Winners

 Most of Stephanie Pearl McPhee's books are all about laughing. 
Her book KNITTING RULES 
really has some practical and awesome tricks in it. 
I'm learning as I read it.
I'm bookmarking the pages.
I'm underlining things.
I'm loving it as they say at McDonalds.
I'm also loving my sock finish from December.  They are cheerfully peeking out from my jeans today.

Someone in my hometown won a million last night in the big Mega game.  I sure hope it was sold at the gas station down the road from me. The man there is super nice.  

Did you play? I didnt this time!

I did play and won - $4.00 - be still my heart - LOL! It is fun to at least try and dream a lot!

My sister works at a gas station, convenience store - back in Ohio. At one of the other stores near her - they had a million dollar winner - in the previous night's drawing!

Love your socks! Wish I could knit socks so badly!

I love your socks! They're beautiful. I didn't play. I never win anything so I figured why waste the money. I'm glad someone in your town won though. How exciting.
Blessings, Betsy

No, I didn't purchase a ticket. I prefer to spend my money on more tangible things or put it directly in a slot machine so I can have a bit of entertainment while I lose it. ;o)

Love the socks!

I do not play, but Steve does. He was not the winner from Melbourne Beach, Florida. LOL

Your socks are very pretty! That will surely bring some bright color to the grey days of winter.

We played and I still woke up poor. If I had won the first thing I would have done is go rescue Daddio from the nursing home and set him up in private care. He's had a tough week.
Love those socks. I just used some Christmas money to go buy some more cheerful sock yarn. I need bright colors in winter.

Love the socks! That is the book I like best too. I heard that Canadians close to the border were going over and buying tickets but not me.

I did not play, actually I forgot! I know I live in a tunnel to forget about that jackpot. Love the socks.

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...
