Friday FrightfulFun

 PHOTO: Neighbor's spooky lawn fun.
Note to self: learn how to use Fuji camera in night light
 Halloween chips....
note to self they are just plain fun
Sloppy Joes vegetarian style.  
Note to you: I am in no way trying to make you a vegetarian. 
Odds are I'll quit in the future. I just got frightfully spooked when my cholesterol levels went up.   

 I kept reading about SLoppy Joes, which I LOVE, made with lentils.  I happened to have some lentils and some soy pretend ground beef in my house.  I use my mother in laws own sloppy joe recipe, which is super secret and awesome, when I make this meal. 
The Sloppies were sloppy and just as good as with beef. SCORE!  

 I made a bunch of mistakes on the easy as can be third potato chip shawl in the last 2 days.   
Note to self: pay SOME attention to your knitting....
if it weren't for the errors I'd be finished with my 3rd by now.

 Note to self: Bookmark knitting for little gifts must begin when shawl number 3 is finished.  :) 

 ANy notes to yourself lately?

There's nothing wrong with talking about your vegetarian meals. I don't feel pressured. I think it's a great idea.

Note to self: Open house condo Sunday, 12:30 to 2:30.

It's going to be a busy busy weekend. Will I have enough energy left to go? Will I lose the note before then?

No worries abt the veggie talk. I'll just eat a steak once I'm done reading!!!!! LOL Good for you for eating healthy! And I see it beign much better than a vegan. I havent met a vegan that looks healthy.....

And we've got some neighbors decorating their house for halloween too. I've noticed it getting more and more popular to decorate the outside as much as you do for christmas.

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...
