Happy Birthday To Me!

How did I ever get to be this old?! (59, yikes!)  I generally get the senior discount, no questions asked, so I guess I am officially an old.

Found some photos during the move, so here are some pix from The Wayback Machine:

 Me and The B, who's wearing Dad's "punchy hat" and nothing else.  She always did know how to upstage me :-)  And B, Maddie takes after you in the naked dept.

 Spent many a birthday at the beloved Cabin (Whidbey Island)  Here I'm wearing my FAVORITE plaid pants.  Loved those pants, I thought they were the exact same pants as those worn by Archie Andrews:

FYI: these beloved pants were destroyed by my childhood nemesis, SAM EVANS, who cornered me in the Evans' front yard and ripped the leg to shreds.  Rot in hell, SAM EVANS

 The summer we had a huge salmon run at the cabin, and caught tons of fish.  And had orcas in the bay!  Love Joey's Speedos

 Easter Massacre Rabbits!

And a final photo taken at a very arty angle, out by the pool

Attack!

Tony and I tackled the "Corner of Horrors" (giant pile of yard crap. Thanks former owners) in the backyard this morning. We lasted about five minutes, then this attacked me:

Future attempts will involve this:

Moving Day!

And a long, exhausting day it's been. But everything is moved, though maybe not put in its final spot yet. And we are ready to crawl into freshly made beds. And by we I mean me. 

Pictures soon!

I Know You Are But What Am I

A customer called Cara "middle aged", which didn't sit well with my baby girl. 

Yikes what does that make ME?!

Nothing 12 year old boys don't like better than climbing on the roof

Down For the Count again

This home reno project has been a bit tough on me. I'm old. And not flexible. Today, I slipped on the stairs (not even at the new house actually) and fell and twisted my ankle. So I spent the day sitting with my foot elevated and iced. Boo. 

Hopefully I will be back up to speed (snail pace) tomorrow. Meanwhile, the team forged ahead without me and got a lot done.  Hmmm, maybe they work better without me...

Finished Something!

With all the house demo/Reno, I haven't had much knitting time. But I finally found my scissors and finished up a couple of projects

There and Back Again Socks (ignore my hairy legs, no time to shave either!):
