I told them it came from one of my knitting sites so now they have their own connection to my addiction! Thanks Sherri!

This week I am going to Los Angeles for 4 days...to play some music, and to visit my elderly aunt and uncle whom I haven't seen in a number of years. Oh yeah, and also to knit...my favorite activity on long flights and time in airports! The weather is supposed to be perfect there...mid-70's with no chance of rain! I grew up there, so I'm used to the fact that LA doesn't have weather...but I have to admit that I now really prefer the changing of the seasons. It's hard to get in the mood for holidays when it's always sunny and warm. But, it will be nice for a few days! I'll let you know how much knitting I get done!

Yay! Spring is my favorite season. Lilacs and hydrangeas are my all time favorite flowers, and our lilacs are just beginning to green up. Let's hope my super-pruning husband didn't manage to snip all the flower buds last fall!

Yummy! I have a similar recipe with blueberries and cream cheese. I have a favorite mug to tell you about.....It is Deruta pottery from Italy. My husband and I were away for a two week trip to Seattle, stumbled upon the most quaint coffee shop....eveything was served in these glorious yellow Italian mugs...they even had the sugar and creamer in the pottery. It was one of those perfect mornings.....we bought four mugs so we could have coffee and always remember that very special ambiance in the coffee shop. I bet you didn't realize we all would be so into sharing about mugs....could have been great contest material:) I hope you ignore the Loopy a bit and have yourself a wonderful week of knitting with your daughter, shopping to keep your credit card active, recipe trying for all of us, and whatever else sounds good.....you deserve a break..and all of us could use a break from the endless temptations you send our way:) Hi Sheri,

We do not have seasons in Florida....we only have different degrees of heat. I must admit that I have a weakness for coffee cups, especially travel mugs! It drives my husband crazy. Have fun knitting with your daughter, and cherish that time together. Some of my most wonderful memories are of me and my mom spending time together crafting.

Just checkin'. Ahem. And that is one sexy coffee mug, lady. Any combination of pink, brown, red, and aqua and I'm soooo all over it. My mugs feel your mugs' pain at being crammed in a now-too-tiny cabinet, too. I made the mistake of 'collecting' the Starbucks city mugs of the places I visited for a while, and now I shall never want for a vessel for coffee consumption. Ever. If I live to be a zillion. Seriously. Actually, now that I look at it again (after scrolling past the eight-trillion-calorie goodness that I'm trying to ignore for the sake of my tremendously large tailsection...), that might be a neat-o fair isle pattern....

Seems we have so few days in the summer without it, too. We go up to Door County (Wis) almost every summer in late August, and I love it because it's usually about 75-80 and not humid. Lovely! We have way too many coffee cups too- every couple years I have to weed through and pull out the less-loved ones. I have a bad habit of wanting to pick a new one up every season.

Spring is really lovely. I hope you get a chance to go to the Botanical Gardens. I loved going there. The humidity is killer. Make yourself some sun tea! Have fun knitting. I am working this weekend, and I have a small grant due April sixth that I have yet to find time to start. Easter will be nice. I lived in St. Louis for 8 years while going to grad school at Wash U.
