New Finds

 I think these are better than Haribo. 
Not Zach.  They are so soft. 
Trader Joe gummies...mmmm
and not too bad for me. 
Malcolm Gladwell writes so readably. 
I love this book.  I think being retired has fostered my reading books again. I'm reading more than ever this year. 
I just didn't have the time before and the emotion of reading was too much with the emotion of the NICU. 
This has been a great surprise to me during my first summer of retirement.  

I have a few other new finds to share:

*We found a baby tooth that Fezzik lost this week. 
Do you know that felines have canines? 
It is true. 
Dr. Seuss would have loved that. 

*
I have learned how to have Siri read my text messages to me while I am driving. It is so cool and so safe. 

*
Last but not least, 
I learned how to LOOP while singing last night. 
Well I sang, and Zach looped my voice. 
It was soooooooo fun. 

What's new with you?

I didn't realize cats lost their baby teeth.

This summer has been great for reading: I've finished five books so far and have another started.

New? Hmmm, that would be trying new patterns for quilts and knitting.

Are you going to put the tooth under his sleeping spot? Maybe the toothfairy will leave him a Fezzik puppet. hehe.

I know nothing about baby animals. We didn't really have any of our own growing up for various reasons.

I'm glad you are enjoying and getting a chance to read a lot more. It's right there with knitting in terms of enjoyment and relaxation.

I think I like the idea of gummies more than I actually like gummy candy though those British "Wine gums" are pretty fantastic. But that packaging. Hello put a penguin on it and I'm sold. My son is like Zach a traditionalist and swears by Haribo. Kids! ;)

Fezzik is so cute I'll bet his little teeth are cute too! I love gummies especially penguin gummies. I'm so glad retirement allows you to read and do the things you enjoy!! I'm not allowed to say the "R" word for the rest of this year. In 2016 all bets are off.

Kitty tooth fairies! How cute. I am trying so hard to get back into reading instead of always listening to books while I am busy doing something else but it is so hard to keep my mind on the pages. I think I've developed some kind of hyperactivity disorder since I retired. I can't just do one thing at a time anymore. :(
What's new with me? White sangria, baby! Yummo!!!!

I've only ever found one tooth from our cats, and it was years and years ago. Even when Tux started losing his adult teeth (he's only go one fang left) we never found them... wonder if he ate them?

Not much reading here, but I am going fishing once a week with the Knight. The Knight loves gummies, so I might have to get some of those to try. He hates TJs for some reason...

Love that bush! Is it a hibiscus? New, let's see, our crocosmia just got some new flowers and the deer hasn't found them yet, and even better. We just got new wheels!!!

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...
