Memorial Day

We started our Memorial Day festivities with the parade and ceremony in the town where we spend our weekends. This is our friend Scott Goetze, who was the Master of Ceremonies. Scott serves in the United States Air Force, in Niagara Falls, NY. He did a great job and we all left feeling grateful for the freedoms we enjoy every day of our lives.
So thank you to people like Scott, Adam and Ben who all have served and are currently serving our country. We are proud of you! Happy Memorial Day. And ladies, can you think of anything better than a handsome man in a uniform!

I haven't had a post since early May- not sure why- I have lots to talk about and anticipate! But not tonight. Dancing with the Stars finale tonight. Be sure to vote.
This morning I watched a piece on Randy Pausch on Good Morning America. He was so inspiring I ordered his book. But what he had to say stayed with me... "Don't let tomorrow ruin today".. something to think about.

Cake # 3

The cake decorating has come to a end. This is cake #3. Notice the lovey roses- let me tell you one thing- these little suckers are not easy to do- especially when your icing is to stiff- but they don't look to bad for my first try. This was a lot of fun, but very time consuming, between baking each week and making pounds if frosting. I hope to move on to less stressful cupcake fun. I have a few birthdays coming up so I hope to test the waters and use my newly acquired skills. So now that the May Day Swap has ended, and cake decorating is done- I have some spare time- guess I'll start another pair of flip flop socks and the Diagonal Front Jacket (doesn't Lynne look marvelous in this!)by Debbie Bliss!

Catch up

I have lots to blog about, buts lets talk about socks! The May Day Secret Sock Swap has come to a finish. These socks are making their way to someones door any day now.

And these beauties were in the mailbox yesterday! I just love them and they fit perfect. Knit in one of my favorite colors, Carole couldn't have done a nicer job. She also sent a nice bar of dark chocolate and more sock yarn! Dicentra Designs, hand dyed coloar energy- this will make a great pair of summer socks. Oh how I love sock yarn! Thank you Carole. The socks brightened a very gloomy WNY day yesterday! Like sunshine on my feet.
