It's All GOOD.

 Still plugging away at the baby blanket.  It is for, friend, Stephanie who is having her first baby.   I'm on my 3rd skein of yarn.  I have to take out one of my children's blankets and lay it next to it for size...
Tomorrow my Trauma Princess comes home!!

She texted me this image early this a.m. She and I are NOT day shift people.  She says' TRAUMA at 0700 is not my thing.' 
Trauma is never my thing. She gets this from her daddy-0.
She looks so young to have such responsibility on her shoulders.  Who says kids today are not amazing?
Not me.

Great looking cable baby blanket. That's so cool!

Kudoos to anyone who gets up early to deal with trauma victims. Oh my gosh! Bless them all. Yes, young folks like her give me faith that the younger generation has some very capable, reliable, industrious, creative, resilient individuals! WE need them!!

Love the photo of your Trauma Princess. I was always glad for folks who loved the late shifts... I, on the other hand, loved the 0700 rush. ;) I know you will enjoy having your princess home! The blanket is beautiful and I know your friend, Stephanie will treasure it. blessings ~ tanna

Nope, I would never say that!! I look at my ER nurse and your Trauma Princess and KNOW that they are, as my mom used to say, "a different breed of cat."

I love the blanket and wish we could see a picture of the baby wrapped in it!

I am trying to make a baby blanket too.
My doctor is having a baby and I want to get it done before she is on leave.
I give you both credit for doing ER or nursing work. My mother keeps telling me I should have gone into it.
one of my sisters is a nurse (so she followed in my mother's footsteps). This sister is also at the moment expecting baby #5.

Won't it be wonderful having your girl home for a little while.

Thank goodness for all you TRAUMA people no matter what time of day or what day of the year. You are angels in scrubs.

The blanket looks great! Having to do anything at 0700 is A LOT LESS GREAT.

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...
