Ida Scarves

If you haven't yet discovered "Ida Scarves" it's a place you need to go.  My sister-in-law (a moniker I hate to add because she is so much more than that, but so you know I'm not talking about my other sister Pamela Ruth aka "baby girl Sanders" the name on her birth certificate) has created this blog along with all the amazing scarves she knits and named it after her delightful Mom, Ida.
You really should check it out here.   Her thoughts written down, sometimes in verse, are so provoking I feel she has read my mind at times, and other times I burst into laughter at the pictures she paints, or shed tears  ..  but then, that is me.   She is funny and smart and most of all so very loveable.  She is my brother's wife and although he is gone, she keeps him so much alive, which I love.

So go there soon when you have time to sit and enjoy a cup of joe or tea and prepare to giggle, think deeply and/or  just enjoy her wonderful way with words.  And oh yes!  Buy a scarf, you won't regret it as there are none other out there like them.

Too Late

 Nellie has discovered the imposter.  A large yellow lab is hanging around here and I was feeling lucky that she was laying under the dining room table (a spot she has claimed for some unknown reason) and had no idea that he had peed on our tree, marking his spot.  Now she is barking, growling and whining to go out.  Yeah right.  I don't THINK so Nellie girl.   Don't need you chasing him down the road to who knows where.  I'M not coming after you anyway, and then I'll have to explain to your Dad that I was too lazy to go after you.  She's running from the back door to the front door, sniffing and snorting, hair all raised up on her back, tail wagging .. wait, what's with the tail wagging .. that's suppose to mean she's happy right?  Whatever, I'm going to ignore her and go take the shower I was suppose to take 6 hours ago.

Who says diamonds are a girls best friend?

 I'll take the love of my hubby and an occasional bouquet of tulips over a cold little stone any day.
