Knits With Cats
Knits With Cats
I'm a senior technical project manager at work, a knit project starter at home and a list-maker everywhere! I'm married and have too many cats, lots of books, almost enough rose bushes, and way too much yarn!

It's Good To Be Home!

We're back from Atlanta, safe and sound.
It was raining when we left our hotel in Snellville at 4:50 a.m. Tuesday, raining when the plane lifted off, and raining in San Jose when it landed. It's dry now, but more rain is predicted for tonight

When we're in Santa Barbara, Mr. Ken makes sure we stop at BB's Knits for a visit. (For some reason, he seems to think that I need to be either bribed or treated when we visit his family. Not true, but why tell him now?) BB's is heavy on the nove

Decluttering
Tuesday, 1 November 2005 5:35 P GMT-08
I don't do Spring cleaning so much. There's the special cleaning before Passover, and that usually suffices. I do, however, Autumn clean. We tend to let things get cluttered up during the warm summer months when so much time is spent outside.
