Ten on Tuesday: Ten Things I Always Bring On Vacaton

By -
Today I'm joining Carole's Ten on Tuesday Prompt: 
1. Steady Shot Camera with Panoramic setting

2. Iphone  (I was the last to join that party)

3. Medications: you'd think I was a pharmacy.
I bring all the what ifs along with me....
but I'm gettting better .....I tell myself
"there's a Walgreens on every corner" 


4. Snacks for the room.  Last trip it was a box of Cliff bars. 
We always eat them up.  We have never come home with leftovers.


5.  Knitting.  Always.  No matter the trip theme 

6. Chargers for 1. and 2. 

7. A watch.  Fireman depends on me to wear a watch. He asks me many times during each trip, What time is it? 
He's usually driving and not able to get at his phone easily for the time feature. 

8. My grandmother's Mass card. It is always in my wallet.

9. Floss, because I'm lost without floss. 

10. Make up....always. 

 I added an eleventh ...its the first comment of the day...my own!

I always have knitting with me most places I go, even when it is just to my parents.
I went on an overseas trip with my father about 8 yrs ago and I brought 5 projects with me. We went by boat as I am unable to fly. I finished all but one project.

I'm a flossing fool so floss would be the first thing on my list! DH jokes that when I go to Church I may forget to take my Bible but I will always have floss in my purse!

I always toy with the idea of leaving my phone at home but it really isn't safe to be without one. I have been called by clients when I was Anywhere USA!

You're funny. That's very much like my list. Only I'd take the vets' numbers, and Sissy's medications are far more important than ours.

I'm a bit crazy with the meds too. I just don't want to feel uncomfortable if I can help it. Floss is a good idea. That and Q-tips should be added to my list as well.

Oh my goodness, my oldest bit his brother on the back when they were little. Oh those were good times.... Love your list, face cream is always on mine, you would think with how much I use I would not have so many wrinkles.
Hugs,

I also always take snacks for the room, I'm just too cheap not too! Just can't do those $2.00 (minimum) soft drinks. Sometimes our snacks take up more room than our luggage!

I just got an iphone last week! I'm actually using it more for photos than my camera! I really do love this phone.

Oops, I forgot to add knitting to my list! I do bring it on trips, but it seems so normal that I forgot to mention it... :)

I also bring snacks, though I usually bring more than we eat, so we bring some home.

Another fun topic/post Kathy! yes on the knitting and the small pharmacy. I've gotten it down to a Gallon Ziplock for road trips, and 2 quart bags for flying. Working on it. YES to the knitting, snacks and iPhone. Personal issue, gotta have chapstick/lip balm. Just gotta ;)

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...
