It's hard to understand

As mentioned before a person I have known for 50+ years is making a fundamentally bad decision.  He is picking a person that he doesn't really know over his family.  He is leaving his entire family including grandchildren so that he can be sexually satisfied.  I don't understand.  He refuses to see a pyschiatrist because there is nothing wrong with him everyone else is wrong.  It is tearing me apart trying to understand this.  Do you feel sorry for him or hate him?  Do you offer him help or write him off? My spell check isn't working so I apologize for the misspellings.

50 + years lost in a blink of an eye

It's interesting when you know a person for over 50 years and find out that the person isn't the person he pretended to be. I don't believe that I've been mislead and betrayed like this before.  Strength of standing up to people is not one of my strong suits.  Curling into a ball and trying to disappear usually works but this time I don't think it will.  This person has lied to his family and sees nothing wrong with it.  Everything seems to be caused by somebody else.  Nothing this person has done was brought on by him.  Intelligence is not one of his strengths but stupidity appears to have won the battle of the brain.  Maybe the organ that won is lower than his brain.  The next few weeks will be interesting,  Thanksgiving is the first big test, the aforementioned person is not invited to the family dinner.  Maybe they have a free dinner in Mobile that will be available.  Enough for now, another rum and coke should help.  Stay tuned.

Knitting and losing weight

I started a new page and on it made the comment that I wanted to write a diet book on knitting and losing weight because it is very difficult to eat and knit at the same time.  Eating can be done as I have found when knitting at Barnes and Noble and eating one of their tasty sugar cookies.  At home you can drink wine and knit but have to put the knitting down after the 3rd glass.  Also make sure the wine matches the color of the yarn that you are using in case of an accident.
Started knitting again about ten years ago and since moving to Texas knit at least 2 times a week with a group.  Most of my yarn has been found at garage sales and thrift stores.  You can find very good quality yarn unlike the yarn at the local big box craft store.  Buying yarn this way also leaves you more money for chocolate.  Guess the diet book is never going to get written.  Taking knitting to the local Y works sometimes as long as you use circular needles so you don't get stabbed if you fall.  The bicycle is really the best thing to do while knitting, the treadmill kind of works but is a little more difficult.  Doing weights or the rowing machine is impossible.  Maybe I will explore all of the places you can knit and participate in an activity.  Thanks for reading my rambling.  Will try to post more blogs and let you know how the weight loss is going.

July 17- Just got back to Texas after 10 days in Colorado.  I wondered how hard it would be to come back to the heat and my home here but it was easy.  Luna is such a joy and so smart.  I really missed her, she would have had so much fun in the mountains but no dogs allowed in the condo.  It was really hard to breathe in the altitude.  In the past I had a little trouble but it was really bad this time so will probably ask the doctor if there is anything I can do to make it easier. 

Now I need to get busy losing weight, getting stronger and getting crafty.  Also have to get in touch with the family I want to help and get started on that so I can make some extra money.

Enough for now.  

July 1st and we've had 4 days of 100+ temps.  Not looking forward to any more.  Colorado is hot also. 

Tis May Tis May the Lusty Month of May.  Song from Camelot is always my start to May.  When I lived in the North country May was my favorite month.  The snow was gone, the trees were budding out, the grass was green, the flowers were coming up it was beautiful.  Here it looks like April will be the best month.  Bugs, bugs everywhere, not a plant is safe.  Hopefully a little spray will help.

April Showers Bring Mosquitos

Having family over Saturday evening so need to KILL a bunch of mosquitoes. Who knew mosquitoes was es wish I knew the rule governing that. 
Working on a lot of knitting.  Finished two scarves and one hat.  Why do you change the f to a ves?  I love English. 
Started another scarf (notice the f) but it seems too wide so may frog it and start over, the yarn cost $18 so need to do something that will justify the cost.
