Score...one for me. 
Al sent me this most awesome bag for Mother's day!!!!!

Lynn posts from SIMPLE WOMAN 's Daybook 
prompts and I enjoy her posts ....

So I'm a following your lead Lynn!


*Outside my window-
The lilacs are blooming and my neighbor told me to cut as many as I please!

*I am thinking-
I need to go to bed right now and nap before my shift starts.   

*I am thankful for a Dear friend Donna's surprise phone call this morning. 

*In the kitchen, 
there is a box of ghiradelli brownie mix that will not get baked today as planned.

*I am going-
to bed, oops I already said that.

*I am hearing -
a cardinal singing, a sparrow chirping, and fireman digging in the garden. 

*I am looking forward to -
thunderstorm season. 

Favorite quote of the day: 
Take the best of the best and the hell with the rest. (a vet said this with regards to breeding dogs today)

Your bag is interesting - I like how the grommets are spaced so you can alter how the handle is attached. Very clever design!

I used to do the Simple Woman's Daybook: I wonder why I stopped.

Al chose very well. What a pretty bag. That should hold a lot of knitting projects.

Although I have lived through some terrifying thunderstorms, I do look forward to some gentle rumbles :-)

I love the new bag!! Al, you did good!

I've had my fill of storms after our recent blast of tornadoes. Enough is enough!

There is no such thing as "best of the best" with doggies. They are ALL simply the best!!

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...
