hoo boy!

i got more knitting done before i retired!!


the scarf is longer ~ i stopped knitting on it when i realized that the 2nd skein was lighter in color than the first!! but,,,,,,,i feel a little better......someone ~who's used Dream in Color Classy~ told (or told-dead) me that it happened to them too and when it gets washed (and such) the colors bleed anyway and the end product is "pretty much uniform in color". let us HOPE!


been having a blast with my 3 munchkins which is why knitting has slowed :)


accidently broke one of Mom's ceramic cats...blah! i'm sure my Dad is up there going "ha!".


bought some super glue and will fix it this weekend........any one of you care to guess how many times these things have been glued???


i can still remember being at their house and one of the littles ones walking into the living room with a ceramic cat under each arm saying "got kitties" and Dad about choking because the bottom half of the cats were missing and the kid was carrying just the heads/necks!


geez........how many of the grandkids did that??


gotta hand it to Dad tho.......he never said anything.......just glued them back together ~choking back laughter of course!!

Our family's 'broken heirloom' would be the Little Red Riding Hood cookie jar. It has been glued back together so many times... undoubtedly from us as children trying to sneak cookies from it in the kitchen. I was a very cute, but short, little girl and couldn't reach the counter easily. One day, the cookie jar found a new home on top of the fridge where it stayed forever more. My mom still has it.
