5 Stars *****

By -
 
 My Al arrived many hours late and not one bit less darling. 
Suffice to say It's a 5 Star Weekend for me  when we are all home together.  
Ina Garten's Butterflied Grilled Chicken was outstanding.
5 Stars and I will make it for special occasions again without a doubt.  I used a 4 and a half pound Capon from the Poultry  store in town.  They bone the whole roaster and it is cooks nice and evenly on the grill butterflied out.  
 Pie and Rozzy got some chicken bits too for a treat. 
 I don't like chopping broccoli so I gave each of us a bundle on our plates.  I cooked them that way Too.  

I just heard my neighbor give out a scream and I can bet you he got skunked.  The skunks around our area seem to have had a prolific summer.   Everyone walks with flashlights at night to stay alert.  

The trouble with monogamous knitting is that I fear you get bored with my start to finish projects.  Sorry! 

I will certainly finish the baby blanket tonight or tomorrow.  It cooled off finally and its perfect for blanket knitting. I'm holding off on a new knitup until the swaps get back to me.  I'm sure I will be inspired by something in those envelopes  
  
There is a campfire in our weekend plans too.  
It seems like a long long time ago when the weekend was the workend.  I am still so grateful to be off on weekends. 
What do you have planned?

Your chicken sounds wonderfully yummy and I love broccoli served that way!

So glad Al got home safely. I know your weekend will be super special. I have a new book waiting and I am being called to by some unfinished socks in the stash cabinet. DH will be taking advantage of the new cooler weather on the golf course so I can knit and read and relax. Great weekends all around!

Glad you are enjoying Al's visit!

This weekend looks to be beautiful weather. Wish I was going out-n-about, but will probably be home. I'll catch a little football this weekend, the home team here, and the Broncos on Sunday.

It's going to rain tomorrow. The walk is in jeopardy. We'll have a good one tonight just in case.

The girls have made their last-ever trip to work. Cry. End of an era.

Mmmm....you've made me hungry!

This weekend I am looking forward to planting myself in front of the TV with lots of knitting because it's supposed to rain. It better rain. I need a day to do nothing.
Have a great weekend with the family!

Your chicken looks DELICIOUS and I'm glad the kitties got a little treat too.

Up for us this weekend? College football. Steve and I are going to the Stetson game with friends. Then on Sunday --- knit, knit and MORE knit.

WOW, that looks like super tasty chicken! And I have begun to agree with you on cutting broccoli. I guess enough people feel this way that the grocery stores can get away with selling pre-chopped veg these days.

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...
