Christmas knit complete

         The mosaic shawl seen on website       

                        looked challenging. 

           It was. I frogged several times.

        I persevered and with help from a friend
                    figured it out eventually.



                Last bind off stitch.



    Complete except for blocking and wrapping.

I guess I am lucky?

It seems to me I must be lucky.

I rarely get sick.

I avoid doctors also.

I give blood where they send me reports on BP and Blood Sugars so I am aware of those factors.

I check for lumps and bumps regular.

I also am very aware of whats "normal" pertaining to my body.

Surprisingly a lot of people are not familiar with their own bodies and are surprised by things .

I eat as much unprocessed food as I can.

Meat from livestock I grow, veggies from my garden, fruit either I grow or local orchard.

I do not eat "organic" because as someone who lives the ag life I know its not true.

I guess I am lucky.

I also am not a hypochondriac and that helps.

I do worry that with modern society either all organic or all processed people go to extremes.

Living around animals, manure and outside influences without living in an airtight house helps also. 

People I know that live in development homes that are airtight and eat "wholesome organic food"

seem to get sick a lot.

No immunities to nature?

Just my Friday musings.

If you only knew a bit of what rolls around in my noggin you would be scared.

Old to New

Digging through our “little” room where stuff is stored I found this...

My kids loved it . The garage is on the other side where the car can drive into it. The lid lifts up to see the bed area and the dog you see is sitting in the area by the bed. The sliver of orange above the roof is a chimney that has a slide inside. There is a bell to sound and a butterfly to move around. Miss A will enjoy this I’m sure as much as the others have. Prefect toddler size, I brought out the Little People house but she’s a bit too young to appreciate it.

This weekend I’m house/dog sitting for my son while he and his family go to PA. When I arrived I found this gem waiting on me.

It’s so me and will hold my tea nice and warm.

R and I went to an open house at a shop near us. I love these towels that came home with me. They open up with another panel but they don’t fit on my stove handle full size. I wanted to show you the red stripes.

Somehow these jumped in my truck too. They have a greenish cast to them. They didn’t photograph well as it’s getting dark earlier now.

Back to going through stuff and purging. Too bad it will take 20 years to make a dent. 

Well she makes the rules...

                  Miss A decided the hat and 

                        bag was just too much. 

       Didn’t matter a bit because she was

      the cutest Strawberry Shortcake ever.

                   Her sass cracks me up.

         I try not to let her see it but it’s there.

                            Lordy help us!
