based on extensive cartoon viewing, I believe the Tasmanian devil to be the more ruthless of the two.

I supposed an explanation is in order ……. I have been spending most of my online time over on Facebook (along with the rest of the blogging world). Mostly I am taking idiotic quizzes and playing their version of Scrabble. So that explains where I have been – now what about the wolverine vs Tasmanian devil? Last week’s NY Times had an article about about a site called Plinky. From what I can tell it gives you prompts with questions and I discovered that I can link not only my Facebook account to it, but also the blog! Even if you really don’t care what I think about the outcome of the Wolverine/Tasmanian grudgematch, at least you will know I haven’t fallen completely off the edge of the internet!

I was adding projects to Ravelry and realized my Thermis never made it to the blog! Here is a not so great pic of the project — and as per my usual, it is not quite done. I still need to stitch on the buttons! This is a great pattern for a very stylish neck warmer. I used some leftover stash yarn, which always leaves me with a smug feeling of self satisfaction.

We leave tomorrow to attend Daughter #1’s college graduation.  I simply cannot believe it.  When did all this happen?  What have I been doing?  Wasn’t it just weeks ago that I posted this picture of her freshmen dorm?

~sniff~

Mr. Boar and I recently made a trip up the Hudson to visit Daughter #2. We took her and some of her friends out to dinner in nearby Tivoli. We had a great dinner and enjoyed strolling through the town. Lo and behold they have a lovely yarn shop!

How funny is this picture? It was taken just outside of town – I wonder if there are so many people rushing to drive right into the Hudson that the railroad crossing gates were necessary?
