Bend & Stretch

When I was a young mother and Mama was a baby - we used to watch a show on TV called Ed Allen. It was an exercise show and even though she was quite little, she tried very hard to do those exercises along with me and Ed. It seems that sometimes history repeats itself. Here is our Canadian Male Munchkin Model bending and stretching to touch his toes. It doesn't look like he has much difficulty doing it either.

After I finished Mama's socks and packaged them up to go back to Canada, I looked into my bag of yarn and found another skein of sock yarn in Patons Stretch Socks in a colour called Taffy! Imagine that! Our little Taffy was quite pleased that she was famous enough to name a colour after her. Anyway, I started another pair of socks (I know, but I love knitting socks - no brainers) for Kev-Inn. He loves them and always says he will take as many as I can knit..........so he gets stuck with all the excess sock yarn knitted into socks. He has gotten some strange colours that way, but he wears them all.

It was cool here in Florida today (by cool I mean about 61F), so we had a lazy day and didn't do much of anything except laundry, a walk, and a quick trip to the grocery store for a tomato to put in our supper salad. Poppa sat and played on the computer for a while, exploring tabs to see what would happen.

Last night we went to Romano's Macaroni Grille. Imagine Poppa's surprise - he thought he was taking me out for a treat of macaroni and cheese - only to find that it was a lovely Italian ristorante - and there was no macaroni on the menu. We started off with a bottle of that Martini & Rossi Asti Spumante that I am in love with, some lovely Italian bread, a Caesar salad, and then our entrees. It was quite yummy. The opera singer stopped at our table to deliver the wine, and regaled us with "O Sole Mio" while she un-corked and poured. She had an absolutely amazing voice and the personality to go along with it. Another pleasant evening in Florida.
