I'm embarrassed to say I know but it is indeed Tim McGraw. I must know because he looks so much like me shirtless. NOT!!!

We are cheering for the Blackhawks too - we recently moved to MA and are actually Rangers fans. So when I asked my son who he was cheering for he replied "The Blackhawks". I then queried "do your friends (rabid Bruins fans) know" - silence. Cracked me up.

What a way to start my morning! Eye candy, indeed. And I LOVE Fireman's comment.

Thanks for the give-away. That would just add ANOTHER REASON to keep reading your blog, along with the thought that maybe we are sisters separated at birth, as shown through our choices of yarn and knitting patterns? Have a wonderful weekend in Chicagoland!

Tim McGraw and Faith Hill live not too far from my parents' place, but I never saw him like this. ;)

Good warm-up for Knitters' Hunk, though.

You have my attention --- you mentioned sock yarn.

I agree with Meredith --- it KIND OF looks like Tim McGraw. But, not exactly.

Hi,
Boston fan here. Hoping you will be up later than 9:30 tonight, but not too much later. We would like to beat you in regular play not overtime. HEHEHE. I have been a lurker for about 3 years since I won a contest from you long time ago. Thanks for running the contest.

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 their boy.  Insufficient inf

 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 have been knitting, but not making things.  6. MY gardens are growing.  I have 3 main areas I
