Keep Those Little Strands of Yarn Coming!

By -
 I've got a little pile going of your  strands and notes-
Such fun for me. 
You have until the mail arrives on 4/30 to join in the fun. 
Just send one strand of yarn about a foot long and you are in the raffle for 3 prizes. :) 

Speaking of paper: 
Al loved stuffed animals as a child.
Here are two she snatched up for a photo at the Paper Source in Evanston last week.  
That is a very cool store.  (More than just cards and stationery.)
They have a whole wall of ink stamps, one cooler than the next.
Do you have a Paper Source in your area? 

 Al's on a kickball team in Virgina. Their name:
Kicking Ours to Save Yours
ahhhh those ER folk are a breed apart

We had a wonderful paper store about a mile from my house. I shopped there for 10 years and one day I went there and it was closed. Gone. I was so disappointed, and I've never found another. Staples just isn't the same!

I love the name of Al's team. Yes, ER people are a special breed!!

Awwwwwwwwwwwww, Al found the "squishies"!

I don't think we have Paper Source here. As a matter of fact, most of the "stamps" stores have closed up. I would have to make do with JoAnns, Michaels, or Hobby Lobby. :-(

Your Al is sure a cutie! Staples is our only paper source, but there is a stamp store not too far away that has interesting choices. I just don't get that way often.

Daughter and I LOVE Paper Source. I spent big, big bucks there during her engagement and wedding days. They did her invitations and they were gorgeous. They also have the best candy around. I always come home with a bag full of hard to find goodies.

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...
