a horse walks into a bar and the bartender looks at him and says "what's with the long face?"

I love your blog and the colors that you have up....I love your mittens, you are talented girl! Did that help? Nothing helps me when I'm in a funk except hearing from friends, near and far. Have a good evening and pamper yourself with whatever it is you want to do.

Sorry about your "funk". You'll pull through it soon enough. I think there is something in the air. I have a sky picture treat on my blog from my beach trip this weekend. I very specifically thought of you when I took it (I really did).

Tanya

I've been having a bad time of it myself these days and last night I was helping my nephew fall asleep and I told him that you know you've had a good day when someone gives you a hug and a kiss, tells you they love you and you get a good laugh.

Here's what we were laughing at:

If you're American when you go in the bathroom and you're American when you leave the bathroom, what are you when you're in the bathroom?

European.

Hope it gave you a good chuckly. It always makes me laugh. There seems to be some badness going around. I hope it passes with the season. I'm ready for a change.

We'll be a pair o' moonies mooning the moon tonight. How's that?

We perhaps need to be over the moon, like so:

Here's another knitting that made me giggle:
Church Couple

A couple was sitting in church, the man was sleeping and his wife was knitting. The priest asked: "Who created the Earth and man?"

The woman poked the man with her knitting needle, and the man screamed, "God!"

The Priest looked at him and said, "That's right." Then he asked "Who is God's son?"

Once more the woman poked her husband with the needle, he woke up and screamed, "Jesus Christ!"

Again, the priest said, "Correct."

Finally, the priest asked, "What did Eve say to Adam, when she didn't want any more children?"

The knitter poked her husband again, but this time he got up and screamed: "Poke me with that thing one more time and I'm going to rip it off!"

Oh Sandy, I am sorry you are feeling blue and have the grumperinas.

Here's a joke for you, hope it lightens your mood a wee bit.

Knitting Blonde
A highway patrolman pulled up alongside a speeding car on the freeway. As the officer peered through the driver's window, he was astounded to find that the blonde behind the wheel was knitting.

The trooper cranked down his window and yelled to the driver, "Pull over!" at the top of his lungs. "No!" the blonde yelled back, "Mittens!"

It is the time of year. Change is always hard and with the boy going away it compounds your feelings. Be good to yourself. Even if it is a big bubble bath and a bottle of wine (whine?) ;-)

Peace Fleece. It's good for what ails ya. I'm just sayin'. :-)

I agree, it's the change of season. I feel the same way, it's that whole "moving on" thing.
This too shall pass.

Well, okay, I don't know, maybe you've heard this one? A man walks into a bar, and . . . oh, you've heard it? Oh well! It's a good one though, huh?

Oh dear....you too?? I just visited Norma and she is a bit grumpy as well. This is the time of summer that becomes bittersweet. We know it is almost over and some do get sad and a wee bit overwhelmed.

Keep your chin up, I hope it passes soon for you :-)

I think it's the change in seasons coupled with the full moon this week and then on top of it your babies are going to college. Grump away. It will pass. :)

You and Norma need to start a club. I'm joining. It's the end of summer. Nobody really wants it to go. We have a longer winter to look forward to. Yuck.

Jokes are not my forte but we did hear a lot of really funny stories last night at knitting. Most of the ladies seemed to have had a nasty week and we migrated over to the Bertucci's for wine at the end of the evening. Between the stories and a relaxing glass of wine, everyone was in a better mood when we left.

Funniest story? One of our ladies is a quite young woman who's got 5 kids. She has 4 boys and a girl. The youngest is the girl and not 30 minutes after she'd brought her home from the hospital her 5 year old called 911 to say they had a baby in the house and the balls had fallen off! He'd seen her diaper being changed and noted immediately that something was missing *lol* Poor Cheryl said no one heard him make the call and next thing they new the house was full of EMT's and fireman laughing their heads off. I bet those fellows still tell that story.

It's the change. NO, NOT THAT CHANGE! The change in seasons. Makes us all reflective and sad about the past and nervous about the future. Hugs. Be good to yourself today. Indulge in some good knitting.

Hmmm.. you and Norma are a pair today! Have some chocolate - I think you need a cool change in the weather. Come to Australia for a holiday! :)
