What’s the next number in this sequence? 42 43 275 XXX Two points if you can get it without google. p.s. The photo and the question have nothing to do with each other.

Here’s all the update I can think of with respect to Sam* 1. The Contest ends next week. (That means that Diane, Liz, Linda, Bekah and Barb have all ready lost.) x x He is really fun to watch romp in the woods. He has an awareness, self-awareness, that there’s a log or a ledge that…

Summer is over.*** For some people, it’s the start of school (which should be in the fine New England tradition of after Labor Day. The August 20 start is just weird.) For others, it is Labor Day itself which signifies the End of Summer. For me: I know I haven’t been posting much lately,…

As I was going through the photos for yesterday, I thought (to myself) “Wow, Lucky is really going to have to get his game on if a wee 14 week old puppy can get Sam dirtier than a full grown year-old yellow lab.” And Sam and Lucky went for their normal walk romp in the…

Gayle don’t feel sorry for Ned, he is a genuine attention seeker. He told me that’s his goal in life, “to supersede all blog posts about knitting. Because life without the lime light is just too boring.” When he was a wee kitten, I was over watching the super bowl and it was a really close and great game. I was sitting on the edge of my seat and leaning very far forward because it was a nail bitter and at the end there was a shockingly great play, by the team I was rooting for, I started to cheer and at that same exact moment Ned launches from the back of the couch and digs his four razor sharp claws into my back. I jumped to cheer and yelp at the same time. Tell me he didn’t think about that and strategize that jump!
