Workend Wrap Up...

St. Vitus, dance.


I've decided to call the end of the week my workends. Time to head to work tonight and put my Nurse hat on. What a week is was at our house:

*Power was out from Tuesday night's storm to Friday afternoon... Yes, I am done feeling Amish.

*Zach was home a few nighs......so great to see him

*I went to Franklin Habit's photography class at Midwest Folk and Fiber yesterday.
He kept my attention for 3 hours. I vow to follow his advice and bring you better
images on the blog.

*Went to Ravinia and heard KD Lang and the Sis Boom Bang with neighbors Thursday night.

*On Thursday I got bit by a cat named BOB, at the shelter. I also cut myself prepping bagels on the same finger as the bite. Why is this relevant?
Well, over at Handeyecrafts.wordpress.com I was honored to be mentioned. K. kindly wrote some
sweet things about me and listed St. Vitus the saint of dancers as the saint she'd pick to protect me.
I investigated this a bit. Seems this Saint protects from lightening strikes, animal bites and oversleeping. Considering the storm, the cat bite and the ever present need to nap...this IS my Saint.....
K. didnt even know about my week when she picked this Saint. Ahhhh Serendipity.

I'll leave you with something Franklin said yesterday, "Your eye is a miracle." I agree

I would love to take a photography class from Franklin. One of my guild members is a professional photographer for the University of South Carolina. Maybe I can talk her into giving us some lessons.

Glad to know you weathered the storm. Even though the power was out most of the week,I guess it's a good thing it didn't happen in the middle of winter.

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 their boy.  Insufficient inf

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 have been knitting, but not making things.  6. MY gardens are growing.  I have 3 main areas I
