“I Love Playing the Harmonica”

Definitely my favorite quote of the day… shouted out by a coworker. I work with some interesting people.

Tomorrow DH is heading off for the weekend. Aaaah, just me and the dogs, the cat and a stack of movies. I am so looking forward to unwinding. I picked up Twist again this week, I’d put it down for a while. I was on a brainless meditative dishcloth binge, but I’m back and ready to knit.

I just ordered my gocco replacement part so will not be printing up the storm I’d hoped to this weekend

My List for this weekend

Potluck Friday at friend’s
Pedicure
knit some more of Twist
Visit my LYS for a book signing
Buy yarn
Cut denim skirt to less Branch Davidian length and add patchwork bias binding on bottom
Pick green beans from garden for Salade Niçoise
Lay on hammock and read the pile of magazines I picked up for the weekend… I am a magazine freak
Sew wrap skirt (if I’m not too lazy)

Please note that this weekends list of things to do while DH is away is all about quiet, regeneration and beauty, unlike the home improvement, chore laden ones of the past two years. Finally the pay off for all the hard work.

Cherry Fried Pie

We had so much fun at our party the other night that this is the only photo I managed to shoot. The brisket, Roscoe, the bluegrass, and the fried pies (above) all a big hit. People were all about the buttermilk fried pie… none left. Our guests were shoving pies into their purses and pockets as they left.

Our friend Henry arrived at 3 o’clock in the morning to start the fire for smoking the brisket…3 o’clock folks! Next year we’ll start later so he can get here at a more civilized hour and we can take advantage of the cooling off in the evening. The fireflies were amazing… so many this year.

Oh, and you can now call me council woman… elections were Saturday and I get sworn in tonight. What a trip….off to pull a dress out of the closet, it’s like school picture day.

People were all about the buttermilk fried pie… none left. It was pretty hot and many of our guests were squeezing our party into already chock full weekends. May is so busy.
