July 02 KniTTing stich by stitchLike I said in my last blog, I haven’t really said anything about me in a long time. Well, I’ve been home for 2 weeks and I don’t go back to school until the middle of September so her I goooooooooooo…………………. Two years ago I began knitting and I stuck to washcloths for a long time because they were quick, colorful and I practiced many different new kinds of stitches in a small and manageable kind of project. I made scarves too and this year I made quite a few caps for the men in my life, friends and family. So more recently I challenged myself with a baby blanket and then made a yoga mat cover and freelanced a little silk lined bag with left over yarns. I really enjoyed that a lot. It all started with the orange and blue zipper that I couldn’t resist.
I just started making my first shrug and I hope that this summer I make my first pair of comfy and cozy socks. I thought I would do a sweater this summer but at the rate I’m going that might be put on the back burner, plus the cost of the yarn will be a major investment. I guess eventually I’ll be a good little knitting blogger and put the link to the pattern in the blog. I’ll have to work on that one. June 28 Coming SooN I have a lot to blog. I just need to take the time to upload pictures and say something. Right now it's late and I can't sleep cause it's so hot. Today for some reason the temps were over 100F. We have been in June Gloom all month that is lots of overcast and no sun. The heat is a shock to my system and I turned the oven on to cook. That was a mistake. Anyhow my term ended 2 weeks ago and I've been to a graduation, the Lavender Festival, and graduation/retirement dinners. I feel like a little social butterfly ~ I even got all dressed up and did some dancing too. I made myself a long "Honey Do List" and I have an appointment to blog something about myself. Caroline is well but I had to lay low for a couple of days to recharge her battery. Or I could say I needed and took a couple of mental health days. Sometimes I just want to sit and breathe and do a lot of nothing. Well, I did it and I needed it. It was a good thing!

May 10 BleSSing Mothers
Blessing Mothers Bless you, Mothers, for being expressions of divine love and caring. With love and gratitude, I offer my blessing for all mothers today. "Bless you for your expressions of warmth: for hugs, caring, laughter, and understanding--and for the freshly baked cookies that brought us together in shared moments of comfort and joy. "Bless you for expressions of respect: honoring our own traditions, valuing humanity in all its array, teaching lessons of generous giving and open receiving, being not just tolerant, but understanding of and for diversity. "Bless you for steadfast influence. Should we be together now or be connected through indelible memories, I am grateful to you for your enduring love. Whether you are my mother through birth or have been honored with this role through life's circumstances, we are blessed to be family." "The man named his wife Eve, because she was the mother of all living."--Genesis 3:20 Inspired by this message? Want to talk to friends about it? Share your thoughts here.

I took my last final last Thursday and I’m on a 10 day Spring Break. The Spring Term starts on 06 April for me and I’m good to go….paid my tuition, bought my books and parking permit too. I’m taking Abnormal Psychology and Statistics for Behavior Health. I’ve already begun to read the books, it’s funny I’m actually excited about the Statistics class, do I sound a little warped or what? HaHa I’m still knitting like crazy and started that baby blanket yesterday. I’ve made caps and a lovely mobius scarf. I also just finished a really nice cap made from wool and silk yarn. I found a pattern for it online and it’s being used to make beanies for the troops overseas. It is big and fits someone with a good size head so I’m sending it to my brother Tom in Georgia….he’s a retired Master Sergeant from the Army and it should look good on him riding his Harley. I just bought 2 new pairs of aerobic shoes and made a contract with myself to walk/run on weekends. I can get lazy about it but I’ve got to keep my heart happy and healthy and exercise works. It keeps my mood in an even keel too……..anyhow life is good and I am well…..Thank you God! March 08 My celli shots on the walk ~It's truly a lovely Southern California day and I took a few shots with my cell phone during the walk. Nicho and my grandson Abel, Jr. posed for one shot. We have had sufficient rain for the wildflowers to return to the hills. Last year the hills stayed brown and never bloomed, for me that was sad and disappointing. I love to see the hills covered in a carpet of pinks, lavenders , yellow and white wildflowers. This year the hills are in their true glory and what a spectacular sight.
I haven't said much about me lately and that is because this term has been rough. I'm always studying for a mid-term and writing papers. I feel like I need to come up for air sometimes. Only two weeks left in the term and then I will take finals. I'm looking forward to 10 days off for spring break before the Spring Term begins. In between projects I give myself knitting time and I've made a couple of knit watchcaps and a moebius scarf. The scarf is really nice and I knit it with a novelty yarn made in France. The caps are knit with fine yarn from Italy. I'm ready to start knitting my first baby blanket for a young lady. It's knit in the round and I think it will make a nice present and enjoyable for the mother and child too since the yarn is fine cotton yarn. A few blogs back I was all excited because I won a bid that I placed on eBay for some hemp yarn from Thailand. Well it arrived and it's just sitting in the box because I haven't decided what to do with it yet. My aim was to knit shopping bags or a really neat funky bag for everyday use. That is on the back burner right now. I got sick with the flu a few weeks ago and boy did that cramp my style. Good grief, I breathed in some really noxious fumes from a dry cleaners as I drove by and it asphyxiated me and I got real sick from it. I called and complained to the So. Ca. Air Quality Control people because that kind of thing is not right. I've noticed that they have cut way back on the amount of fumes coming out of their exhaust.....well they should the buggers.

February 20 You have got to see this :pFebruary 05 L o v e ~ is the greatest power
Treatment for the Expression of LoveToday I bestow the essence of Love upon everything. Everyone is lovely to me. My soul meets the soul of the universe in everyone. Everything is beautiful, everything is meaningful. This love is a healing power touching everything into wholeness, healing the wounds of experience with its divine balm. I know that this Love Essence is the very Substance of Life, the creative Principle back of everything, flowing through my whole being, spiritual, emotional, mental, and physical. It flows in transcendent loveliness into my world of thought and form, ever renewing, vitalizing, bringing joy, harmony, and blessing to everything and everyone it touches.
January 22 ~ ~ ~ O b a m a n o s ! ! !I woke up this morning to this headline in msn...."Obama signs to close Guantanamo" OMG I said, "
"F&#K it's about TIME..... Obama you are brilliant and this has bloody made my day. We have been policing the world for too long and out sourcing torture. Get A Grip and stop, well I think that is what Obama is going to
do. Americans have never stood for that sort of thing, not that it doesn't go on but we can see to it that it stops.
We are definitely on the right track with this measure.
Those Afhghanistan prisoners were chained and hooded in a squatting position and flown to Cuba in that condition. It is unbelievable that
that sort of thing takes place because it is pure torture, some of them were young boys who where were severely tortured too. I continue to ask what was the root cause of 9/11, why are those Muslims so angry with us. But no we attack and bomb their ass. Geez, let the dialogue begin!
By the way I wrote the White House on Monday for the first time in my life. Truly we are entering the 21st Century with a new vision of
hope and unity in this country. I haven't felt like this since I was a kid and Kennedy entered into office. I'm not sure everyone feels my
optomism but I do and I'm only one and let it begin right here with me. YES! January 11 The Lonesome Death Of Hattie CarrolCHARLOTTE HALL, Md. - William Zantzinger, a wealthy Maryland landowner whose fatal beating of a black barmaid was recounted in a Bob Dylan protest song of the 1960s, was buried Friday. He was 69. Zantzinger died Jan. 3. His family did not provide further details of his death, the Brinsfield-Echols Funeral Home said. The tobacco farmer served six months and was fined $500 for manslaughter in 1963 for striking the 51-year-old barmaid with his cane for taking too long to serve him a drink. Hattie Carroll later died of a stroke. In the "Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll," Dylan criticized different standards of justice meted out to whites and blacks. Zantzinger was allowed to delay the start the sentence two weeks so he could harvest his tobacco crop and served the time in the Washington County jail, working in its kitchen. "There is something wrong with this city when a white man can beat a colored woman to death and no one raises a hand to stop him," the Rev. Thomas C. Jackson said in his sermon at Gillis Memorial Church the Sunday after Carroll's death. News accounts at the time said Zantzinger had been seen drinking with his wife at a dinner before a ball. While dining, Zantzinger told jurors he began hitting waitresses with the cane. "I'd been smacking — tapping — waitresses on the tail, and they didn't say anything. I was just playing," Zantzinger told the jury in Hagerstown, where the case was tried. "I had no other purpose than to have a good time," Zantzinger testified. "The last thing I intended was to harm or injure anyone. I never even thought about it." Zantzinger, who later became a foreclosure auctioneer, didn't answer questions about Dylan's song for years. In 2001, he spoke with Dylan biographer Howard Sounes about the singer, saying he "should have sued him and put him in jail. (The song is) a total lie." Larry Jenkins, a publicist for Dylan, said the songwriter was not available for comment. Copyright 2009 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.
