Just picture this....
Monday, 28 June 2004 1:39 P GMT-06
Oh, wait. We don't have to play those games anymore because I got pictures!! My lovely husband brought me my USB cord and now we are cooking. But please pray for me cause the young girls are cooking tonight. So they say. I am not too sure about their

And just where have I been?
Sunday, 27 June 2004 12:00 P GMT-06
On the beach, in the pool, on the chaise lounge, in the condo, anywhere but the knitting chair! Haven't even cracked open the zipper on my lovely new cnavas bag after I zipped 2 projects into it. Seems my knitting muse has taken a vacation. And who w
Sunshine, on my knee caps, makes them sunburned
Saturday, 26 June 2004 6:39 A GMT-06
Yes it's that old country favorite, sing it along with me! Of course it would have been better if I hadn't tried to keep them from getting sunburned and not slather sun screen haphazardly. I have streaky knee caps! Oh well, it will even out in color
Progress
Thursday, 24 June 2004 2:44 P GMT-06
Slow but sure. It seems my best knitting time is in the morning. Well, late morning. My sister takes the girls down for a walk on the beach and I sit and knit in silence. So far the knitting of choice has been Summer. I made a dumb mistake and cut
What a beautiful view out side my window.
Tuesday, 22 June 2004 6:11 P GMT-06
I see blue sea, blue dusk sky and birds flying. More important, I can hear the gentle surf hitting the beach. Elder got a taste of the strong surf pounding her into the ocean bed this morning as she was body surfing. Not so gentle when it's bowling y
Sunshine In Florida

I couldn't resist! Got it from Knickknacks. If you want to play check it out.An essay on Sunshine in FloridaAre you sitting comfortably? At first glance Sunshine in Florida may seem unenchanting, however its study is a necessity for any one wishing t
Picture in your mind......
Monday, 21 June 2004 2:06 P GMT-06
a crashing surf, sunshine on the beach and water, sand between your toes (and in your suit!), tropical breezes, balmy weather, and seafood galore. Got that picture? Can you see it firmly in your mind's eye? Great. Why? 'Cause you ain't gonna see it h
Good Morning Daytona!
Sunday, 20 June 2004 7:29 A GMT-06
Woohoo! I am here and ready to party. Well, as soon as I make up for lost sleep and a 14 hour drive time trip in the car. We did break up the drive with frequent stops, so it wasn't that bad. Girls have already begged to go to the pool, 9:00 AM isn't
It's down to the wire, will she get it all done?
Friday, 18 June 2004 8:21 A GMT-06
T - 22 hours and counting. Not that I am counting the seconds, but I am keeping an eye on the clock to be sure I don't run out of day light before my lists are done. And today is a doozy. Get shower, get ready (hey, if I don't list it, I might forget
I need a list......
Thursday, 17 June 2004 9:10 A GMT-06
of everything I need to do in these last 2 days before I leave. I know, some of you can get it all accomplished without a list. Not me, no way, no how. I would probably forget something like, pack my clothes! I got a jump on some of my to do list yes
Vacation, all I ever wanted!
Wednesday, 16 June 2004 8:27 A GMT-06
Who's ready for vacation?? I'm not. Wait, I am more than willing to go, I am just not getting ready to go very well. Laundry will never get done, good thing we have a washer/dryer at the condo. Packing? Will a laundry basket do for a suitcase? Car re
What a busy night
Tuesday, 15 June 2004 8:03 A GMT-06
It all started at 4:00 when I ran Younger to piano lessons. Got home, put a peach cobbler in the oven (my first), started dinner. Elder had a baseball game at 6:00, which meant she needed to be there at 5:30, didn't happen. I called a neighbor and sh
I 'r' a illiterate computer nerd
Monday, 14 June 2004 1:55 P GMT-06
Yes, it's true, I 'r' illiterate when it comes to computers. I was trying to avert a repeat of a situation we experienced when my daughter was doing a search for Harry Potter. The screen she was sent to had NOTHING to do with HP. More like XXX. I qui
What was I working on?
Sunday, 13 June 2004 4:39 P GMT-06
Last night, as we went for pizza, I grabbed something small to knit on. Ended up taken my Fascine Braid sock that I have neglected for too long. Even tried to work on it today. Got to the heel flap, but not far past it! Then I went looking for a samp
Oh, Hufflepuff!
Saturday, 12 June 2004 7:50 P GMT-06
Excuse me! We have been busy with all kinds of Harry Potter knitting today. When my girls came home yesterday they brought their cousins for the night. Least I could do since my SIL and Bro had had my 2 for 2 nights. They had been searching Harry Pot
Another use for leftovers
Friday, 11 June 2004 4:47 P GMT-06
I made a hat last week with a double strand of leftovers and now this week I found another use for my oddballs. Madeline was made with 2 balls of Cascade 200 leftovers. The color for the bag did take a pretty good sized oddball, but the strap and fla
What to do today?
Thursday, 10 June 2004 8:43 A GMT-06
What will I do to waste my time today? I had plans for yesterday, I always seem to list the plans I have at the bottom of the post. Well, I can't cross off anything from yesterday. I got nothing accomplished. OK, so I got the girls packed and sent of

Vision better
Tuesday, 8 June 2004 2:50 P GMT-06
Maybe the reason my vision was so bad this morning was because of last night. The squinting taking place here trying to get some stitch markers made. I wasn't working under the best lighting and too many people kids trying to help me. But I did get
Something is wrong with my vision!
Tuesday, 8 June 2004 10:56 A GMT-06
Woke up this morning with a pain in my eyelid. It has subsided now, but was very annoying when I was trying to keep my eye open. Then as I worked on the felted bag, my Youngest asked me to make her, I was so pleased to cast off and laid it on the flo
Something's wrong with my vision
Monday, 7 June 2004 9:51 A GMT-06
I'm seeing spots stripes! Converging lines, horizontal ones, they're all here. Got Devan right at last while at the baseball game yesterday. First I had to start over after doing the ribbing because it wasn't lining up
What a weekend so far
Sunday, 6 June 2004 4:27 P GMT-06
It all started Friday night when Hubster decided we would camp out at my brother's house in the country. So off we went with the bare necessities. Of course my knitting went too. Had a lovely evening of watching the "men" put up the tents <
Devan's a leftie
Friday, 4 June 2004 8:39 A GMT-06
And might remain single if I don't get it in gear. I was working on the right front and about 2" in I decided to see how the stripes match up. They do.....if you offset the bottom edge by 1/4"! So, out came rightie and now it's back on trac

Bumblebee
Thursday, 3 June 2004 8:58 A GMT-06
Back to using a letter to bring forth a title. How many times can you use Good Morning? Bumblebee comes to mind since I saw my Opal Bumblebee yarn yesterday. I couldn't wait to get it to make a pair of socks, too bad they are still in the skein!I've
