Saturday Splendor

By -
 *New game.  Zach taught us to play.
Very easy to learn and fun to play.
Do you know this board game?
So you know, the guy on the cover is looking at gem.
The game is about collecting gems and cards and points. 
 As for my knitting this weekend, I won't be working on this. 
Someone at Knit night was crocheting this top. She's been at it for almost a year.  I admire people who can stick with such a long project.
Here at Zippy knits, we have to have near instant gratification.

I think the mitten phase may be over.
Ten pair made.
I found a scarf in a time out, one of the very few projects I saved during the purge, and I'm headed back to it later, today.
There are flowers blooming everywhere in Chicago right now.
Even the parking lots of stores have blossoms and color.
we.live.for. this......

Today,  a graduation party for our dear Emma.
I can't wait to see Donna again and Katie and Emma.
Looks like the weather may cooperate.

We started with Splendor and we'll end with 
splendiforous!

I hope the party was fab, I'm sure it was. My dear DIL decided she was going to help me clean out my closet today - she took everything out and put it on my bed. Now I'm having to deal with a Mt. Everest of clothing decisions. OY! ((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...
