Dog vs Watchband

In case you are keeping score...

Jackson - 3

Watchband - 0

Yarn - 2

The last one was too late retrieved from under the bed - which required lifting the bed and getting between the board to get what was left of the watch band. Now we have determined that anything under 48 inches off the ground is not safe. Pretty soon we will be hanging things from the ceiling.

I forget at night when I am done knitting to put my bag on the table or hang from the chair - so we are knitting a pretty knotted skein - but usable - the fitst one he got was done for!

OK so I hear some chewing... chat later... maybe with a picture of finished socks and the other hat - 2 hours - 3 attempts - 1 hat

GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME
ALL THE TIME GOD IS GOOD

Instant Gratification in the knitting world

2 hours

1 skein

voila

OK In reality it was 6 hours and 3 skeins but who is counting

tee hee hee

Few thoughts

RANDOM THOUGHTS

• It is becoming more sensical to follow the directions.

• Dreams last long after the dance is over.

• Gardens live all year long. Either as reality or as a dream for next year!

• People are an amazing study.

• I am still of the conclusion there are two types of people:
• Ones who are caring and truly respect life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness
• Ones who do not care about anyone but themselves and manipulate the planet to spin on their axis so the definition of life, liberty and pursuit of happiness is determined by them.
• Trouble is caused when the Respectful people meet the Self-centered people - herein lies the basis for all discord... think about that for a while!

• I know a lot more about my self today than I did a year ago!

• Blue - Yellow - Red make a variety of colors - and you can decide what proportion you want in your life!

• Dogs are best at your feet and cats in your lap!

• Children may grow up but they never leave your heart!

• Yes and No are both perfectly acceptable answers to questions - and we should exercise the use of both with caution. We should also be smart enough to know when the yes has turned the corner to no. Sad part here - there is no instruction manual for this just daily learning.

• I love to be creative. I hate being repetitive. Probably why no two Tuna Noodle Casseroles were ever the same - ever! Or why no two loaves of bread were ever the same either!

• I love to create with my hands. I do not like creating the same thing over and over and over again. I like variety. Even great big trees change everyday. How did I learn this - I said I would create the same thing over and over and over again. OOOPS - seems my yes has turned the corner to no.

• Fall is here. Rain has arrived - something we wanted - and needed.

• Glad I do not live in San Diego CA - Where in the world is Carmen San Diego was a FAVORITE game on the computer when the kids were growing up and I was stellar at it!

Enough

Sleep beckons - tomorrow I get to have my post-op check on my vein surgery. The jury is still out on the second leg... hopefully thinking about this...

October if a BUSY month

Good morning world, It has been a busy month. October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and the time of the major fundraising for the organization that employees me. Needless to say the J-O-B swallowed up a good portion of September with 12-18 hour days and the recovery from the event has taken a good 10 days. I actually feel rested today.

* * * * * * * * *

Whew, I guess that I do not recover as fast as once I did.

So what is new in the last two weeks.

* * * * * * * * *

Granddaughter turned 11 yesterday! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!

* * * * * * * * *

Hot tub is up and running!

* * * * * * * * *

Garden is all about over and the deer are eating the Swiss Chard everyday!

* * * * * * * * *

I finished an odd band sock for my other Granddaughter because she likes to wear unmatched socks!

* * * * * * * * *

I needed a mindless knitting project and started a shawl last night and feel better in the head.

* * * * * * * * *

Mindless projects seem to heal the overworked brain (for me anyway)!

* * * * * * * * *

I have a friend having a commitment ceremony today in another city. I wish them both well and happiness in each day.

* * * * * * * * *

I know a lot of people born in October. Valentine season babies!

* * * * * * * * *

Did I mention Jackson has learned how to play Houdini? On one walk he escaped the harness and I came home with an empty harness stating "I could use some help out here!" The next day he was sporting a standard green neck collar. Dogs are cute but clever.

* * * * * * * * *

OK! Off to the races today. We have errands to catch up on and Monday comes fast.

* * * * * * * * *

In a small way try to understand that some circumstances are beyond our control. No matter how hard we try - things break -people get sick - plans change.

* * * * * * * * *

Learning to rock and roll with change is a valuable life lesson.

* * * * * * * * *

Learning what we cannot control is another valuable lesson.

* * * * * * * * *

Whenever you include one single Hu (Human) element in an equation the answer is different.

If you include Hu+Hu then there is more control.

In a perfect world the two humans would work in harmony.

* * * * * * * * *

Always something to consider - the Hu element!

* * * * * * * * *

I pray each day that those ahead of us and those behind us on this continuum called life learn these lessons.
