Crazy cat ladies create Crazy Cat Christmas cookies. 
Now, I'm finished with cookies for the Holidays. 

Still working on the last gift knit for this year, 
a simple scarf.  

Here's a little story for you: 
On Saturday I stopped at McDonalds' before going to work.
Apparently my car went ahead of another in the pick up line and the woman in that car was furious.
She was hitting her steering wheel and
pointing her Grinchy finger at me. 
So I decided to tell the cashier I'd pay for her lunch as well as mine. 
That'll teach her.  
Wishing you the patience of the Holidays
and some quiet to recharge!

There definitely has been a lack of patience on the roads this month!
The cat cookies are adorable!

Mmmmm.....kitty cookies! You are a saint to pay for that ladies lunch. I bet she felt like an idiot when she found out what you did after she acted like such a fool.

Oh Kathy I love you!! DH and I agree that your response to the grinch was priceless. We have had a turn of events that has made us stop and rethink all the hustle and bustle of our Christmas plans. Christmas has been "called" at our house and replaced with an effort to stay peaceful. Let it be so for us all!

You are a better person than most! I just wish I could have see the reaction on her face. I hope the rest of her day followed a different path than she started out on. Hopefully she 'paid it forward'.

Those cookies are so cute, Kathy! I love how you killed that irritable lady with kindness. I sincerely hope, the lesson is not lost on her.

Must be the season for cranky folk. Glad you could face it with grace and kindness.

Hopefully she's feeling pretty foolish right about now.

What a lovely way to teach her the spirit of the season. You are wonderful and so are your cookies.
Hugs,

Oh my, wouldn't you have loved to watch the woman's jaw drop when she heard you paid for her order. . .I love it!

Cute, cute, cat cookies. I need to make some sugar cookies, but I'll just end up eating them. Sigh!

I say, "Good for you." What a loving response, so appropriate for the season...and let's hope the cranky gal gets a grip. You never know how far-reaching a little kindness goes.

I think you had a nicer reaction than me. I might have given her a finger right back.

Love those cookies. That's the second drive-thru pay it forward in a fire service family I've heard in as many days! My Deputy Chief-friend-former co-worker was shocked when, after waving at one of his employee's wives, the cashier said his meal was "covered."

I need to practice kindness more often.

 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...
