Good Clean Fun

 Sunday was Baby shower day for my niece.  
In the past, I was working on weekends. 
It is so nice to go to a baby shower. 
A friend made the cake.  
It was a yummy as it was pretty. 

On Saturday night we saw Rita Rudner's comedy act. 
She was darling.  She gave a long performance and she never swore or went to raunchy material. 
She made us laugh with ordinary observations. 
My Favorite joke of hers: 
I got my flu shot at Costco.
I had to get 36 of them so I think I'm covered.

There was only enough time to knit one new mitten.
It is an adult sized mitten.
I'm already working on the cuff of the partner. 
The yarn has some alpaca to it. 
Just enough fuzz! 


I'm wrapping up my indoor activities for the spring. 
Soon I'll be on that porch all evening and I don't like to do indoor events during our short summer. 
I don't even like to eat out if I have to eat inside. 
I don't go to movies in the theatre and I don't go to indoor concerts.

I can't wait for the 70s they have promised for this weekend .


I did a post on getting your wools ready for summer storage over at Threebagsfullcorner.blogspot.com ...

Happy MONDAY!  
What are you most looking forward to in the warmer days ahead?

Lovely cake! I am also looking forward to some warmer weather here in Mich. I am looking forward to the beach, cookouts, and outdoor concerts.

Sounds like a good weekend, with "just enough fuzz". I'm glad you're enjoying all the benefits of a bonafide weekend :)

What a wonderful cake! We're at the beach and it's warm and sunny here and we have the door open and I'm listening to the Pacific Ocean roar. We're just relaxing down here as I wore myself out on that trip to New Orleans. LOL! ((hugs)), Teresa :-)

I'm a huge huge huge frosting fan (and luckily married to a man who HATES FROSTING) and that cake looks like nirvana to me.

I'm not looking forward to warmer weather because it will bring out the mosquitos and then I can't go outside anymor. It is perfect here just like it is-a bit on the chilly side with a little breeze to blow the bugs away.

That is a gorgeous cake! And, I really love your mittens. They look so soft and cuddly.

I have always wished we had a screened-in porch. Maybe this is the year to do it. As it is we live on the patio, with the mister spraying during the really hot months. That and grilling are the things I'm looking forward to the most.

That was one fancy cake! I would have had a very hard time cutting into it. Love that mitten and its great color, but hope you don't need it any time soon. It is spring, right?

I'm with you regarding inside vs. outside. Now if it would just stop raining long enough for the cushions to dry out I could get on with it!

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...
