Love those ice globes! The only ice we've seen here is on rinks that spend millions to keep it frozen. Great list. I have to agree with going veggie, I went from veggie to vegan this year and what a difference giving up dairy made. I fell of the wagon over the holidays but as soon as the last cookie is gone (!) I going back-at least until next Christmas.

So many wonderful bests. My favorite is the basil. I am now growing herbs (basil among them) in our breakfast nook window. They grow so fast that I have to clip them every two or three days.

And Al falling in love--how wonderful is that? Best wishes to Al and Nathan. May love grow strong for them!!

Your ice globes are so cute!!

I like your recap! I wish I could layer my hair. It's so thin, there's just not enough there even when I try to tease it. SIGH!

Isn't it fun to revisit the projects and events of the year. Your list is wonderful.

What fun, Kathy...I just got caught up with your holiday posts and enjoyed each! My youngest daughter has been off night shift for two months now, and is very glad although she misses the wonderful night crew staff she worked with. You have accomplished a lot of knitting this past year! Bravo! You encourage me to complete more projects in 2013 :) Happy New Year!

 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...
