Thankful Thursday......

By -
 I'll steal a theme from Channon this morning.  We'll call it Thankful Thursday, okay? 

 Thankful for all your well wishes....keep them coming please.   Thankful for Katherine's tip on the Salon Pas patches...they are so comforting. 
 Thankful for Fireman taking good care of me.  He served dessert last night ......this is the Crockpot cake with a scoop of ice cream.

I like the two vest patterns that I' ve posted today.  The top is Interweave's pattern the bottom is YarnBarn's.   I saw a long down vest the other day in the hospital gift shop.   I have short vests that I wear on mild winterdays, but I've never seen a long one.  I loved it.   I think it had a hood too.   Have you seen a coat/vest in down lately?  Aren't they cute?

Sorry I missed the part about your back, hope you are feeling a lot less pain. I am a huge Tiger Balm fan, I prefer it to all other patches and ointments, and a nice heating pad, but not both at the same time.
Feel better,
Meredith

I have a couple of vests that I wear and love, none knitted though. I especially love the pink down vest. So cute!!

So glad the Salon Pas helped. Some days I call Salon Pas days because I couldn't get through without them. Feel better!!

 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...
