When You're 53

By -
 *You spend your birthday soaking up all the good wishes whether by email, text, facebook, or old fashioned cards and calls.  

*You let them sing to you and you let them say things like, "No doing the dishes, it's YOUR birthday"

*You give in and have that fountain coke.
OH yes I did..
*You blow out THE candle because there is only one in order not to make a scene..Your Knit buddies make sure you know you are loved.  
*You get adorable salt and pepper shakers in the forms of yarn and black kittens. 

*Family members who make a habit of lurking, leave you comments!

Fireman makes dinner for some friends and me.
He makes amazing shrimp marinated in 
STONEWALL KITCHEN's
Garlic rosemary citrus sauce.

*You love the whole darn day and you even get to knit a bit on your easy peasy shawl
in Channon's gift yarn. 

*Pretend friend Kim sends you a message that cookies are on the way...so you know you can extend the celebration all week and look forward to their arrival. 

*Your adorable high school and college aged nieces text you with loving wishes.  
You miss them in a good way

*Your Daughter hints at a yarn gift on its way ....

and you go to bed feeling like the luckiest 
53 year old girl in the world.

Sounds like it was a wonderful day.
I have a significant one coming up in a few weeks too.
I have been asked how I want to spend it. I might take a few ideas from you

Happy Belated Birthday!

Have you fallen off of the "no soda" wagon or was this a one-time treat?

 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...
