Fireman and I are betting they won't do a thing about it until Mothers Day when they may entertain.

Even though his uncle is battling brain cancer, 
he is funny and they are joyful with memories. 
His tumor is currently gone per MRI. 

 Low: Rocky Road low fat dessert. 
Why bother... ugh

High: this is Fezzik's aunt.  I hope he has her eyes and her bone structure! 11 more days until Fezzik comes home!

Low: The cold rainy weather all week has been a bit of a bummer. We are ready for sunny warmth to reappear soon...Please. 
I want to be on my porch. and my bike....

High: Finished those darling mittens. Cast on another pair in a bigger size. 

High: 
Was able to donate blood. Last time my hemoglobin wasn't high enough. 

High: Al finished her family practice clinical assignment. 
On with Women's Health.  

High: Started reading Teresa Caputo's book. 
I find it fascinating and so hopeful. 

High:  Reading YOUR blogs. 
I love to peek into you lives. 

It was a great week. 
C'mon sunshine

That was quite a week. I love it when the news with my "children" is good.

The weather is awful, isn't it? I need to be able to bike!

Oh wow do I understand the low of fence wars! We finally had to build a good sturdy fence, four inches in on our property on both sides. Now the neighbors, who are lovely people and good neighbors in every other way, can let their fences fall to disrepair if they want.

Fezzik's aunt is fuzzy cute!

Great highs, shame about the lows though, I hope that the neighbours fix their fence soon, that is so annoying isn't it. I hope too that your uncle will be well. xx

It's been chilly here and rainy here, too. Your kitty's mama looks like my long ago kitty named Eloise. Speaking of names, what's the history of Fezzik?

Love your post. I'm with your "why bother" for a low-fat Rocky Road. I haven't eaten anything like that for several years, so if I want one, I want the "real" thing!!
Our lives all have their ups and downs - for sure!

As long as the highs are much more than the lows you have had a good week. High I have got a lot done this weekend, low my back hurt today so I could not work out. High I am starting a new crochet sweater, low and high I get to eval preemie twins next week so I will be up to my eyeballs in paperwork, but I get to play with preemies.
Hugs,
Meredith

A fun post - my backyard neighbor's dog liked eating the fence last Fall - thankfully all the gnawed pickets have now been replaced.

The auntie kitty is so darned cute. I'm looking forward to pictures of Fezzik, too.

Low fat foods...often are low in good taste/desirability. May as well go for the good stuff...just in smaller doses. Ha.

Our neighbor put a shed in his front yard corner (many years ago). It is so close to our property line, that it looks like the shed is ours! It isn't bad in the summer when the trees hide it, but in the winter, it looks awful to stare out at a big green (ugly green) shed......
I agree with low fat desserts! LOL! I don't eat dessert often, but when I do - I want the full monty!!

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...
