The Merry Month of May

May is my favorite month!

We have a family tradition

that during one's birthday month,

he or she is treated rather royally.

I do love that!

And not only is my birthday this month,

but also Mothers Day is celebrated 

here in the States.

So it's a double whammy for me!

I chose to eat at the Lawrence

on Saturday night.

It is catty-corner to our little Midtown condo,

so not only do they serve yummy food, 

but it is oh so convenient.

It is small and intimate,

and we've gotten to know the friendly staff,

so it is like dining with family.

I chose their incredible mussels

...not a morsel left behind!

I'm knitting away on my 

Chevron Vest,

(designed by Courtney Kelley)

and I LOVE it.

I had a difficult time getting started,

but once I figured out the pattern,

it's been a breeze.

The yarn is Tundra Taiga

by the Fibre Company,

and it is a delight:

60% Baby Alpaca, 30% Merino Wool AND 10% Silk..

so you know it is soft on the hands.

It's a great little project to take along

in the car, or to knitting group,

 even while watching a baseball game,

or listening to a recorded book.

And it will be fun to wear!

Hope your May is also (ALL SO) Merry!

thanks for stopping by

PEACE to YOU!
