Long Awaited Visitors

By -
 It is a week of friends coming back to Chicago.
It makes for a wonderful week.
Yesterday Knit pal, Kathy C. otherwise known as KFC,
came to knit group.  Kath moved back to Atlanta after over 25 years in Chicago.  Her brother tragically died in a house fire last year and the pull to live back home was stronger than ever. 
We miss her but she's the same wonderful Kath.
She knit a top that does not fit her and gave it to me. 
What?  That's just bigger and better than the Stanley Cup to me!

Meg is knitting a ruffled skirt and it will be fantastic.  Karen is knitting the blue shawl in the top photo and it is called Positive Thoughts. 

Today, Baby sister Patti Ann is visiting us from Arizona.
We love her and her four girls.  Two of the girls are with her. 
The Hello Kitty cookie is for her youngest, Maria.
They are all animal lovers and I know the cats will love them..
They are in town to love and hug and kiss my sweet mom.
My mom adored them all.  I know she will recognize their 
tone and their souls at their visit. 
My doctor who specializes in geriatric psych says the last thing to go with Alzheimers is the recognition of family. 

Summer is for Chicagoans to return home!

It is so nice when people come back, isnt it? Madison is off the beaten track so it doesn't happen as often as I'd like. Sweet cookie -- pun intended!

I hope your mom recognizes them. It broke my heart when my mom forgot who I was a long time before she passed away. ((hugs)), Teresa

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...
