 I had our furniture repair/paint pals change the old secretary.

I was sick of it.   It was an oak stain for years and years 
I absolutely love what His and Hers Furniture did for this piece.  I'm into grays. 

I'm going to knit a bit on my stocking later. 

My Birthday is tomorrow and I know we'll have a great day.
Fireman has worked so hard and we wont 'have to pack or do anything house related. 

I told my mom , last night, that my birthday was soon. 
She smiled and starting to sing  Happy Birthday to you
then she forgot the rest. 

It was awesome anyhow.

Happy birthday!!!!
That desk is gorgeous! When Daughter moved into her new place she went to a vintage place that refinishs to your specifications and got lots of beautiful pieces for a very reasonable price. She is into gray too and had a bench done with a fair isle cushion that is to die for.

It's beautiful! I love the style and those compartments. My great uncle had a cool, vintage desk that I had wanted, but we had just moved and our office still has some unpacked items so we didn't take it. Hau'oli la hanau to you.

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...
