Facts

Some truths:

A simple cold knocks me flat for 2-3 weeks.  Coughing is not indicated for my neck/head issues.  The relief I feel when it's over is immense.

Sometimes going south to get warmer doesn't work.  Sometimes the cold follows you.  It's best to be happy where you are.

Chicken doors are temperamental.  Fresh eggs are priceless. Having a friend like L who keeps your girls......all of them, chicks and felines.....safe, priceless as well.

Some sweater patterns found on Ravelry are poorly done, or simply  over the top.  Tearing out THREE times is contraindicated in a simple life.  The whole thing needs to be re-thought.  Knit simple, that's my motto.

"Altered books"  is a new medium that is incredibly addictive.  Just what I need.  Who knew retirement could be so much fun?







Oh, I'm sure there is a ton a room for improvement, but the thing with this altered book endeavor is that there are no mistakes.  You either like it, or you don't.


You can say anything to your best friends.  They get it.
"Pulling into the Kroger's parking lot.  Starts to swing into space clearly marked for PREGNANT women.   I tell her:  it's ok, you could probably get away with it.  She calls me a bitch.  We laugh hysterically."    We are that comfortable with each other.  Priceless.




Roy is the best traveling dog on the planet.


And wherever you land, he's happy.



That's the best way to be.

Well, so happy to be caught up! Glad the cold is past and your book is lovely! So you and that's really the point. I'm with Roy here, long car rides are for napping in the back seat always.
You two BFF's have a grand time. I laughed right along with you and blessings on L for keeping the home fires safe and sane.

Haha, I'm going out to find my skinny shadow! Hope you are having a fun get-away with your partner(s) in crime. Hope you shake your cold, I had bronchitis from sheetrocking and got myself better by spending 4 days outdoors snowmobiling, No not around here. We need snow, then spring. Take Care, Marilou
