There's Good News and There's Bad News

By -


The bad news is that Al got a library notice: the good news is she had to come over when she stopped at the library to pay her fine. (did I do good Donna B? The light was great that day)

The bad news is that the leaf bookmark isn't sewn up right; the good news is it was so easy and fast furious and fun to knit.

The bad news is I'm having a gum graft tomorrow; the good news is I have to have milkshakes.

The bad news is that today is the day we lost Huck 2 years ago; the good news is that we are adopting little Beatles today for however he long he shall live.

The bad news is the sun is setting sooner each evening; the good news is I adore all things autumn.

The bad news is my father's dear friend is in a nursing home now; the good news is he wanted ME to have all his old fishing tackle.....isnt' that sweet?

The little leaf is ADORABLE!

Good luck with your gum graft. Enjoy those milk shakes ... I'd go with the PEACH one first. ;-)

A whole lot of good and some not so good. Sorry to hear about the gum graft. I will be sending out prayers for your quick healing! The bookmark is so cute and such a good gift.

Ups and downs--that's life. Sometimes I just hope for life to not be quite so lively.

It's all good depending on how you look at it.

Al's haircut looks great.

I love Al's hair style. And that's too bad about the gum graft. It even sounds horrible. But, milkshakes? Oh, my...what's your favorite flavor, Kathyb?

Thinking of you, and hoping you're on the mend. Love that bookmark!

When you have to have something as serious sounding as a gum graft, the milk shakes are calorie free. Right?

You've got to have one to appreciate the other. Kiss your meows for the Ees.

 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...
