A generation gap regarding Facebook.

I have come to the conclusion that facebook is a social network for a different generation. I won't say younger...I refuse to play that card, just different. I don't understand why I would need or want to know that a friend of an acquaintance of my nephew's wife went to coffee (and enjoyed it) with another friend (who she graduated with 15 years ago and hasn't seen or spoken with since). My generation doesn't use it for anything...well, some of us kicking and screaming so that we can know what is going on in our children's lives. Kids like mine really don't use it either though, so there goes that rationale. I got on so that I could be part of the family and know what was going on. I have an incredibly hard time figuring out where things came from or how to get to the place to answer them.

I know I am not the MOST techno savy person on the planet, but neither am I the most dense. I just don't get it. (Now MySpace made sense to me..but everybody left there.)

I have gotten into one really good scrabble game with Jay, but it is so ssssssssssllllllllllllloooooooowwwwwwwww moving I want to pull my hair out. There are no tiles left, I still have 4 and we are tied. We have been playing for a week now. I tried to start another couple, but those pooped out really fast.

So, basically I think I am about to pull the plug on Facebook. It is too frustrating.

Latte foam

I can not make anything like this art. I can however make absolutely beautiful, thick, rich wonderful foam. I love my ancient espresso machine. It is a renovated Starbucks Estro Vapore. I have had it for 11 years! I usually only make one latte a day. Now and then I go crazy and make

two. Sometimes, I take it with me when I travel and make wonderful foam and lattes for my friends. It is crazy how happy it makes me to make foam, makes me even happier to feel it on my lips as I drink the rich lovely espresso it is cloaking and keeping warm. The grand finale is sharing the foam at the bottom of the cup with my dogs!

MORE SNOW!

Enough already!!

It isn't sticking to the roads, they are just wet, but it has fallen all day long! This accumulation is from a different storm, but you get the picture...

Urge to cast on!

500 grams of natural wool from the sheep of a friend!

I am so excited and will begin the gauge swatch tonight...

It is a beautiful warm beige. I will make a sweater for layering...

Greg asked; "What if you don't wear it?" It isn't about wearing it anyway. What it is about is working with the fiber. Wearing it is a bonus. If I don't like what I make, I will take it apart and make something else. Maybe a vest for him! Like he says, I get more knitting out of a skein than anyone he has ever seen.

Beautiful project

I love my latest project! They are Alchemy merino wool and silk. Lovely to work with and oh, so cozy to wear!

What fun!

Jameson was over on Wednesday. He was in a goofy playful mood, so we had fun with my camera. He is giving me a "muss" for the camera.

GOD BLESS AMERICA

What a day. No matter who you voted for in November, the events of today are historic and emotional. I spent most of my youth in the south, the child of parents who worked hard to teach that all of us are created equal. I am glad that the shadow of racism is moving off of the face of America. I am hopeful for the new president, but I am always hopeful on inauguration day. It is like the first day of school, the first day of baseball season, the birth of a child. All the world is waiting for what is to come. GOD BLESS AMERICA.

Not again!

An update on Kula. She had an ACL reconstruction in April which she has fully recovered from. On Christmas day, she was romping in the yard with the other dogs and blew the other one. It was confirmed yesterday by the ortho vet who will do the surgical repair. Dr. Iverson of Evergreen Veterinary Hospital. He was very pleased with the first repair and seems to think that if this goes as well, we may return to agility. In the mean time, I have set up equipment in the rec room above the garage and am going to get busy with the other dogs! I have three who I can begin the basics.
