Lots of Knitting, No Pictures of It Yet

By -
 This was the note on the sidewalk the morning Al and Nathan arrived home for Christmas.   Aren't I funny?  
 Al and Tank reunited.   Let's be clear, Al had this haircut way before that girl everyone says she looks like did...
Ann somebody or other...

My kids got their 
love of boots from me.  Santa brought Al the Minnetonka's she'd been wanting for a long time.
Zach bought his boots in Mexico...and I would steal them if only they would fit me.....


Log Cabin Blanket is coming along nicely now. 
I'm at peace with the pattern. 
I am off until Monday. 
LIFE IS GOOD!

now any suggestions for celebrating my first weekend off ????

I love boots too! I'd take either pair...

Ann Hathaway? Currently getting press for her Les Mis role?

Love the new header pic. The boots are fabulous - I've turned into a boot lover this winter too.

I don't know who your beautiful daughter looks like. And for the weekend - how about staying in jams all day and relaxing - baking, reading, knitting, doing nothing. g

The photo of Al (love her haircut) and Tank is precious.

Put something in the crockpot for dinner, grab your knitting, pop in a movie and enjoy your weekend.

I love the Minnetonkas and Al's haircut. We can all give testimony to the fact that Al had it first. Also, I've had the haircut for the last 6 years but it looks way better on Al than it does on me!!

PJ's all day is a must as well as something that has lots of onions in it simmering in the crock pot. And don't forget the mandatory nap so you can stay up late watching movies and knitting.

Best weekend activity: enjoy not commuting! Is that just me...? :(

I would read and nap!

It is so sinful, but I always celebrate with PIZZA... loaded with absolutely everything they can put on it.

And of course some intense knitting time is called for!

Yes, I'd say she looks a lot like Ann Hathaway. Great haircut; beautiful girl. And the cat, very good looking too!!

Nice boots! I'm sure wearing mine (out of necessity), and a good boot is wonderful to wear!

Enjoy the weekend!

Zach's boots are very cool!

Al's haircut is beautiful! I love the color of her hair.

Weekend Activities: Coffee, tea, knitting by the fireside, favorite music/videos, dashing out for a breath of fresh air, soup simmering on the stove, worthwhile reading, some fellowship with faithful family members and friends, meditating on what matters in life, celebrating goodness, appreciating beauty, praising praiseworthiness, tidy something that is awry, laugh at the ridiculous, pray for your enemies, enjoy warm showers and clean clothes, rest, enjoy candlelight, pet pets...ahhhhh the choices :)

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...
