The things we learn

I just realized today that I can post from my phone. I don't know if that means I will be posting more or not. We'll have to see.

Happy New Year

SF Giants

We've had a great week with the Giants.
They won the World Series.
Today we went to the Parade to honor the Giants. It was fun. There were so many people there it was unbelievable.
I can't wait until next year.

NLCS

I am dying watching the Giants games. Hopefully they will win tonight and head onto the World Series.

Just LIke Jill

“Just Like Jill” Lung Cancer Campaign at The Bonnie J. Addario Lung Cancer Foundation

I've know Jill from the day she was born. Her Mother and I use to work together.

First knitted item 2010

I knit these for Brian. I was hoping to be able to give them to him for Christmas or his Birthday. I wasn't that lucky. Yarn is Cascade 220. Pattern is Dashing from Knitty.com. They are longer then I planned to make them. Doesn't matter everyone loved them.

I'm still here

I've been busy. I'll come back later to post some pictures of what I've been doing.
If I don't make it back before the week is over Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

Sunday Streets cont....

I do love the different lakes in Golden Gate Park. Here are just 2 of them. Spreckles Lake and Lloyds Lake.

Sunday Streets continued

Wouldn't you love to commute on this thing? The cycling not only moves this forward it also powers a music player. Everyone that was on this looked like they were having fun.

It was great to see the Murphy Windmill working.

Sunday Streets

Yesterday was Sunday Streets in the Sunset/Richmond Districts in San Francisco. It was tons of fun. We walked along Upper Great Highway in the fog. Thru Golden Gate Park to the Academy of Sciences. The sun came out during our walk so we have a little bit of sunburn. We ate at the De Young's restaurant. Then had fun in the gift shop.

We walked about 6.5 miles. I knew it was far but I didn't realize how far it was.

Vacation

Yea, I'm on vacation.

The Weather

I'm watching the news and seeing all these temps over 100. Here at Ocean Beach we are lucky if we hit 60. Don't get me wrong I am not complaing but it would be nice to see the sun once in awhile.

The Days March On

It is always amazing how time passes.

My online friends sent me a lovely basket of fruit and teas when my Father died. It had a teapot in it.

The bottom of the teapot says Mother's Day 2008. My Mother's last Mothers Day. I've been making tea in it the whole month.

What a wonderful way to remember my Mother.

Happy Birthday Daddy

Today is my Father's 89th Birthday. I'm sure he and my Mother are having a great celebration in heaven.

Introducing Lieutenant Brendan McGorrin SFFD

Yesterday was the Promotional Ceremony for the San Francisco Fire Department.

This is my Brother Brendan McGorrin and Fire Chief Joanne Hayes-White.

We are all very proud of my Brother.

Easter

Hope everyone had a nice Easter.

We went out for Brunch. It was a very nice day.

Scarf Exchange

Last Month was the end of the scarf exchage on Knit&Chat.

I knit my partner a Clapotis.

I do love that pattern.

I used Knit Picks yarn.

Tea Exchange

I recieved this lovely package of tea the other day.

I love exchanges.

Now to get out and buy tea to send off to my exchange partner.

It's been awhile

I keep forgetting to post pictures of what I bought at Stitches West.

I got a cute bag that carries my knitting

A pink needle sizer. It is so compact that it fits in all my knitting bags.

Glass Stitch Markers. They are so pretty.

I'm getting plenty of use from each of these items.

Stitches West

My Daughters and I went to Stitches West yesterday. We had a good time and were glad it did not rain.
