By -
 Yesterday some of  you played, Ten things you love and Ten things you hate.  I'll say ten I love and ten I don't.  

Don't

1.mechanical pencils
2. pop ups
3. weather reports instead of predictions
4.college rah rahs
5. anchovies
6. sport water bottles
7. places that don't take reservations
8. high heels
9. waking up to an alarm 
10. talking on the phone

The list of things I love is much easier for me to make:
I won't include the obvious (yarn!) 

1. wearing cotton
2. our National parks, state parks, county parks
3. bags: purses, knit bags, cosmetic bags
4. going to the beach
5. watching people ride horses when I am in the woods
6. sunhats, baseballcaps, winterhats
7. seeing the sunset
8. emails
9. stick shift cars
10. malts

 How about you?

I hate: headaches, putting away dishes, fleas, mosquitoes, apple butter, apps that discontinue just when you figure out how to use them, temps over 90, alarm clocks, shaving my legs, growing old
I love: gin and tonics, macaroni salad, napping with the pup, the smell of lavender, the MDSW festival, knitting in bed, having the windows open, aprons, Crocs, being retired

I am not loving all the videos you have to watch online just to get the darn news, bad traffic, horrible drivers and of course the alarm that woke me a 5:30 this morning so I could get ready for work. Things I love Yarn, lets just keep it at that.

I would love to have a stick-shift car again. I miss it.

Great lists ---- I totally agree with "talking on the phone". I'd much rather face-to-face talk.

Well, hello there, Kathy B! I'm so glad to come visit all my friends again after being gone a while with the move. We are all moved and half-way settled in. Still a few more boxes to unpack, but we are getting there. Number One on my Don't list is MOVING!!! Never again!

Love your list!! Thanks for sharing. I hate: Television, crazy drivers, snakes, bugs, tax reports, cooking on a hot day, folding clothes, peanut butter and yes, yes, yes, you are so right--talking on the phone.

I love: dinner with family, hugging sweet great-grandbabies, my precious pups, peanut M & M's, chocolate in any form, the moon and Venus together, Ombre Rose perfume, rain storms, tech toys, and books.

One of the things I love but rarely receive anymore is a handwritten letter.

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...
