Sends me this delicious yarn for my birthday.
The girl who dyes the yarn has a hubby in the Navy.  
I showed the yarn to Fireman this morning and I was nothing short of squealing...

Fireman said "It's yarn honey" 
"that's all I see"

and to top off the Birthday week:

MY friend Linda's dogs came to my birthday party and Lucy had a little accident.  Linda Sent me this the next day:

Lucy looks appropriately shamed.

The yarn looks lovely! Enjoy it!

I'm not a fan of the pet shaming. Lucy is a lovely dog, I'm sure she tried to tell you she needed out. :) g

It's just yarn?? How can anyone say that about merino and cashmere? It is yummy yarn and a beautiful color too!!

Poor little Lucy! She must be so embarrassed. Tell her for me that we all have accidents. If I had been there I would have spilled something for sure!

Lucky you! (for the yarn) I guess Fireman isn't a knitter, eh?

Oh I love that yarn, of course you are squealing. That picture is a hoot, I bet Auntie Kathy did not mind the accident at all.

Love that yarn! It's gorgeous. As for poor Lucy, I have to laugh. Around here pooping and peeing (and for the cats-puking) in the house is the norm. I could get so much more knitting done if I wasn't always on mess duty.

Oh that's beautiful yarn! (At least he added "honey" to the sentence??)

Poor Lucy. I love that you call it a little accident though. ;)

 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...
