A Little Monday Excitement......

Well first, lets state the obvious........I got a spanking new phone to replace HomeSkillet (my blackberry) with over the weekend. I promptly texted Margie and asked what app she used for her super cool photos and BAM I am having all sorts of fun now......
Second: I bet I could spit a longer distance than the amount of yarn I have left to knit my Sweet Vermouth with......so we can all say 'Hey, she's within Spitting Distance of getting something finished.................Not bad, not bad at all.
Third: There are changes on my horizon, some good, some not so good, but the upside is they are my decision and I am happy with them as such.
Fourth: with my new camera app I can make a funny noise with the camera right before I snap the picture and that's how I got Mr. Brown to give me the look that says 'I wish she'd stop taking my F$%&ing picture.' I'm sure he's not the only one who thinks that but I don't mind.........I love him and shall force my love for him upon all of you.............
happy monday

SSYC... My First Official Yarn Crawl...

It's true... I've never actually participated in a yarn crawl or LYS tour. When I worked at So Much Yarn I had the pleasure of working the weekend of the LYS Tour but I've never done it. Well, the SSYC, South Sound Yarn Crawl covers 9 shops that aren't included for whatever reason in the Seattle LYS Tour that covers around 25 shops in the area. Maybe they're too far off the beaten path. It's not because they aren't in Seattle because there are shops way way way out of town that are included in the Seattle LYS tour. Whatever the reason, it's not important. What is important is that Mary and I both took Friday off and hit the road. I caught the 7:15 Ferry to Kingston, Arrived at Mary's about 8:00. Mary and I have the same china. Mine came from my Grandmother, her's came from her mom. Tried making friends with her fluffy dog Mae. Someday she'll come to love me, for now I'll respect her tenative personality and love her fro...

Remembering...

I don't know what karmic cosmic angels were flitting around today but they led me to the coffee aisle at the grocery store. More specifically it led me to the international moments. Which led me to thoughts of my grandmother. I loved her. I knew deep in my bones that she loved me. Grandma loved her International Moments coffees. Just smelling them. Holding the tin (though it's different now) Brings back memories of being with my grandma. She said these were her special treat and she'd make one for me to. Grandma made the best fresh blackberry pie. I know they were fresh because when she came to visit us in Bellevue she'd make us help her pick blackberries. She was the master of Christmas cookies, chocolate chip cookies and raspberry freezer jam. I make freezer jam from time to time and it reminds me of summer visits to Boise. Helping grandma in her garden, making sun tea, and smelling her roses. Sometimes, I buy a tin of Interna...
