Home Again


Milo and Shiloh are happy. Both had to have lots of lap time.

My humans care. They helped bring my stuff in.

Sammie could care less, barely saw him since being home.

Tired!

Check out this park. Close to town and just a great place to stay

And though an easy tent to live in it wasn’t super easy coming down. (Core 6)

Tenting


Got the tent up. Now tired!

Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “simple.” Use it any way you’d like. Enjoy!

Let me put this plainly. Getting older isn’t simple. I used to rearrange the furniture quite often. Getting ready for company took hardly any effort. I haven’t even started packing. I do have a list. Hopefully, because it is for camping, it’ll be simple.

Even so…

Finishing Friday


The colorful balloon diamond painting is more than halfway finished.
The Fleegle Heel Scrappy Socks are an ankle from being finished. I have quite a bit of that pretty yarn left to start my next pair.

This week I’ve been busy planning for company and a camping trip this next week.  I wish I could take Milo but the camping spot would cost us two vintage ladies more for the site. So the guys will bach it while we try to show that over 70 ladies can rough it. We did it before, a couple years ago. We can do it again.

I may not have a lot of time to blog. But maybe I’ll share a picture or two.

I can’t wait! And I’m grateful for the motivation to clean up a bit, too.


So true

One-Liner Wednesday


Is it me? There seemed no other good Snoopy puns. All seemed like this one. So maybe Facebook is trying to tell us something.

An attempt at a One-Liner Wednesday.

Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “drink.” Use it as a noun or a verb, use it any way you’d like. Have fun!

Take a moment. There’s a lot going on. But there are quiet wonders. No politics, no dangers, no stress, or right or wrong, blue or red.

Drink in the calm. Drink in the kindness. Drink in the beauty around you. Even at this moment. Neither future nor past exists. This moment is a gift. The present is a present. Take it in. Breathe.

Drink it in.

Didn’t add much to my scrappy socks.
I think I did a row or two here. After frogging back several rows. I’m sharing the cakes with the socks to show the way it looks knitted or wound. I love these colors.
It may not look like it, but I did spend time on the watermelon socks. I still have an inch or two before the arch ribbing.
This sea turtle is coming along. This one has a lot of black. I find black yarn or diamonds hard on my eyes.

Some things seem harder to see progress.

Milo looks sweet and innocent when he’s asleep, but OMG!!! He takes over my bed and when I try to find my spot on the bed, he gets grumpy. Yet, at times, that cuddle bug feels like Heaven, you know?

He understands outside pee time but comes back in to leave a surprise in the hallway right next to the kitty litter.

Oh, the barking! I remember with Kali, all the energy, many of the same issues. I used to say having a dog was 100% harder than raising 4 kids. Yet with love the issues faded and when she passed… Well, I’m still not over her. So I know Milo will get it and the rest of my heart. Any hints to help with these issues? Cats are easy!

On the plus side, these guys are the best audience, source of laughter, and love in furry suits.

On the piano end of things I surprised myself with a whole hour of fun a couple days this week. AND with the discomfort and lack of sleep, my bike time reduced every day but today. I finally got 40 minutes today. Yay!

I have 3 reviews to write. Yeah, being uncomfortable in bed makes me sit up and read. Lots of reading. I like reading in the quiet of night.

How was your week? What positive progress have you seen in your life?

One-Liner Wednesday


A part of Linda’s One-Liner Wednesday.

When the guys returned after a couple hours, they knew this greeting!


My newest sea turtle diamond painting is nearly 1/3 done.
I haven’t done but a row or two on my watermelon socks. Still not up to the arch ribbing.
See the yellow marker? I was ribbing along while chatting and oopsed. So now I have to tink back a couple rows. Darn!
My hands were longing for larger needles. So I started on scrappy socks. See how much faster the larger needles and yarn move along? Already to the arch ribbing. Turkish cast-on, 8, increase toe to 16. Then knit until arch. Then knit, purl until time for Fleegle Heel.
My son told me I would love the Skyrim Theme. He’s right. There are a lot of YouTubes to hear it for now. Soon I’ll do a Warts and All with all I’m working on.
My favorite song, played often on Grey’s Anatomy, Chasing Cars. Every time I hear it I cry. I don’t know why exactly. Now I’m enjoying learning how to play and sing it. Next to that song, is God Bless The Child. The closest to ready of all. It is so much fun to play.
I’m starting to relent and do scales and exercises, hence Hanon’s 1st exercise. Almost polished Ash Grove. Still working Con Te Partiro, another favorite.
And for my constant audience member in my Dabbling Den, Shilo for Shiloh. It’s coming along. I seem to be learning more about improv on this one. Daylight is HARD so I’m taking a measure or two at a time. And I’m still loving Succession.
And Italian is my favorite on Duolingo keeping me going.

Just following my passions. Book reviews coming soon.
