SOUTH BY SOUTHWEST
Lenny decided to volunteer his services to South by Southwest this year. He is helping the bands set up at a bar called Spills on 6th Street. Wednesday he got home at 3:30 a.m. and Thursday was 4:00 a.m. Needless to say he was a little tired and a little hard of hearing after the loud bands. He works tonight (Saturday). He helped set up Los Lonely Boys on Thursday which was pretty cool.

Knitting Update



As I noted in an earlier post that I took a knitting class last Saturday. In the class I learned to Perl. I had already started this scarf with a regular stitch. Very eager to perl I decided to make up my own pattern.

Day Light Savings Time

HURRAY IT'S HERE! One of my favorite times of the year is when we "spring" forward. It also wouldn't be the same if we didn't party at the Aston's with friends to bring in this exciting time. The tradition is always stuffed mushrooms which are yummy and lots of cocktails of course. Besides this special day we celebrate Loy's birthday. He's so lucky to share his birthday with day Light Savings Time!


Enjoy the extra hour!

Loy & LaNell's famous stuffed mushrooms and hot peppers! YUMMY

Knitting 101 Training




I attended a Knitting class yesterday at JoAnn's Fabric. I really enjoyed the class. I was really glad that my other teacher "Charrise" taught me so much before. I did learn to pearl which is a backward regular stitch. Anyway, the teacher told me I was ready for the pattern class and even the baby hat class. I think I will stick to the knit/pearl for a while.
