Staycation

By -
I'm closing in on the Cardi Shrug finish.  I'm ready to be done.  The yarn knit up beautifully, the pattern was very easy and I'll knit another. However, my arm is hurting a bit , so it is time to go back to sock knitting.   Sock knitting never ever hurts my hands or arms.   So a concentrated finish for today is the plan. 

The weekend included a swim in our neighbors pool (delightful)
dinner out with both adult children for the last time in a long while if all plans go as scheduled (delicious )
laundry overload (icky)
great sleeping at normal hours (heavenly)
slowly introducing Helo to the other cats (uneventful!)
unexpected neighbor visits (spontaneous)
and 
gardening (peaceful).


In a word, how was your weekend?

One word? Can't do it. It was storm-filled, peaceful, gift-filled, etc.!

Fun! Had a get-together with former workmates. We made bicycle-blender smoothies! Had fun singing in summer choir yesterday. BTW, I like your new header; it reminds me of one of my long ago favorite books: Misty of Chincoteague.

(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...
