The crazier things get with the closing on our new house the more I appreciate the calming power of knitting.
Why do some people treat their customers shabbily? Why-why-why don’t some people do good work? I hope it is b/c they are not able, but I really think it is b/c some people are mean & [...]

Our table at Deano’s Vino with a Coke, beer, water, omnipresent knitting & Iphone.
The Sunking Pale Ale is so good I wouldn’t have traded it for wine.
The Crustacean Pizza was so tasty we recommended it to a friend who joined us after seeing Rocky Horror Picture Show with the boys. She loved it, too.
Who would [...]

I was so excited to find a great deal ($3.49/ hank) on Plymouth’s Happy Feet that I ordered a bunch. Enough to get free shipping, which is kinda like getting really good stuff for free, huh?
Oh, I can’t wait…

If all of this wasn’t enough fun, [...]

Cast on 44 stitches with 3.25mm needles….
Garter stitch heel, which I think is too long making the sock huge. I’ll make the second to match as they might be kinda cozy after a day on the slopes this winter. Or maybe I will find the perfect foot for these, although I can’t imagine the foot [...]

Last weekend, Memorial Day weekend, found us in Louisville at Churchill Downs. I just love everything about that place: the history, the grit, the thrill in the air, the gorgeous animals! Because gambling is silly & out of my league I choose my horses based on colors & their clever names. This practice yielded no [...]

This blog has been ignored for real life activities for almost a month! I was sure it had only been a couple of weeks…
What on earth have I been doing that prevented me from saying something?
Let’s see…
1. Restored laundry room to ivory (shea butter if you’re fancy) from lipstick red.
