Why?
Mood:
incredulous
Now Playing: The High Fiber Diet Podcast
Why does a two year old look this great first thing in the morning?
Why does a three year old wear a plastic container on her foot for an entire morning?
Can you tell these two are cousins? Man they look alike!

One bored three year old and two empty laundry baskets...
This was after we had a lovely morning outside catching snowflakes on our tongues. Onya says they taste like icing! She also loved making tracks in the snow on the trampoline.

Spinning
Mood:
celebratory
Topic: Knitting
I have become a spinamaniac! Katie's modeling an alpaca hat made from fiber graciously (yeah right) donated by her alpaca Colosus. I love spinning and it has become quite the thing for me to do in order to get some "me" time.

Stitch and Pitch, Pittsburgh
Mood:
bright
Now Playing: Handy Manny...
Topic: Knitting
Cathi, her hubby Mel, Wayne and I attended Stitch and Pitch at the Pittsburgh Pirates game. The Pirates lost but we had a super time. Got a lovely sunburn, the rain held off and much knitting done. Met some lovely knitters and some gals doing crochet, had lovely chats and even got to eat supper out! Many thanks to my wonderful daughter Jackie for taking charge at home!

Oreos
Mood:
bright
Now Playing: Peace and Quiet !
Topic: Babies
I've been so terrible at keeping up with my blog this summer. We recently adopted our ten year old Sierra and got a new foster placement. D is a cute little nine year old who keeps me quite busy. She's decided she is staying with us so I think adoption number five will take place sometime next summer...
Mike, Karrie and Kat came up to visit for the 4th. Kat had a great time eating Oreos on Thursday night with the girls. She's growing up so darned fast.

Beth and Matt at the Prom
Mood:
bright
Topic: Family
My 17 year old, Beth went to her first Prom on Saturday night. Didn't she look just beautiful? My older daughter Jackie's former college roomate, Aquila had the sari made for us last summer while she was home visiting India. Beth lived in Pakistan until she was three and we wanted to show off her Indian beauty! Matt's (her date) mom researched the internet to find the correct type of flowers to go with her dress and they were wonderful, several types of orchids and grasses. Beth had a fantastic time and is just now catching up on all the sleep she missed.
