Two Things...

July 14th was my son Jonathan's Birthday. He is 23 years old and at university. I am very proud of him.

Jonathan Michael

He's back in Michigan with all my mom's family so I don't have to worry too much. He's got a lot of support.

For instance, when Jon's van broke down, my first cuz Freddie (sitting across from him) gave Jon his old Mercedes. So I'm driving a Honda and my son is driving a Mercedes. Cool !

Oh, the other thing...

Happy belated Bastille Day !

That's all folks.

Just Some Pretty Pictures...

Or, this is what happens when a blogger's camera comes up missing
(no, I really don't want to talk about it).

It's Time for a Blog Break !!!

I'll be back sometime in June...

Happy Mother's Day Everyone...

and Happy Belated Mother's Day also !!!

What Is It About That CPH ?

Thanks to Cicicarry and Cajtalk at 2Sistah's That Knit for encouraging me to join them in their mini KAL of the CPH. I'd thought about knitting the CPH since I saw it and especially when it seemed almost everyone was knitting it. There was a real CPH fever going on.

The funny thing is, I always thought there were sooooo many other hoodies that looked better than the CPH and yet, I knew I had to make it. I like the CPH, it's cute, easy to make but why is it so popular ? Hmmm. In any case, I've bought my yarn and have cast on.

Cici and Caj are knitting theirs together, keeping just about the same pace, piece by piece. That sounds like fun to me. How nice to have a sister to knit with all the time.








Hoodies, we gotta have em' !!!

Almost There...

My Aran Placed Cable is just about finished. I actually only have 1/4 of a sleeve to go before having this project finished. I should be posting pix's in the next week or so.

An Excellent Coffee no Matter What Brand You Choose...

I'm referring to the Costa Rican Tarrazu (preferably whole bean). I've been drinking this for just over a year and have not one gripe about this coffee. I tried it in Starbucks one day and was hooked. I would qualify it as a medium-dark roast. It's more aromatic and deeply flavored than many other Central and South American coffees.

If you've tried it, give a holla !!!
