Fixing the Mess

 I knit alot.  It's one of the things that makes me happy.  It's  comforting and relaxing (unless of course I have made a mistake and have to unknit it to fix the mistake.)

You've all met Simba.  He's a cat that is anything but lazy.  Unlike his sister, Nala, who is the lazy cat...also the timid cat.  She's  very relaxed all the time.  He is inquisitive.  NOSEY.  He likes to get into things. . .my yarn.  The other day I awoke to this. . .

So with patience (sort of) and perserverance I was able to fix this mess.  It only took me about an hour to remedy this problem. . .

And all the while "you-know-who "was sleeping.

Yep!!  My cat.  What a treasure!  

I love my cats!!!

~~~^j^~~~

Thanks be to God!

The Alpaca

Today I join Meri for Share the Joy Thursday.   For I believe we need to find it in my life every day no matter the realities in which we live.  God is Good in so many ways even in times of trial.

Joy comes in many forms.

And this day has the potential of

being just as grand as

celebrating the beauty in

the alpacas at
The Woods

I must be open to it!

Knitting is something my mother taught me when I was 12 years old and for that I am truly grateful!!

It brings me joy, satisfaction and appreciation of God's nature.  The yarn with which I am knitting this prayer shawl is alpaca from the WhiteViolet Center at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods here in Indiana.  The yarn is a blend of two alpacas, Basilide and Linden.  Oh!  The joy this brings!!!

The Joy in Tea Talk

I'm having...Iced peach tea.  IT's gonna be another scorcher today...

My teacup... a simple glass full of ice.

I'm feeling... ready to go, I guess.  Only two more days until the LONG WEEKEND!

On my mind...a long weekend in which I have a long list of things I'd like to get done in the yard and to the house.  And there are fond memories of the weeks past that have caused this need to WORK this weekend.

Lovely Old House in downtown St. Charles, MO

And it's for sale!

Please join Ruth at Tea Talk today.

Today I also join Meri for Share the Joy Thursday.   For I believe we need to find it in my life every day no matter the realities in which we live.  God is Good in so many ways even in times of trial.

Joy is the finished afghan!  And why it took me so long to finish is beyond me!

Thanks be to God!!!

~~Mosaic/Macro Monday~~

A crisp day with snow covered lawns at 

Saint Meinrad Archabbey.  A grand place

to gather with Sisters of Providence, Assoicates,

and Candidates.  We shared a meal, witnessed a

commitment renewal, and spent time in 

conversation and reflection.  Twas a wonderful

 way to spend the Lord's Day!

 
The baby afghan for wee Xavier is begun
and will be finished in time for his arrival
in March.

~~~^j^~~~
Thanks be to God!!

Now please visit Mary at The Little Red House and share in the beauty offered there.   Lisa at  Macro Monday  also has much to offer.  The pictures are grand.
