Thoughts for today.....

*Sunset on Tuesday 3.1.11
*Poster I Love: This house runs on love, laughter and strong coffee
*I am knitting the Really Simple Shawlette with the swap sock yarn I posted
and said I would make socks out of.....ahhhh perogative...
*I hate Lent but I love Fat Tuesday
*I am also knitting my Mirror Mirror vest. I have the back and a good
portion of the front done as well......
*I also have a tie for Zach on the needles. I am knitting it out of the
sock yarn that Marguerite put in Take and Replace
*I read this quote last weekend and loved it : God is in the reality of our
lives, not the fantasy of our lives.

Have you read a new quote that rang true with you lately?


I WOULD LOVE YOU TO LEAVE A COMMENT>

Beautiful photo. I still have to figure out what I'm going to do about Lent. The last two years, instead of giving something up, I've added a daily Lenten devotional.

I don't know who said it but one of my favorite quotes is, "Keep trying and you might stumble on success."

Glad you let the sock yarn tell you what it wanted to be!

what and where did the Frogging item come from I LOVE IT, the other day there was a great DR> Suess quote I need to go back and find it, and come back and share it with you!!

In my old town I went to daily mass every weekday during Lent, but I haven't felt the love at the church here yet and its too far to drive back to the old one!

"I have heard there are troubles of more than one kind. Some come from ahead and some come from behind. But I've bought a big bat. I'm all ready you see. Now my troubles are going to have troubles with me!"

We have a sign in our kitchen: "Blessed are they who can laugh at themselves, for they shall never cease to be amused".

THe Dr. Suess quote is just wonderful! The froggin bag came directly from marguerite who also knit the socks for me. She was the last stop before me and she took it to heart for sure!

 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...
