Short 'N Sweet

With lots of pictures.  These came home early with hubby on Thursday -- our 21st anniversary.  20 red roses, one white.   Love you, Honey.  Happy Anniversary.

I think I'll keep him.  He came home early so we could go to the Cardinals ball game with Brad and Mo,  long time friends from the old neighborhood.  Early in our acquaintance, we figured out that they had the same anniversary as we do -- more to the point, the same year even.  We were married at 11:00 a.m. and they were married at noon.  Each year we're listed in the church bulletin together and we've even met at a restaurant once, by accident, both couples choosing to anniversary at Trattoria Marcella sometime back in the mid '90s.  They're dear son's God Parents as well -- our connections run deep.

This year, Brad had tickets to a Cardinals day game.  Which we won, by the way, over Cincinnati.  So much fun.  From now on though, the 21st anniversary shall be known as the "Sweaty Naughahide Anniversary" as the temps reached the mid '90s -- these tickets were in the shade though, and all around a lovely afternoon. Happy 21st Brad and Mo!  This is a really cute telephone picture isn't it?  Most of my phone pictures are abysmal -- the one of hubby and me is which is why it's not here -- but this one is lovely.   Wish them a Happy Anniversary in the comments and I'll make sure they see them. 

A Finished Object

One Regia Chevron sock.  See?  Fits a size 7 1/2 foot, just like it's supposed to.  I really like the way these socks are knitting up, and the foot model says they're very comfortable.   Smile. 

Speaking of the foot model... dear daughter is knitting her own first pair of socks.  Remember your first, when you measured every row or so to see if it was time to turn the heel?  We're there.  A few more inches, Dolly!  She's using Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sock (don't remember the name or number of the color) and number 2.5 needles.  These are some cute, crazy colored socks.  I'm so proud!

Happy Anniversary! Beautiful flowers!
How great your daughters learning how to knit socks! They look great so far. Those are really cute colors! My daughter knit a square a while back and decided knitting just wasn't for her.

Congratulations to BOTH happy couples!!

And congratulations to your daughter for trying her fist pair of socks already - she's WAY ahead of the game since a lot of knitters area afraid to ever knit socks. :)

Happy anniversary to y'all and Mo and Brad. With the Eastern to Central time zone change, does that mean you were married at the same time?

Yeah on first pair of socks!!!

What a great anniversary! Our 25th is fast approaching, and we don't have a clue what to do about it. Maybe I should take him to a ball game.

Great socks, too, love the colors.

Happy Anniversary! And pass on happy vibes to your daughter on her first pair of socks!

Happy 21st anniversary to BOTH couples.

Happy Anniversary! How fun to share your anniversary with friends! Please wish them a happy anniversary from me also.

I'm about the same amount done with my very first sock, except that I started from the bottom up. I'm sure that your daughter will probably be done with her socks before I will, though, since I keep being distracted by other projects.
