Since Caroleknits is vacationing I've made up my own 10 on Tuesday today:

*Keep Calm and Take A Nap

*"Creation is a better means of self-expression than possession; it is through creating, not possessing, that life is revealed," - Vida Dutton Scudder

*The smallest Feline is a masterpiece" - Leonardo Da Vinci

*If you're on a plane and get horribly stuck on a pattern, you can always ask the captain to make the announcement, "Is there a knitter on board?
Tracy Ullman

*"Our Lady is not some magical being out there somewhere, like a fairy godmother. She's not the statue in the parlor. She's something inside of you. Do you understand what I am telling you?
"August said, From the Secret Life of Bees

*"So we have to come to understand that happiness is not only in our power to attain, but our DUTY to attain." The Monks of New Skete

*"You can get as much as you want out of knitting." Mel Clark

*The senior cat's favorite pastime is sleep."- unknown

*"Let's play two" Ernie Banks

I especially love asking the pilot to ask if there is a knitter aboard!

My favorite - it's knitting, not world peace, but if enough people knit.....

I love that yarn, and Dr. Thomas Gardner sounds like a very smart man! Thanks for visiting my blog, and following along with the twins. I also work in the NICU (RT), so the possibilities are exceptionally scary!

 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.

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...
