{Fat Cat Crochet}

Sometimes getting into a groove on a project is a problem.  I’ve been wanting to make the Lacy Top Cardigan (designed by Doris Chan. PDF pattern is available for free download on Ravelry.com ) for my SIL ever since we saw the pattern while shopping together in 2007. Yes, two years.  Well I’ve started on it.  Really.  And it’s an [...]

At the Range that is.  And I have the bruised ego to prove it.

I can’t remember the last time ELPH & I took a vacation and pretty much did nothing …..and LOVED it! 
My Dad came to stay with us a few days last week.  ELPH had a Honey Do List and Dad was a huge help.   What’s the saying?   Many hands make for light work.  ELPH was very happy to [...]

They’re all Go Go Go!  Until they sleep.  After exploring Stumphouse Tunnel and hiking Issaqueena Falls, Nephew (he’s 8) wanted to do nothing but ride the wave-runner.  By himself.  We had to explain that there is a Law that says he’s too young to ride them alone.  But when I told him that ELPH  would ride [...]

Shortly after I gave the ELPH his last beat down at the range, he decided he needed a new pistol. Just.like.mine!  I must admit I love my Stainless Camper and I’m more accurate with it than I am with ELPH’s CZ Kadet.  So two weekends ago we sighted in his new Browning Buck Mark .22 Practical.

As with most Saturdays lately, this [...]

My crochet slows way down in the summer.  Just too much daylight.  More neighbors are home and hanging out outside.  In general for me, it’s too hot to work with yarn.  Even indoors.  I’d rather be outside.  And lately weekends outside means a morning at the Cedar Creek Rifle Range.  Yes, yes I know, you come here [...]

Dad drove down from Tennessee on Friday afternoon for the weekend in his new (to him) car.
We had no plans for Friday evening but Saturday morning ELPH & I & Dad went to the gun range.   I’m new to shooting.  Don’t have a clue what type of gun I was shooting except that all of ELPH’s [...]

I took the Maggie Wrap to Yes Yarn for Margaret to try on.  The sleeves are perfect but Margaret is tall and long waisted so I’ll have to make some alterations to the pattern.  I’ll be working on that this weekend and should have some new (modeled) photos first of the week.
ELPH is home from [...]

Remember when…

Happy Anniversary
my Ever Loving & Patient Husband

You are the love of my life.

Everyday I wake up and see this.  I know.  I’m a beatch.  But what can I say?  It sucks to be me.

Last night we had a wicked thunderstorm.  About 1:30am I’m awakened but a whining, shivering dog in my bed.  I hear what sounds like small rocks hitting the bedroom window.  ELPH says “It’s really [...]
