Thank you Bloglesshopefullysoon2beblogger Linda!!!! :) :)
We returned from the beach! What a glorious and LOOOONG weekend it was! We saw elk!
and enjoyed a beautiful sunset from the house we were staying in!
Played on the beach...
Happy Tuesday!
Happy Birthday L-B!!
I thought label tampering was illegal!!!
Have a great weekend everyone! We are off to the beach this weekend and are taking two, yes TWO days off from work to do so!!! Yippy Skippy!!!
Happy Knitting!!
like the first morning
Blackbird has spoken, like the first bird
Praise for the singing, praise for the morning
Praise for the springing fresh from the word
Sweet the rain's new fall, sunlit from heaven
Like the first dewfall, on the first grass
Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden
Sprung in completeness where his feet pass
Mine is the sunlight, mine is the morning
Born of the one light, Eden saw play
Praise with elation, praise every morning
God's recreation of the new day.

And this is why I live where I live.
I had to work today.
Look what was waiting for me at home from Mr. NK! The kitty is wearing a little hand knit sweater! It is way too cute!
It's a blank notebook for my knitting notes!
Mr. NK is a keeper!!
I heart him!
Thank you all for your Birthday wishes for my dad!! You are the best! He posted a "thank you" in the comments section, too!!! And yes, he probably can text-message...he definitely can manipulate a spreadsheet like nobody else I know!!
It's been a busy week here at Chez NK! Most importantly, we had a birthday!!! My dad turned 90!!! Wow! In case you're bedazzled by these two young men, that would be my dad to the left...Doesn't he look awesome!
Jill and Laurie...you might remember them from Thanksgiving last year.
And some knitting occurred over the last couple of days, too.
I turned the heel and finished the gussett on my Great Pumpkin Halloween socks!
And cuz we love picots here at chez NK...here's a little something-something to keep you happy!
I think I was at the same Pumpkin Patch as Jen! Yum! Hmmm. You'll notice Jen's was King Size...I'm having Reese's Pumpkin envy...
Look what else is growing!
It's the Great Pumpkin Halloween kit from Wool Girl!
What's growing in your Pumpkin Patch?!
Done, done, done!!!
The Pagoda Lace socks are done!
Specs:
On another note, there are two of these signs a few blocks from each other near home...Mr. NK and I don't know what they mean. I think of a particular someone everytime I drive past them.
Any ideas?
The day started off a little green-eyed, but I quickly got over that monster after talking to Linda and L-B while they were at Stitches!! Twice!! I swear to goodness, I haven't heard such a gaggle of giggles in an age!
To top off the day, more giggles were to be had up at Tina's...So, what do a fiber artist and a neuroknitter do on a glorious Saturday afternoon?
We graffitied her pod...
The blind vandal...I mean graffiti artist...perhaps?
What? You've never seen sock graffiti before? You're not in Kansas anymore...this is Blue Moon territory!
I believe there might even be a face in that moon if you look hard enough...
Not bad for first timers, huh!? We laughed so hard I bet they heard us at Stitches!!
with envy I am!!!
L-B is at stitches with Wendy. Kaci is with Debbie (ok, so they're working, they're still there)... and Linda is going to hook up on Saturday...
...Well, pretty for sure she'll track down L-B.
And keeping in mind six degrees of separation...and given that all the parties are at the same dang event...
Well, you get the picture...Even my Blue Moon bag is green with envy!
Sigh.
