Something Old Something New Something Borrowed Something Blue

You would think there was a wedding going on here, but no.  
Something old is : the orange ribbed scarf I'm nearly finished knitting! 
 Something new is : Homemade Gazpacho.  I tried a very easy recipe I found online using tomato juice and it was delicious.   Fireman had to add chunks of avocado to his bowl.  I love gazpacho on a hot summer day.  We are having lots of great hot summer days.

Something borrowed: the book Im reading,  CATS by Doris Lessing. What a wonderfully written book.
Something blue: My Cardi Shrug is started in that awesome Mad Tosh.  It is fun and easy.

Wishing you a good book, a good old knit, a good new knit and some good gazpacho.  Happy Saturday.  Its the workend for me!  See you Monday or Tuesday.   Happy Father's Day weekend to all the blog lurking fathers out there!  You rock.

I must hear more about the gaspacho and avocado, and about that cardi! That's just soothing. I love the color.

I love Gazpacho. I'll look for that recipe. The shrug is coming along. I can see the sleeve increases. It's going to be beautiful!!

Happy Father's Day to Fireman!

Gazpacho ... never had it. It seems a little too hot for me on a hot summer day..... when it is hot I like salads and fruit and lots and lots of cold drinks (NOT soda!)

The shrug looks great!

Mmmmm...gazpacho. My favorite! I make it, too. I have to wait for the local fresh tomatoes to come in, though. My recipe calls for fresh and tomato juice. And about 8 other veggies. I love the idea of putting avocado on top!
The cardi is a lovely color. Looks like a fun knit.

I love the theme of this post, very creative!

The gazpacho looks delicious! I just made ceviche for Jazzman and it was a wonderful, filling, cool meal for a hot day.

Stay cool while you're knitting!

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...
