Oops.......I spilled Coke on my computer

So I cannot post an image right now. Oh I do not like picture less posts!

I am knitting with the Lornas Laces shown in the previous post. I am knitting the leg in a mock cable pattern and I WISH I could show you. Hmmmmm, I may have an answer. Stay tuned.

The tree is down already. I am still enjoying carols and lights. I met a dear nurse friend and her daughter for breakfast this morning. Mary moved away years ago but we stay close. I was explaining to them that I tease someone about living in sin, and vacationing in sin.
Mary's daughter Katie, thought Sin was a place. -As in Sin, Illinois. We had to explain the Catholic concept to her, but I thought that was so funny.

I'm tossing around a swap idea. While Take and Replace was really fun this yesr, I want to change it up in 2012. I always keep it economical, anyone interested in cheering up the winter months with a simple swap?????

I'm always up for a swap!! Oh, and keyboards like wine better than coke. I spilled wine on mine and it drank it right up. It didn't say "Thank you Ma'am," but it did continue working so I should be grateful for small victories!

We do have a little town in Michigan with the official name of Hell, unoffical population of 266. Really. Goggle it.

And way way up north on Lake Superior is Paradise Michigan which has super cold winters and about one month of summer.

Not very far from here we have a small town named Climax Michigan. None of us who live around here think twice about it, but visitors who aren't used to hearing the name snicker at it.

Happy 2012 to you Kathy. Thanks for being my iternet friend and faithful cheerer-upper this past year.

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...
