Soooooooooo much going on.....lots of pics!

 Hey everyone.  How are yall doing?  I have had so much going on I have a ton of pics for you so buckle up and get ready!


First.....Paige went to the Lakehouse last weekend so as continuation of last weeks post, I had the grand dogs most of the early portion of last week.  Here are the knuckleheads and some pics from Paige's vacation:















Then.......all the world was right again as my boy was home!



Lupe started a new job last Monday as forklift operator....look how sexy he is with his forklift!




I got my nails done:


and we (mostly Lupe but I really did help) trimmed trees for bulky item pick up:




As you can see, I worked on my Virus Shawl.  I have new yarn coming in so I really want to finish this one.  I have about 2 more repeats left.....I did A LOT this past week (about 3-4 repeats).  Here is my progress.  I think I started the week at approx 110 grams









I also worked (very little) on my socks!



and I ordered more Must Stash Yarn.....in Sedated colorway.  I love it!


We went to visit our moms:



Lastly, some more new stash enhancements arrived.  One is the new yarn to start another Virus Shawl and some cotton for some more top down pullovers.





That is all I have.  I hope you all have an amazing week!






Happy Happy Happy Knitting!

So Much Food.....and my dog grand babies!!!

 Hey everyone.  I hope you had a fabulous week!  I had a week full of food and my grand dogs!  LOL!


First, my dad went to Boudros with his siblings (his youngest sister's birthday) and I snagged this pic of the non birthday sisters.  Aunt Chris and Aunt Susanna!



Then, my dad took me and Aunt Patti (my mom's bestie, no blood relation but we still call her Aunt Patti) to La Frite.  I had never been there and it was DELICIOUS!  My dad got mussles and I got steak.  Aunt Patti got a crepe.





Then, Lupe took me out for a date night/afternoon.  We watched Oddessy at the movies and then went to La Nicha.  The food was soooooo good, I forgot to get a pic of my food before it was almost gone.  I got a shrimp salad and Lupe got a shrimp plate.  He bought me gorgeous flowers and a balloon.







Then, dad took me and Aunt Patti to Fish City Grill.  I tried oysters for the first time!



I was mind blowm they are absoluetly tasteless!  I had another shrimp salad, Patti had the Sea Bass and dad had shrimp tacos.





As far as knitting....I finished my sweater!!!  Yahoo!!!

On mannequin    



Then I felt like Christmas in July so I started some socks.  This is Must Stash Bumbles Bounce yarn.  I love it!



It was also that time to get my grand dogs for the year.  Paige went to the Lakehouse on Saturday so she took Jackson (because he is the goodest boy) and brought me Jazz and Texas.  I cannot tell you through this computer screen how large Texas is......he is so huge!  LOL!  Here are some pics:










That is all I have so I leave you with pics of my Jackson playing with Amira and being a bum at the lake....LOL!!!  Have a great week!
