Pick your seat

Go ahead, take it any way that you like but *I* am not traveling by Pick Your Seat airlines AND I am not going by Ugly Airlines either. We still have to drag our own food but isn't this country all about lowered expectations right about now? It is going to be a long day tomorrow but the weather channel (thank you, Helen) sez that we will not roast and we will not drown in Maryland. Choirs of angels are striking a chord. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh. It's all about taking things for people (anyone else need anything before I zip the suitcase?) and leaving enough room for what will be inevitable...the bringing home of OTHER things. We must balance the universe!

Patient Angela was waiting for me to finish the last thing, which was one skein of an old cellulose colorway that I concocted too many years ago. I am certainly not going to do a cellulose run for one skein and so I tossed a bunch of things on the table that day. Here is a smattering of color for your senses. Yes, it is sort of rainy here today, which will be nice for the tomatoes that will be on their own (Housesitters don't do windows OR tomatoes). Speaking of tomatoes. Want to see a picture of my Big Tomato next to my smallest plant? Do ya, huh? 12 weeks old...gulp.
Looks like a halo, eh? Well, for a Lab puppy he IS an angel...seriously. The Husband and I were discussing this last night, wondering how we got so lucky to have a pup that has only done a very few dumb things but is so contrite about getting in trouble. I can't stress the luck of having a remarkable puppy raiser companion. She runs up and reprimands him when he starts terrorizing one of the cats, putting an end to that business right away, knowing that SOMEONE is going to get hurt and both critters are her friends. Awwww, Sasha!

I leave you with a picture to tide you over until I return from the long weekend. Nighty night.

Wowza! I'm so glad you put up a picture, it's scrumptious. what are the other yarns? Do not hang with Laura - she is not a model of restraint, but she's an excellent shopper :)

Ummm, let's see...the middle one is Safari, a really inexpensive thick/thin yarn...carded cotton. The bottom one is Fatima, that really nice combo of rayon and cotton. The top one, of course, is the sister to your skein of Ringspun, which by the way is in the hands of the USPS.

Lauraaaaaaaaaaa...

Heh - Angela's one to talk about being an excellent shopper....much less model of restraint.........

Stunning - simply stunning, Ma'am. :-)

Thanks for the advice re the yfwd vs yon! I think I need to sit down and practice with yarn that isn’t so finicky to really figure out how to read the ‘propah’ pattern! I’ll figure it out and post pictures as I go (either that or you’ll see my face splashed on the cover of the
Chronicle for having committed yanicide!).

You little guy is such a sweetie - I keep showing him to my husband, trying to convince him that we really need a third dog! Second puppies really are a joy. Godiva, our chocolate, benefited from Corsa’s wisdom regarding the dog door, potty training, and “things not intended for consumption” (and as I am sure you know first hand Labs will try just about anything). The best dogs ever!

Have fun this weekend. But remember – “everything in moderation… including moderation”

Hey - I never said I was a model of restraint did I?

you keep me in stitches, Lisa. your household must be WILD!!!!! and so much fun. your husband must be a reserved man who loves you dearly and can't believe what he married....tee hee. i guess the only time you are quiet is when you Sleep???????????????????????????????

i love all the pictures of the puppy and the boss lady. my favorite is the one with the two of them on the sofa and the expression on the Baby's face.

love you all, jo
