Gone like a frieght train, gone like yesterday....

Today was the day the kitties went back to the shelter to get adopted. Someone is going to be oh so lucky to have those two darlings. I loved being a foster cat mom. Even Fireman ended up enjoying the role of foster. There is a whole lot of extra loving on Rosalyn and Radar today!
So the kittens are gone....

My pedometer was almost gone too. I think it falls off too often. I recall this issue with my other pedometers. Yesterday's number was 6891. I think I am taking more steps than that, but I never set the stride thingy ma bob. Oh well. All that matters is that my numbers are going up.
Taking it in stride...thanks for all the shoe thoughts. I appreciate them.

I am settled on Haven yarn for a shawl. I had knit up some of the Batkus pattern and didn't like it. So I have settled for my own very easy pattern. I am mostly garter stitching the shawl. Every whenever I feel like it, I throw in a row of Knit 2 togethers followed by a Yarn over.
I promise an image, but It is too small to show even now!

I am waiting for Grey's Anatomy tonight. Meredith and McDreamy and a baby????? Awwwww.
I am waiting for the sun to come back out before I walk today.......
I am waiting for a package for Fireman's birthday gift......it better show up.
I am waiting for the Kentucky Derby....

What are you waiting for today?





I WOULD LOVE YOU TO LEAVE A COMMENT>

I so admire you - it takes a special kind of love to foster those wonderful kitties and then let them go off to their forever homes. I know their new owners will be just as grateful to you as I am to the wonderful woman who fostered K.C. (and truly saved her life) so she could come home with me!!

I admire you too. Fostering is tough.

Oh - and I solved my pedometer problems. I have an iPhone app that works with it dropped in any pocket. It isn't perfectly calibrated, but it's close enough for me.

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...
