Old Fashioned???

 Are you old Fashioned??  In this amazing age of technology some things need to remain old Fashioned.  I needed a gluten free dairy free recipe for dessert yesterday.  My neighbor Abby is gluten free dairy free, and she was coming for dinner.    I found this REAL SIMPLE recipe for Old Fashioned Peanut Butter cookies.  I had little hope they'd turn out delicious.  Why?  Because; What is cookie without butter?? 

 Fooled me.  They are fantastic.  I even used low fat peanut butter and they are amazing.. Fireman loved them.  I loved them. Abby loved them.  
IF you want the recipe google Realsimple Old Fashioned Peanut Butter cookies......

 I'm old fashioned about a few other things.  I knit my own socks after all.  

 *I prefer a Paper card in the mail  to a e-card, but I'll take what I can get. 

 *I love to listen to the radio......

 *I prefer Sit Coms to Reality Shows

 *I drive stick shift and like it that way

 *I'd pick a campfire over a computer game any night of the week

 *I like my Coke with caffeine and real sugar or corn syrup

 * and lastly,

 I bake my own bread often.....

 Are you old-fashioned about anything??

Yes, I'm old-fashioned because I. . .
• prefer phone calls to text messages
• prefer snail mail over email
• love to play board games
• use hankies instead of tissues
• use cash instead of credit
• have a debit card but don't carry it

I'm totally with you on the paper vs ecards and the Sit Coms vs reality shows! Though I do like a good computer game...

I'm not old fashioned, but I love traditions, I love paper (snail mail, a journal, a date book, etc.), and I must try that recipe. Maybe I'll bake this weekend.

I like old movies and old tv shows. I don't like remakes. If it's not broke, don't fix it.

Wonderful looking cookies!! My Mother was a great letter writer. She corresponded with friends as long as she was with us. I definitely should take the time to be more like her!! It seems we continue so few traditions these days.

LIke Chan I prefer tradition to new and up and coming. I prefer an address book to a computer list, I prefer writing checks to banking on line. I prefer baking to microwaving. I have succumbed to time saving conveniences but I don't love them

I am a mix.

I love to cook & bake stuff from scratch. I knit, but not nearly enough. I do enjoy a phone call to texting but also text and I love cards in the mail, hand delivered or mailed!

I
.text but spell all the words out instead of using the shorthand.
.wear comfortable shoes.
.wear jeans that come up to my waist.
.write thank you notes on paper.

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...
