Lion link

I am so happy to have the macbook back and running. I was edgy crabby unsure why for the last few days.... I gave it considerable thought, even got on the bike to workout... Started reading Martha's Beck's Joy Diet Book, took a long nap but to no avail and then POOF, as soon as we had the macbook running again and I could Post, I felt this ....relief... this connection to you guys. To your posts and mine. All is right with my world. The image.....well The Lion was magnificent at Lincoln Park Zoo on Tuesday. Why it took us over 2 years to get to the zoo which is a mile from Zach's University...I"ll never know. As cat crazy as I am and will admit unabashadly, I love the BIG CATS at the zoo. They are so much like our housecats to me. On that note, Lionbrand has a winner of a pattern that I am going to try. The Tweed Stripes Marble Cowl. It is a winner because someone finally designed a cowl that hugs your neck. Most cowls are lovely, but leave me cold.... Seems it is only a matter of working some ribbing for 1 1/2 inches and then changing to st st for 11 inches. It sounds easy too, and I'm all about easy successful knits. I am knitter hear me ROAR (I have not mastered the punctuation and paragraphs in the new BLOGGER format. Very sorry If this all comes out as one paragraph....anyone else having this issue?)

Nive lion photo! What version of blogger are you trying? I was using a new one recently that made me crazy. Posting photos was really difficult. As soon as the ? do you want to switch back appeared, I did, but even what came back was quite a bit different. Crazy, eh? Hope you're feeling lots better now!

I'm a Leo, so I love lions. They are amazing creatures.

Sometimes, I have difficulty with paragraphs on blogger, too. I switched back to the original format, and things are better.

Glad to hear that your world is back on an even keel.

I understand how you feel about your Mac problems. We were without the DSL for two days last week. It was horrible!

The lion is beautiful but my favorite zoo animal is the polar bear.

I haven't had a problem with blogger but I write in Word then copy and paste. It has been working so far but having said that it will all fall apart the next time I post!

Lions are my absolute favorite. I collect them in all forms. And THAT is a magnificent picture.

I love those lazy lions at the Lincoln Park Zoo! They might be my favorite part, or maybe that's the primate house...

Blogger and I do nothing but fight. Of course, Wordpress isn't on its best behavior right now either... Time to threaten with Typepad again.

SHEESH! I understand your frustration with Blogger. I gave up on it about a year ago and use Windows Live Writer, a free program that is so much easier to use for posting. Of course, that probably won't do for a Mac.

The nearly Thousandth post Contest

(just another baby legging in the image. Using my socks yarns a little differently) I think that blogger may not have correctly counted all the posts I've written. I've been posting since 2004 so I guess it is possible. I'm not going to go back and count them all. It says this is post 987. So we'll go with it. Im having a little contest for the milestone, but I have had writer's block since I decided on the 1000th post contest. So to take the pressure off, we are just going to do this now. :) I get crazy with pressure around events of all kinds. I just do. To enter: Please please please only leave a comment about this post on this post. Im much too flakey to search around differnt posts, afterall there are nearly a thousand (did I mention that number already? sorry....) Leave a comment telling me anything about Lace. If you dn't know anything about Lace, ask someone and share their knowledge. Do tell us who gave you this lace advice, to make it f...

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...
