We spent the weekend in Sparks (Reno) NV. Weather couldn’t have been nicer and what a nice surprise to find a park and walking path, just a block away from the TA (I-80; ex 19). The Sparks Marina Park has a lake with a 2 mile path that circumvents it. There is also a beach, playground and...

Good Job! Way to go!!

Here's attitute. You have two eyes, I have two needles. You do the math.

My husband and I have been cutting our calories a couple of ways. 1st: water is our primary drink. 2nd: we're trying to keep up our supplies of fruits, nuts, those 100 calorie bread rounds, lunch meat and other healthy foods, and keep away from fast food places. 3rd: when we do eat out we often...

Now I've lost my keys. Yet another senior moment.

I feel pretty old when we've finished a cross country run. I'm happy for any senior discount I get.

That's so gross. I have to admit I eat at the buffet sometimes because it's quick. From now on I'll live off my fat reserves.

We have a friend who has his own business. He made ours. I didn't see them on his web site, but if you ask him, I know he'll give you a price. These are metal and very strong. He specializes in making rescue equipment for fire departments. Our carrier asked us to demonstrate load...

I absolutely agree with this doctor. I've even had a senior citizen tell me that seniors shouldn't have to pay for their health care, because they (seniors) need their money for cruises and casinos!

Maybe I should learn how to crochet. But not zillions of dolies like my m-i-l.

I've never checked out Etsy.com. But I havn't made anything with the crochet thread anyway. I'll look for you at expo.

I'm bored with my knitting project, so I guess I'll whine here instead. I'm knitting a dishcloth that I just can't get around to finishing. I should throw it away and start something else, but that's not being frugal. My deceased m-i-l was an avid crafter. You could open a craft store with all...

Would you believe Layoutshooter doesn't like bacon!!? Well modern bacon, he says. (eye roll here) The last time I found bacon he liked was from McCain Farms out of West Monroe, LA. It's a small family owned business that processes their own meat. I love bacon, and the smell of bacon cooking...

Just had a great weekend in south Florida. Went to Hollywood Beach with my Mom, my sister and my niece. The temp was in the low 80's, and as you can see it was picture perfect! (These were taken with my first camera phone, and I didn't know the case I have the phone in would get in the way.)...

Has anyone read Dan Brown's new book, "The Lost Symbol", yet? Is it any good?

My mom used to make the bed dolls. I haven't thought about them for years. I don't know how to crochet. Only knit. I tried to learn crochet, but found I'm too uncooridinated. I keep the yarn in zip bags in my tote and alway wash or use hand wipes first.

I belong to ravelry but have never posted, I do go on knittinghelp.com. It's where I'm learning to knit. I did post the pic of my first afghan there. I've never looked at flickr or the blogs you mentioned, but I'll check them out. Thanks.

Great Posts! Laughter keeps us young, so keep em coming!:)

I've made a couple of yarn dolls; no knitting or crocheting involved. But I do knit. (Beginner level). Many dishcloths, a few scarves, and two afghans. I haven't attempted any clothes yet. I work out of tote bags to keep the yarn clean and my things together.

It amazes me some of the sights we see. Sometimes bad drivers. Sometimes funny signs. Today I saw an 'Oh, gross!' Several motorcyclists passed our truck. One driver, a woman, was wearing a sleeveless blouse. Her hands were holding the handlebars. As she passed us I saw her triceps...
