Knitting and Loons

Here is a hooded sweater I am knitting for DGD for fall so she can go hunting with her daddy in October and November. I am using Bernat worsted weight yarn, arcylic, and do not like the feel at all! The pattern is Johnny by Penny Stryker. You can see that I have it put together and have started the hood.

Went fishing last night and this loon decided to check me out. There were two of them that followed me around while I was rowing and trolling for fish! Kept praying they wouldn't go for the hook and worm!! lol
This one I took the other day from the beach. They seem to be on our end of the lake a lot this year. Not a lot of boats out due to the oil prices and it is very quiet and peaceful. The loons are not bothered by boats so enjoy a day catching fish!












Well, had my preadmit today. All set for next Thursday! I hate needles so bad, told them to make sure they have the good stuff ready when I walk through the doors...they all laughed. Just give me some of that happy stuff and they can cut away and I won't care! oh well, the worst part is the recovery...not it isn't..the worst part is getting there for the surgery! Once I'm out I won't care what they do for me.

I am looking for a side to side sweater pattern for Sarah. I would like a size 3 or 4. Anyone out there know where I can get one on the internet for free would be wonderful!!!! But I am also one that buys a ton of patterns so any suggestions as to where I might buy one, please let me know!

Take care all, I won't be posting for a month or more, will be in bed with this recovery..can't put any weight on the ankle for 6 weeks. I will be knitting and reading my mystery books and watching the wildlife from camp!

KNIT ON!

JULY 2008

I took this picture of this cow moose on route 11 on the way back from Bangor on July 2ND. As you can see, she is very thin and her rib cage is showing. The animals has a very hard winter and we lost a lot of wild life to this snow burdened year. With over 210 inches of snow the animals had it hard...very little if any food for them. Many died of starvation and even more did not have any babies this year as the mothers weren't able to carry them due to the lack of food.

This one decided she was going to pose for me....I stopped in the middle of the road and she turned and started eating from the bog. This picture here you can vaguely see the water dripping from her mouth as she chewed the sweet grass from the bog.



In this picture you can see how thin she is!!! I understand that the Maine wildlife isn't going to have any doe permits in our area this year for guns or bows.



July 4, Baxter and Brewski in the water playing. They had a great time chasing the stick we threw in. Brewski isn't too fond of water, but he finally swam a little to get the stick..more than he has ever done. lol

And this moth was on the screen at camp the other morning. I went out and touched it and it opened its wings up. It stayed there until the sun came around to the back of the camp and it got hot.

















I have been knitting dishcloths like crazy! Gave over a dozen away so far and kept 5 for me. I will probably make more when I have my ankle replaced in 2 weeks...it is the kind of knitting you can do and not have to think about the pattern...mindless knitting!! Just my cup of tea lately!

I do have a hooded cables sweater started for Sarah. I bought some pink camo yarn at AC Moores a couple of weeks ago and decided to make one for DGD so she can be in camo when her Daddy takes her on his hunting rides...she will blend in with the rest of the hunters!! lol

Well, heading back to camp. It has been so nice up there even with all the heat and humidity. TG for A/C!!!

Oh yeah, had a night when all the windows were open and had a critter in the woods by our bedroom thrashing and snapping limbs...woke me up from a dead sleep! DH thought it was a moose. The cat took off from the bed hid for a few hours...lol scared cat!!!

Take care all and

KNIT ON!!

We're going to be Grandparents again!

No pictures today, but wanted to share with everyone that our son and his wife are expecting a baby in January!!! We are so excited!!! She will have her ultrasound next month! She is a lot further along then she thought!

My ankle surgery is scheduled for July 24 here at our little hospital. Will be glad to get this done with and recover so I can have the back and then my knee done.

The mill is going down July 28, so want to make sure I have insurance to get this stuff done...I am hoping DH is able to bump down in the other mill in the next town. We will see. Keep your fingers crossed for us...the state of Maine is trying to get the company some grants to put in some other type of fuel system..bark burner type thing.

Well, Happy Fathers Day to all you men out there. Take care all and ........

KNIT ON!!!

Knitting and other things going on

I have one pair of socks done for DH and another pair started to me. I bought this yarn off the Internet this winter and I can't remember from who. I know I paid around $26.00 a skein for it as it was hand painted yarn. I ordered two skeins cause I wasn't sure how much it would take to do a pair of socks with...and guess what? I have more then enough for a second pair for me and probably a little pair for DGD!



And I have knit two sweaters and one is off to Texas as I write this along with the Aran cardigan I had finished a while ago. This one is knit from Lion brand Vanna yarn. DIL loved the one I knit for Sarah. And I was told that she has already worn it last week during the rain and cold weather we had.


Dawn at camp! Red sky in the morning, sailors take warning. Red sky at night, sailors delight! And did we get rain! And cold weather to go with it. Had to build a fire everyone day for the last week as the weather has just not been spring like at all!
Lady Slippers. I have some other photos I took but on another stick so will add them the next time I am in town.
This is a trailer fire that happened on Sunday, June 8 in our little town. A 41 year old woman died in it. You can read about it at at www.bangornews.com It is a tragic death to say the least. I didn't know the lady, but I pray God has her now and she is not suffering!

Here I am holding a male hummingbird. It was on one of the window feeders and wasn't moving. I went out and it just dropped into my hand. It was breathing so I brought it in the camp and held it for about an hour in my hands. It had been in the mid 30's overnight and I think the poor little bird was cold! It took a long time for it to start to move around in my hands..as it warmed up it opened its eyes up and kept trying to hide in my hand. So I took it outside and put it back by the feeder and it flew up and landed on it. It still just sat there so I picked it up again and went back inside. It was well over an hour by then and it was time to see if it could fly. And it did! I was able to take two pictures of it as I was alone at camp at the time. It was amazing to do this! The humming birds are back for the summer and I do enjoy watching them at the feeders.

Life at Camp

Red breasted Grosbeak on the feeders. Spelling isn't right but who cares! He is so pretty and fun to watch!


This Morning Dove is driving poor Feather crazy walking past her all morning. She doesn't go out so this is a treat for her to be this close!


Wild strawberry blossoms in the yard!


And the squirrel is in the feeder filling his belly up!

KNIT ON!!

Life is GREAT!!

 
Sunset at Camp! What beautiful pictures these are!
 

Taken from the deck at camp!
 
 

 

Aran Cardigan for Rebecca in Texas. This one is going to my Pen Pal Judy in Texas for her Granddaughter! She will not be wearing it for a while as the baby won't be one until October.
 
 

This is the sweater I am working on for Sarah. It is from the Vanna print out that I got a while ago. I have never had to many ends to tie in before in my life!!! I spent all day yesterday and all most all the evening hiding those many double strands of yarn!

I have it all finished but for the buttons. Came to town today to get them and to get a few things at the grocery store. We have some big thunder storms coming tonight so I want to be back at camp before they hit. I needed to shut this pc off too!
 

I have been doing a lot of knitting this last week. DH was on vacation so he got a lot of the yard work done. DS had a softball accident last week and had to have surgery on his right thumb on May 20. He is lucky that he is the boss, so he has two workers and he can do some things. He has a cast and will have it checked on June 6. The doctor had to put the cords back on the bone. Called it a skiiers thumb. LOL Always something with that kid! Just like his mother!!! One thing or another with us! His wife is so good, she just smiles and is by his side. We are hoping to get to see them this weekend...once I have the ankle replaced I will be laid up for 6 weeks with a cast! And will not be able to put any weight on the leg either!

Well take care my friends. I will try to keep you posted with my knitting projects and recovery. May God Bless you all for your concern and internet friendship!

KNIT ON!!

WE ARE MOVING!!!

The waterline is in the lake and the pump is working...hot water tank is on and we are ready to move in tomorrow. I plan on going to the camp early tomorrow morning and getting the fridge and the rest of the cupboards cleaned up and do some laundry. I love to hang clothes out on the line so will be a fun day for me. I got my veggie plants in the pots today and the hanging flowers are now out on the post on the deck! WE ARE MOVING!! The alarm system is working at the house so this year we will have that for security. Lets hope DH remembers the code!!! We are going to stay up tomorrow night and then come home in the morning to bring up the cats. It will be so nice to have quiet again. Last night we listened to our neighbors across the street little girl talking and crying most of the night. We had our windows open and I guess they did too! And the dogs in the neighborhood barked all night long too! And then the paper machine in the mill went down so we had the steam plant screaming at us as the released the steam into the air most of the night too!!! It will be heaven at camp until the fourth of July when everyone moves up from their out of state homes for the next month or so. Oh well. That won't be bad..we are just about the last camp on the road so we don't get their traffic, just the 4-wheelers during the day. And the people that own party boats ride around and talk. But the nights are quiet and it is so nice!!! Crickets, frogs, loons, and the birds...lol

I had my MRI yesterday. I didn't make it through the first set when I started to get upset so they brought me out and let me calm down. The 3 ladies decided to put me in feet first for the next 45 minutes if I could go back in and finish the first set. I had enough Valium in me to float a house, but it didn't help. The last time I went in they gave me xanax and it worked very, very good. No problems at all. And I couldn't have any music as they had to put my head in the device so the headset wouldn't fit. DARN!! It is an awful feeling to be in something like that and scared to death of it. I guess the fear I had from being locked up in that little room in the cellar as a small child still rears its ugly head from time to time! At least now I know what it is and why it happens. And I was able to talk myself into knowing that I could get out and no one would keep me there..especially after they took me out the first time. I had the first full set without the contrast and then they brought me out again and said to not move at all...the computer would pick up where it left off so I had to be in the same position for this to work. So they injected the dye contrast and put me back in. I said so many prayers yesterday in that hour I won't have to pray for a week now!!!! And the noise that the machine made sounded like disco music beat a few times. I could see John Travolta dancing around in my head. And when they put me in feet first, me knees were hitting on this bump. The first set tickled my knees so much I was giggling for the 2 minutes it took...and the tech asked me what was so funny...ha ha ha. I noticed that when they were running the MRI the area that it was working on got very warm. When the took me out that first time I was burning up. So I ended up taking the blanket off me and pulling the johnny up to my boobs so the air would blow on my bare skin.(I had my boxers on) The girls laughed and said I had no modesty...not when it comes to keeping cool! All and all, I will make sure if I have to do this again I will have a different medication to make sure I can get through it without tears. Now for my doctor to decide what she can do to help me. But I think I will have the ankle done first. I won't be able to use crutches after the back surgery and this ankle replacement means 6 weeks with not being able to put any pressure on that ankle so I will be on crutches for a couple of months. We will see!

Got the second button band on the aran tonight and the ribbing for the hood almost done and ready for the hood. I hope to finish this soon.

Well, heading to bed..want to get up early and head to camp. DH has the car loaded up for me. He told me he has my rifle and bullets in the front so I would have it with me at camp. After seeing that bear the other night..I want that rifle close at hand!!!

Temps today hit 70 F beautiful degrees..it is still 60 degrees at 11 pm. And the bugs are out! I hate those black flies..they love me and they sure do bite me! DH didn't have any around him when we were out in the boat dropping off the waterline..but I had a dozen of them getting in my eyes and mouth!!! YUCKY!!

Night all

KNIT ON!!

Moving to Camp some day!!!

Well this is going to be one of those years! Nothing has gone right with this move at all this week. DH and I put the waterline in the lake yesterday after waiting for 4 days for the winds to die down and the lake to calm down. Then he discovered he had brought up the wrong pump so that was the end of that! So today we brought up the right pump and he hooked it up. He primed the pump and waited for the water to fill the line up so he could open the line into the camp and nothing. An hour and a half of him putting water in the pump and turning it on and nothing!! So he pulled the waterline in and checked it out to make sure there weren't any holes in the pipe. The foot valve was tangled in the rope and he thinks this was stopping the water from getting pumped in. But the winds are still bad so we didn't get to put the line back. Yesterday we had a little lull in the winds so we took that as our one chance to get it in the lake. But today the winds were even stronger and huge white caps and waves made it impossible to put the little boat back in the water and row out to drop the line with the block on it back. We won't be going to camp tomorrow as I have an MRI in Bangor at 4 pm. It will be too late to go up by the time we get home...so it will have to wait until Saturday when DH is on vacation for the next week. Oh well. Just wasn't meant to be! Now we are keeping our fingers crossed that none of the pipes in the camp have cracked like they did several years ago due to moisture in the pipes and a very cold night with no one staying at camp to keep the water running...lol That is the only good thing about PVC pipe..it is easy to cut and replace it if there is a problem.

Well I did get the two bands done on the Aran Cardigan tonight. I just haven't felt like knitting at all these last 4 or 5 days. I have several projects all packed for camp. Will take up three or four and the rest will be at home. DH will bring them up when I am ready to start them.

I hate thinking about the MRI I am having tomorrow. I was abused as a little girl and one of the incidents was my mother locking me in the basement in a little room that they kept potatoes in during the winter. There was no light so it was a very dark place to be. And this MRI is a great reminder of those feelings even 48 years after the fact. And it took a scare to bring it all back when I was 35. I was in the bathroom at work when the lights went out and there was no back up lights. I was terrified and this just came flashing at me like it was yesterday! And since then I have been terrified of being locked in and not being able to get out. I will have to be medicated to do this and I am bring my Phil Vasseur Greatest Hits CD for them to play while I am in there for an hour tomorrow. My doctor has ordered this to check the whole spine this time. No more little surprises I am hoping. This way she will know what else needs to be corrected and then go in for the surgery. I will be the bionic woman when I am done!!! LOL

Well, I am going to watch Murder She Wrote and then head to bed and try to relax enought to get some sleep. Take care all and.......

KNIT ON!

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!

Just a quick note to say "HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY" to everyone! May your day be filled with love and a lot of knitting!

KNIT ON!!

Camp

I went to camp on Wednesday to see how things were and to get the bedding. On the ride home, I almost hit a deer that ran into the road in front of me. And this big snapping turtle was crossing the road. I stopped in both lanes of traffic so no one could get by me and run over it. They move so slowly and a lot of people run over them when they could have stopped and waited for them to get to the other side of the road. We do not have turtles like we used to when I was a kid. People kill them all the time and the babies do not survive because of predators. This one was moving along nicely and it probably wouldn't have made it if I hadn't stopped traffic for it. LOL


Yesterday we went to camp after DH got out of work at 3:30 pm. I got some of the bedroom cleaned and a lot of the dust removed from the furniture. DH unloaded the cleaning stuff for me and then went to shoot his new bow! I knew he wanted to go up for a reason that wasn't to clean...hahahahahaha. We had sandwiches for supper at camp and then did some more cleaning and headed home. While I was eating supper I noticed a hummingbird at the feeder. By the time I got my camera ready it flew off. So today I went to camp at 7:30 am and did a lot of cleaning...with a lot of breaks. I had lunch and while I was eating, the male hummer was there a lot. I finally got a picture of him. I also put out some of my other bird feeders and had several blue jays and many different kinds of finch. I think the bright yellow ones are so pretty.


And there is still snow at camp!! Some on the road in and a lot on the shoreline. We have a huge pile of it because that is where it drifted the most. It should be gone in a few more days. It will take a couple of weeks for the lawn to dry up before we can drive on it.

I got two of my cupboards washed out with Clorox cleanup today. I hate cleaning up after the mice!! They poop everywhere. We put all the dishes and silverware into large plastic storage boxes so we don't have poop on them any more. But they still get in the cupboards and drawers. We are so lucky that they make cleaning products ready to use...especially when there is no running water for a few more days. I get to clean the place and not need any water!!! Thank God for smart people!! lol

Well, going to go knit and watch TV early tonight. Need to rest my poor aching back and ankle!! Take care all and....

KNIT ON!!!!

Aran Cardigan

Well, I got the sleeves knitted up last night and measured to make sure all the pieces were the right length. @#$@%#& it all! The back and the front were an inch too short. So I took out the bind off and picked up the back stitches and added 8 more rows. Then I frogged the two fronts back 18 rows to where I started to decrease and added 8 more rows there. I have only 5 rows of the decrease done and had to put it up for the evening. Was so over tired I couldn't see straight. Today I have been so busy that I didn't get a chance to even open up my knitting bag to work on it. The weather was 71 F beautiful degrees today, the sun was shining and I just couldn't stay in the house to knit or read!! I went to bed early to work on the fronts this evening, but just didn't feel like it so watched NCIS and Shark. Turned off the TV and couldn't sleep. So here I am at the computer reading blogs and adding to mine. And DH is upstairs snoring away and I can't seem to get sleepy tonight.

Had my little car checked over today. Back tire was making noise so had it to the garage all day. Nothing there so didn't cost me anything.

Having a lot of problems with my poor ankle. Dr wants to wait to replace it until after my back surgery. I don't think that is going to wait. I am using crutches again to get around. In the morning it isn't too bad, but as the day wears on the pain is so bad I can hardly stand on it. It feels like a broken bone! I know it is the little pieces in there moving and causing this pain. And I know that I am calling the doctor tomorrow to get on the list and have it done ASAP. We should be moving to camp this weekend. So if I can get it all cleaned up this week and stuff moved in and put away, all DH has to do is put the pump in place, line in the water and prime it! The rest will be getting the cats up there! Then we can plan the surgery. It is only a 2 day stay this time..but I will be in bed for 2 weeks in a fluffy cast and then 4 more weeks in a hard cast and not able to put any weight on it. Oh well..can't be any worse then when I broke it in '82. (Did it on my 10 year olds little 60CC dirt bike! Had 5 1/2 hours of surgery to put the ankle back in place and 6 weeks in a cast. I then had 6 months of physical therapy 5 days a week to learn to walk again. I then had two more surgeries in the next 5 years to remove the pins and screws in it. That summer a friend and her son and me and my son went up on the mountain where there had been a terrible forest fire a few years before and picked blueberries. I picked over 120 quarts of those little things. It was a hot July too! lol We had blueberries for months..gave away many of them too.)

I boiled my sugar water tonight and washed out my hummingbird feeders. I know that the males are already here and they must be wondering why there isn't anything to eat! I have bought 50 pounds of sugar so far..I hope to get the rest this weekend at Sam's Club in Bangor. I have used 150 pounds one summer! Had over 40 of birds and they sure did go through a lot of the stuff everyday. I was boiling 3 gallons of water a day for over a month...August. I usually have a dozen or so females and 3 males. Then the babies start showing up. Last summer I thought I had a couple of big bumble bees on the feeders. When I went out to shoo them away, I discovered they were baby hummers!! lol

Going to head to the camp at 6 when DH leaves for work. Need to get the bedding and curtains down and bring them home to wash and dry. Then I will take the truck to the glass place for them to fix the windshield..it leaked inside the truck last week when we had all the heavy rain. The dealer isn't sure if it is the windshield or the lights on top. (Reason we never ordered them on a truck before..this truck wasn't ordered by us so it had them on the cab.) So start with the windshield and see if it happens again. The truck isn't 3 years old yet and it still have full coverage on it..so get r done now!!! lol

Going to have to get my knitting projects lined up for the summer. DH will never be able to find anything if I don't have it all bagged and tagged and ready to grab when I need a new one. This way I will always have something to do while recouping. I hope I can get the skirt done for DDIL this summer too. Started it over 3 years ago and just couldn't make myself work on it when it got to the 3/4 point! Now I have them on one big circular needle and only have about 45 more rows to go. Will try to get a couple of pictures taken of it and post soon.

Well, going to go watch Murder She Wrote..Haven't seen this one before..that I can remember!! LOL

KNIT ON!!

Graces 5th Birthday Today!!

On Saturday Grace's parents had her birthday party at the indoor mini-golf place for kids in town. She had her little friends from nursery school and family there to share in her day!
This picture is of Grace riding the little merry-go-round that Lori has in the store.



Grace opening up one of her many gifts.



Grace with her Dora lamp that she got from her Aunt Kelly and Uncle Jason. She had such a fun afternoon there. She tired us out just watching her running around, playing golf, and playing the many other games there!




This is a picture of dandilions in our yard! This is the first flowers in our yard. I do not have anything else because we will be moving to camp in a couple of weeks and no one is here to take care of them. So we have them at the lake to enjoy.

Today I finished the two sleeves for the Aran Cardigan. I will be putting it together later tonight and then adding the hood. Can't wait to get this finished and off to Texas.

Went to the local hardware store today to get some hummingbird feeders...the ones from Perky-pet...that stick to the window. I had bought 3 last summer, but dropped them a couple of times when I was filling them and they leaked all over the deck. So I will save them for parts if I should need them.

Well, heading in to work on my aran...and I think I am going to go to bed early tonight..like right now! Got up with DH at 5:30 and drove him to work so I could use the truck and pickup my flowers at the local greenhouse for camp. Also went to the cemetary to put the silk flower arrangements on my father in law, mother in law and brother in laws graves. Will get my mothers later as hers are at camp and we still can't get in.

Take care all and

KNIT ON!!

Flooding

This is Route 11..about 14 miles outside of town, heading towards Brownville. The heavy rains Monday and Tuesday took its tolls on our roadways. The road was closed to traffic both ways until DOT could get it fixed. As of 9 pm tonight the road has been reopened. There are many of the sides of the road that are washed out and very deep. And quite a few areas on the road were covered with debris due to the water covering the roads.


This is the Underpass on the Lake Road. This road goes to the mountain. The people on the other side had to travel to the lake and then back down the golden road to get to town. There are many houses with flooded basements all over town today.


The town has had school buses in the past to get the residents from one side to the other, but this year the water was too high for that. The road is still closed tonight. Word on the street is that they will be opening Rip Dam tonight and that will cause even more flooding to us and all the way downstream to the ocean. So glad I live on this big hill away from all that. We do not get water very often in the cellar, but when we do it's usually a good one! No water again today down there.

This is the Millinocket Foundry in town. They had the water running right through their business today. The men and women went to work and it was business as usual for them.


Finished the two fronts on the hooded cardigan tonight and started the two sleeves. I hope I can get this finished soon and in the mail to Texas. Then I can finish the other hooded sweater for Sarah and then the wool lace skirt I have been working on for my DIL.

KNIT ON!

WIP'S are coming along great!

I took this picture in hopes that you can see the price of gas in our little town. I was driving and only took this one. When I got home I noticed that the trees seem to be covering the price, which is $3.65! And my little car broke down yesterday so we have to use the truck for a while until we can get it fixed. We are going to need the car soon, so hoping our stimulus money comes in this week! It will probably take the whole check to fix the left back wheel...it started grinding and then you could smell metal heating up...can't remember what I was told needed to be replaced, but we just had the right side done in Feb. Oh well. No car payments and repairs are a lot cheaper then buying another car! And it does get up to 30 MPG when I don't drive it over 80! lol





The back is finished! I have a lot of half used balls left over from Sarah's sweater and another I did a little bit ago and have used them on the two fronts. I really like to knit this pattern. Wish I had the brains to sit down and make the pattern large enough for me and DH. Would be a sharp looking hooded cardigan if you ask me!



Here are the two fronts. I am to the point of starting the neck shaping tonight. I have only two small balls of yarn to use up and then can open a couple of new ones for the sleeves and hood.
I have enough buttons like the ones I put on Sarah's sweater for this one. They are big enough so that Sarah will be able to button it up when she's a little bigger. And I did knit hers in a size 4 so it will last a little longer.

I had given one of these sweaters to one of my sons friends little girl a few years ago.(She was 2 at the time and very petite.) They had a house fire a week or so before Christmas and had only the clothes on their backs when it was done. They lost their 3 dogs in the fire too. There was really nothing left of the building but some timbers and rubble. It was very sad for the family to lose their beloved pets. My son helped his friend dig through the rubble and find their remains. The dogs were bought back to this area and buried on her fathers property. The couple and their daughter were renting the house and it was a wiring caused fire. Their communities came forward and really helped them out...people are so wonderful when something like that happens here in Maine. And Lydia is still wearing the sweater. Her grandmother told me it was her favorite one because the buttons were large enough that she could be a big girl and button it up all by herself!

We have had heavy rains all last night and all day today. It is still raining heavily and some of the roads in town are flooded and the police have closed off the roads. And on route 11, the road we use to go to camp, they have had a total road washout a few miles after the road we would turn off to get to our camp. The culvert is completely gone and the rushing waters have opened the little brook up to a raging river. The water has taken the huge culvert out and the state is trying to get the road closed off to all traffic from both ends..which is our little town and another small town about 35 miles from here. We only have one other road in and out of town with this one closed. What a night it will be for the hydro people and state road workers all over the state. Some places have already gotten over 4 inches of rain. We are closing in on 3.61 inches now. And it hasn't let up yet.

DS called at supper time to let us know he got a wild turkey yesterday with his shotgun. He decided not to use his bow as he didn't want to waste time and gas! He was only out of the truck a couple of minutes when her heard one. He got set up in the brush and called for them. He said it was what is called a Jake. They had some for supper last night and tonight! He said that they were getting snow over there today too. It have been cold enough up in the higher elevations for snow. Hope we don't get any...have had enough of that white s*** until December...or January 2009!

Well, I am going to go back and watch Law and Order and knit before I head to bed shortly.

KNIT ON!!
