maintain blood glucose levels and improves insulin sensitivity. I like Passion Tea over ice, from Starbucks.

Cinnamon: may help prevent and treat diabetes. I love snickerdoodle cookies....and toast with cinnamon.

(the above info was taken from Clubhouse Uncorked, wine magazine jan/feb issue

A great valentines night idea: WESTMINSTER starts tonight!!! Love me love my dog/cat

I am red for Valentines day. Awoke to the hives still raging...
Fireman got a new leather cell phone cover (on clearance from Pottery Barn... ten dollars, now I see it is only 5 dollars with free shipping!) and some chocolate covered toffee pecans....

Did you get a Valentine??? Did you give one?

I'm allergic to the tannins in red wine, but otherwise, great list!

Wow am I healthy!!
I am drinking dark breakfast blend coffee right now. (Didn't need the caramel macchiato creamer though). I don't drink anything but red wine and I have cinnamon toast every morning for breakfast. AND if the amount of chocolate I eat is a gauge for how healthy I am, I will live to be 130 at least.

I love the red heart bag!

I'm a chocolate, cinnamon and tea girl myself--no coffee, and wine would HAVE to be white!

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...
