They come in all shapes and sizes.
They come in all different temperments.
They can always share your genes and your jeans.
They always remind you to wear your helmet.
They never ever shut up.
They are the best friends one could ever have.
They have always got your back. They are the only ones allowed to stab it.
They are the only [...]

A Gardening Story
Posted in Blessing from God, my island on February 26, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
I am longing for summer and flowers and fog. Yes I said fog. A lot of places are dry in the summer. Not good ole Cape Island. We have enough fog to water anything that needs watering. I love to spend hours gardening and find it so amazing when a seed blooms into a flower. [...]

Thank you God for grandchildren. Thank You that they visit and thank you that they eventually go home.
Thank You that Austin gets to spend every weekend here and doesn’t have to go “thirty weeks without seeing” us. Thank You that Randy and I can pretend that he is coming to see us and that we [...]

God has blessed me with a bunch of …*ahem*…interesting siblings. I love the whole bunch of them. We have been through a lot together. Some of our fights have been real tantoasters. Each one of us has had a rinctum; or three. When the chips are down though, we stick together. Heck we even hotfoot [...]

I am working on this as a gift for someone. It is taking me forever but I think it will be nice when I get it finished. How large the end product is will depend on my yarn supply.
Today is a day to sit back and knit and make this little gift grow…that is unless [...]

I woke up to this this morning. The whole island is draped in snow.
The kids have had 3 and 1/2 days if school out of the last 16. By lunch time we had lost power. I managed to keep warm by donning flannel pj’s, a sweatshirt, and fuzzy slippers. I climbed on the cross trainer with [...]
Ahh Mom Do I have to?

Sometimes the kids help me out by modeling what I am making. I make a lot for other people. Sometimes the measurements look a bit odd to me and the style is not to my taste. The kids often let me use their body to see how the end object will look.
Jade is not exactly [...]
Knitting

I love it.
When I die and go to heaven, I hope God wants me to knit stuff for people. I like to invent patterns but I don’t write down how I did it. That leaves me with a lot of ’1 of a kind’ projects.
My kids are tired of knit stuff unless I come up [...]

I look around and I am amazed with all I have been blessed with.
I have a wonderful husband who has been at my side through good and bad times. We met over 28 years ago and have been by each other’s side ever since. Neither of us had a nickle in our pockets. All we had to give [...]
