Here's the 411 on 4.11

By -


Dayna is visiting us and looking for a place to live in Chicago.
She is an amazing artist.   She's a young girl with incredible talent. She is AL's Nathan's niece.  Got that? 
I will give you the 4.1.1 on her artwork when she has her shop started up.  
She offered to do my makeup for OUR nieces wedding.
I don't wear much makeup, but I will love her helping me.
My eyes, my best feature, acted up this week. 
I have a huge vessel breakage in my left eye. 
I look….in a word…frightening. 
Should I wear a patch to the wedding?
How fetching….

Al and Zach were together for Siblings Day Yesterday.
Serendipity…… I love it. 
I emailed two of my sisters yesterday.
My youngest sis wrote me back with thanks and told me her youngest came home with head lice…
she is not a happy momma! 
Work pals have told me that around here they don't even keep kids out of school for lice anymore.
ewwwwww. 

Sorry for today's randomness.  

OH: Here's the 411 on 
4/11.

*The yellow yarn atop my post page is one of the yarn prizes for the SPRINGFLINGSTRING contest. 
Two skeins of buttery goodness.

The manatee on my header is from the Keys.
He was so sweet and slow and cute.  

*I don't have much to show knit wise as the wrap is moving along slowly.   Big projects in cream don't lend themselves to exciting posts ;) 
so I leave it to lice and bloody eyes to entertain you. 

*Finally , I have two new apps to share with you if you are so inclined: 
Ziplist's grocery app adds ingredients from recipes you want to try, right to your phone.

and 

Wunderlist app is a to do helper. 
Do you wanderlust?

HAVE A GREAT 411
and share some 411 with us in the comments

Argh! I have to get a string in the mail to you. I'm all over the place my friend! Yes, the lice thing requires constant vigilance in pre school and elementary school. I hope the eye gets better fast, but I think you would look awesome in an eyepatch. ARgggh Matey! ahem, I mean Kathy! I'm glad you have such good people and family.

Oh dear! I hope your eye heals a bit before the wedding!
I remember the whole lice thing with my kids. At least as a teacher, I have not found any critters on myself.

My niece has had to deal with lice after classmates came to school with the visitors. Not my idea of a good time!

Love the yellow yarn in the header.

Take care of your eye and have fun at the wedding.

No patch, everyone will not remember or even notice your eyes after they have had a few drinks at the reception. Have a lovely time at the wedding. And Lice....gross!
Hugs,
Meredith

It's true about the lice because the meds are over the counter. Ringworm, pinkeye and impetigo too. I was all ways infected with something or other when I was teaching.
I hope you had a great weekend wedding. I am so jealous. I LOVE weddings.

The neighbor down the street is having his annual party. Gretchen is NOT amused. Time to turn on the TV and find something to distract her.

I bet your eye isn't as noticeable as you think it is, but I wish you quick healing just the same!

Hope your eye heals up soon. That's a scary thing.

Love the picture of Uncle Tank. He is such a handsome guy.

In my family they call them Jo-jo's. Anyway, remember when they used to check us in class? Do they even do that anymore.

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...
