The Rest of the Story

By -

 So on Friday I paid a special visit to longtime blog pal Lynn.
She lives 20 minutes from me and she adopted two of my kitten fosters 2 years ago.  It was wonderful to see how they have grown.  It was even more wonderful to see that they are in the best possible home you could ask for. 
Lynn lost her torti Nicole this year and wanted to adopt another torti.  She went through Heartland, again and adopted this beauty: Kady Sue. 
Kittens, Pure JOY!
 Someone got smart at a family gathering yesterday.
BY leaving these candles in the fire pit no one had to babysit a true wood fire. 
Heather is smart like that.  She married my nephew Ryan and I adore her. 
This is the sweater Al is knitting. 
Quince and Co pattern Immie. 
Adorable eh? 

Happy Sunday. 
I found I can leave comments if I use another browser so Look for me in your comments.

I keep Halloween colored strands of lights in my fireplace and flip them on all year long. Just gives a bit of cheer to the evenings - especially in the winter!
Love that sweater! Looks hard tho!

The other night while we were out walking my husband and I could tell that others had fires going in fireplaces. We will probably not need it this coming week as we are supposed to have a high 80's - 90's week. I remember last year was similar and on the one day I did not want it to rain it did--my birthday (mid Sept).
I hope to be at Three Bags this coming week for the sale.

The sweater from Quince is so so darling. My 18 month old nephew will not wear something I made for one of his older siblings --he is at the stage where he would rather not wear anything. So for the time being I have given up on making things for nieces and nephews and am hoping to make things for myself and perhaps a few other adults.

So much cuteness! Kittens are incredibly cute, as is the sweater. Actually, the sweater is gorgeous.

That baby sweater looks like such a fun knit. Maybe I need to fine a baby? Youngest greadchild is 10 now. Oldest is 20. Maybe I'll be a greatgrandma in a few years.

Our Lily is a torti, and has almost those same "half-and-half" face markings.

Kady Sue is beautiful!

Glad you figured out a way to make comments.

Giroux has really changed how I feel about animal rights. It makes me fireball angry that someone just dumped him out.....then I start thinking about how MANY cats (and dogs too) are just left because the owner didn't take full life-time responsibility. And then there are people like Kady Sue's new Mom and that makes me feel glad. Every fur-kid deserves a comfy home, bowls full of nutritious food and someone to love them.

Kady Sue could be Ginger's sister! That baby sweater is very cute. I need to check out the pattern! Hope you're having a good day. It's rainy here! Hurrah!

The sweater is sweet, but that baby's feet are just "begging" to be kissed.

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...
