Happy Easter Happy Passover

Grace sent me this darling Knitted Bunny. He fits right into the arrangement Fireman sent me the day Radar left us. We are still tearing up about Radar, but I am one to focus on all the fun we had with him. Having a little one, Beatles, around certainly helps distract us.

Working this weekend as usual, but I really don't mind the Holiday work. Because my job involves so many tasks and so much caring, working a holiday seems necessary and good work. Most families are very grateful.

My father is having Easter at a local skilled care facility and should be home in a week. Thanks so much for the caring and prayers. My sister came in from Minnesota and took some of the pressure off this week. Thanks Goodness. She is a veterinarian and so supportive of our Radar decision. Great timing for her visit.

I have to praise Debbie from the KnitBin. I ordered those adorable puppy scissors and some yarn this week and they've already arrived. Wonderful customer service. Knitbin.com

I am getting near the end of my keyhole shawl and am ready for a new project.
I have Al's new blanket to start and I haven't' bought the yarn yet. Our LYS Three Bags Full has a big anniversary sale on Wednesday. I may find some yarn there...

The yarn I bought for my next shawl from Knit Bin is : Skacel Sirentta in denim blue. Much bigger gauge for this shawl. More instructions and concentration involved, but nothing very demanding.

HAPPY EASTER WEEKEND!!! May you enjoy all the foods and family Easter brings.
You've all been so wonderfully kind and caring to me as usual, this week. I'm very grateful for each one of you and those who are lurkers.....

My goodness, what an adorable bunny! Every day it will get better - I always remember that the nights were the hardest because that is when Fiona and I would have our knitting time together. She would hear the click of the needles and she would be on my lap in seconds! I stopped knitting after she died and did not pick up my needles again till just this December after adopting our feline sisters Misha and Raina.

God bless you while your work this weekend, caring for others. That is what Easter is all about.

I'm working in the hospital this Easter as well. Fortunately, it's on midnight shift, so I didn't miss anything.

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
