Fri. A.M. at Panera’s

Welcomed a new knitter to the area this morning, Michelle.  Some people knitted, some ate, some talked and some slurped coffee like it was going to be rationed tomorrow (RoLynn) LOL

Tomorrow will be the first Annual July 4th Celebration on the 5th at Enchanged Enchanted Yarn and Fiber.  Michelle is going to join us!  Have 26 people signed up for the eats, etc.  But, if you go an hour early, we’re going to Kool-aid dye!!!!!

After that, the grill gets fired up and the food will be on the tables.  When it’s dark enough we’ll have our fireworks celebration.

H2O Steam Clean Mop

Yes, I’m a sucker for infomercials.  I keep watching the H20 Steam Clean Mop infomercial and it looks like it works wonders.

I would like to hear from anyone that has ordered and used this mop.  I have no connection to the manufacturer, I’m just trying to get word of mouth advice - would you order it again - does it do what it claims, are you happy with it.  Or is this another one of those “looks great on TV till you try it at home”?

Flag protocol that we all should know!

As the 4th of July approaches and we are all proud Americans, this is a little knowledge for you on flag protocol.  A friend of ours did the voice over for it….please watch  it and share with everyone you know, even your children.

It gave me goose bumps when I first saw it and hubby even admitted he got a lump in his throat!

Happy 4th to All!!!!!!

Athletic Wednesday

Shot a 91 today!!!!! Yippee!!! Hopefully, that will help the old handicap come down!  Had a stupid 7 on one hole that I normally par and had I gotten that I would have had an 89.  Will keep working on it! HA!

Baby surprise jacket update————-

I need help!!! Knitting right along and realized somehow I have some stockinette stitches about 5 rows back. Feeling up to a challenge, I decided to frog just that stitch row downwards in hopes of correcting it.

It is unbelievable how stupid you can feel when you know how to do this, but it continues to be wrong.

Therefore, I’ll be going to Barnes and Noble tonight to the knitters group and beg and beg and beg for someone to help me. 

Some days the light bulb is at full wattage, other days it’s on dim, which must have been yesterday’s journey.

A voice from the past….

Got an email from hubby yesterday saying an “old” high school classmate of ours was going to be in Bowling Green last evening.  He drives a truck and whenever he ventures on I-65, he always makes sure to stop in BG and we go out to dinner and hear about “old” friends.

He and his wife were good friends of ours way back when….they still live in the area where we went to high school.

I honestly cannot imagine still living there!  Having your kids go to the schools that you went to, etc.  But it has worked for them.

Hubby chose a different route - that of a migrant worker - going where the job is.  We’ve met some wonderful friends that we still keep in contact with.

For a while, we were moving about every 4 years - I used to joke that we moved when the house got really dirty!  (Yeah, I know, it must be time to move again - the house is dirty!)

I wouldn’t change it for anything - however, our kids might not agree on that one.

After catching up on gossip about people we knew, we dropped him off at the hotel because he was leaving very early in the a.m.

As we drove away I commented to hubby: Sheesh, do we look as old as he does and wrinkly?  Then we laughed and commented that we weren’t wrinkly because our plumpness smooths out the wrinkles! Sometimes chubby can be good!!!!!

Update on Baby Surprise Jacket

Came home from the last KAL for the Baby Surprise Jacket on Thursday and felt I was on the right track.  Even knitted to row 19 Thursday evening.  Counted the stitches and lo and behold, yep, one stitch too many.

So, I put it away and decided Jan could help me at Panera’s on Friday morning.

She found my mistake and frogged back a few rows; I know I keep saying this “I think I’ve finally caught on” - however, I think I really have caught on now. 

After knitting a few rows at Panera, I came home and I’m still on row 19.

If I get to row 50, I think I’ll celebrate!

I am going to get this done….I am going to get this done….I am going to get this done, etc.

Best Summertime Sandwich in the world

Listen up readers!  I’m going to give you the recipe for the best ever summertime sandwich in the world.

Crunchy peanut butter - preferably Jif;  a yummy fresh garden grown tomato; two slices of your favorite bread.  Spread the Jif on the bread - if you’re adventurous, spread it on both slices.  Slice the garden fresh tomato and cover one slice of the bread with it - even cutting other slices in half to fill up the bread; put the other piece of bread on top of the tomato and take a big bite!

You will not believe how yummy this is!

Please share your summertime sandwiches that are to die for with me.  Thanks.

 

 

Update on Baby Surprise Jacket…..

Ah…..I think it helps if you cast on the correct number of stitches!  Yep, another frogging this afternoon.

I will conquer this project, if it kills me, or maybe I should say even if I go to the looney bin over it!

Yummy dinner, well almost!

Bought some yummy looking tomatoes at Farmer’s Market and decided tonight’s main dish would be B (bacon), L (lettuce), T’s (tomatoes).

However, when I got ready to fix the “L”, I had bought a head of cabbage instead of lettuce.  Yes, I do know the difference!  And when I felt the cabbage, I thought to myself, this is a really firm head of lettuce.

PS: I (we) didn’t care for the cabbage with the B and T!
