Friday Fun .......This Post is All Over the Board

By -
 I need to bring a gift to an 11 year old girl, my great niece.
A friend told me that Babycakes is a great gift.
Like an Easy Bake Oven for big girls who aren't quite big enough to manage the oven. 
Have you seen this?

 This big girl is notorious for breaking glasses.
And glass bowls. 
So I found these "wine" cups that ought to last around here.
I'll let you know!

 Another friend gave me a great tip:
Skinnytaste.com.  They have great recipes. 
I made their lettuce wraps this week.  
Lots of veggie choppin but great flavor .

 When Al was home I gave her my mom's apron. 
My mom was 19 when her mother in law crocheted this for her. 
Olga was my Hungarian grandma, my dad's mom. 
The Hungarians are looking kind of mean right now aren't they?
I hope MY relatives there are helpers to the refugees.

Everyone in the Central Plains and Midwest are experiencing storms.
Last night the clouds looked full of energy and they delivered.

 I can't believe September is half over.
I LOVE THIS MONTH. 
It just may be my favorite month of the year.

What's your favorite Month?

I like posts that are all over the board. They're fun and show more of what's happening around your place. I'll check out that skinnytaste.com. Thanks for passing that tip along! Have a great weekend.

I also like posts that cover lots of things. Your daughter is adorable and that apron is so cool and vintage! We had a day of rain and now the sun is back, but I'm off soon to swim with Gracie. ((hugs)), Teresa :-)

I think my posts are all over the board too! We had lots of rain yesterday but sadly we get very little thunder and lightning out west. I think October is my favorite--September is usually pretty hot and dry here (not this year) and October is Prime Fall Time! Plus football.

I always enjoy your posts! I've never seen one of those ovens in person - only on Price Is Right - LOL! That apron - is so crazy and fun! Hmmm, my favorite month is probably October. But then I like November also. And February - I'm one of those odd people who like February for some reason....

I am a big fan of December. I always am a Grinch when it comes to Christmas but I like the promise of snow and the cold for the first few weeks. I am always over it by January though!

I like February. It promises cold weather, it's a slow month for me at work, and I can sit under an afghan and knit a lot.

The apron is darling. It makes me wonder why I don't knit a few cotton aprons.

October is my most favorite month .........it starts to cool off here, and I just love all the fall decorations everywhere.

Mine is October, it finally cools off down here. Halloween is my favorite holiday by far and it is also Mr 21's birthday. Al is the cutest.
Hugs,

The nearly Thousandth post Contest

(just another baby legging in the image. Using my socks yarns a little differently) I think that blogger may not have correctly counted all the posts I've written. I've been posting since 2004 so I guess it is possible. I'm not going to go back and count them all. It says this is post 987. So we'll go with it. Im having a little contest for the milestone, but I have had writer's block since I decided on the 1000th post contest. So to take the pressure off, we are just going to do this now. :) I get crazy with pressure around events of all kinds. I just do. To enter: Please please please only leave a comment about this post on this post. Im much too flakey to search around differnt posts, afterall there are nearly a thousand (did I mention that number already? sorry....) Leave a comment telling me anything about Lace. If you dn't know anything about Lace, ask someone and share their knowledge. Do tell us who gave you this lace advice, to make it f...

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...
