This weeks entertainment...

...is squirrel watching.



The "boys" have discovered the joy of looking out the window. :)

RIP...

...Michael Jackson.

No matter what I thought of you as a person, your music rocked my world for many years. From Jackson 5's "ABC" to Off the Wall, I listened and danced.

I hope you find the peace now that you didn't find in life.


We are the world
We are the children

We are the ones who make a brighter day

So let's start giving

There's a choice we're making

We're saving our own lives

It's true we'll make a better day

Just you and me


- We Are the World, 1985

New wheels

Lemon has been turned into a cherry ;)



Cruiser was traded for a 2009 Ford Escape. It's a nice little SUV with high reliability rating (safety too). We're pleased to have an auto that shouldn't have to visit the mechanic every other month - which was the problem with the Cruiser for the past 6 months.

And I'm finding time to knit again! Life is feeling "much more better" (Captain Jack, Pirates)

When life gives you lemons...

I believe that if life gives you lemons, you should make lemonade. And try to find somebody whose life has given them vodka, and have a party


Here's my lemon...

Anyone out there got vodka?

Stay tuned.

Sharing

I dunno about you all but I needed the laugh that showed up in my email today. So I'm sharing with you. (And it's all I have to blog about that would be remotely interesting to anyone.)






No time for knitting or much of anything else as I am the primary care-giver to my elderly MIL right now. She isn't doing well and has to live with us...at least for now. Please send patience and good thoughts my way. Thanks!

Books for summer

...after I finish a re-read of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince


so that I can fill in the blanks of what is edited out of the movie in July. ;)


Dean Koontz's Relentless
DH and my favorite author



Beth Hensperger's Bread Lover's Bread Machine Cookbook
Looking for the perfect sour dough bread starter/recipe

I think the knitting book for the summer will be Wendy Johnson's Socks from the Toe Up


although that is subject to change on a whim. :)

How about you?
