J-ays are my favorite potato chips of all time

K-aloric intake exceeded output over the holidays

Cute meme ---- but, I think I like metal needles over bamboo.

Never had walnut oil, but I sure do like walnuts.

I'm surprised you came up with an alphabet full of things! You started a hat because your blanket is big, heavy and boring at this point and you wanted to feel like you finished something.

And I'm sure you've shown finished hats this year. I don't have a single finished knit yet this year and it's February!!! g

I don't know anything about apps but I do know a thing or two about tea cakes and I just made a delicious one substituting honey for the molasses and omitting the spices in a gingerbread recipe. Sprinkle sliced almonds on top before baking and you will have a hard time not eating the whole thing-especially if you serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side.

I'm still using a dumb phone (and I love it) so no app recommendations from me. I DO have a yummy tea cake recipe. I'll have to go hunt it up, and then I will post it to my blog. Of course, everyone has their own idea about what a tea cake should be like. I like mine soft and chewy. And now you have flung a craving on me for TEA CAKES! Reach for the carrot sticks... reach for the carrot sticks... I'm still craving and it is all YOUR fault! HAHA! Cute ABC game, btw.

Fun post!! My favorite app is the Nag Alarm. It will set up to 5 alarms and bug the daylights out of you until you complete the task for which the alarm was set. It is a badly needed part of my life. LOL!

M & M's are only addictive to me if they have peanuts in them.

Can't wait to see Sideways Hat.

Love the ABC idea. My A is for App today would have to be Overdrive Media Console, allowing me to listen to books while doing something, anything else. Thanks for the comment.

You never fail to make me smile.

I love dark chocolate M&Ms. I have the mint M&Ms in the freezer.

I'm glad you're knitting because I don't have time or energy.

Kindle is my favorite app. I'm never bookless!

Can you believe I've never made tea cakes? Do tell if you get a good recipe.

I love the alphabet soup idea! Very cute.

I have just recently discovered the "PhotoMarkr" app. It does watermarks on your photos for posting online. Seems to work really well.

We need tea cakes - in fact, we need tea breaks - here in the US. I'd like to try any (good) recipes you find as well.

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...
