Heredity

Watch this:













My granddaughter at 7, ((I only have one grandchild). I am 54.
I would say I did not look like this until I was 11. I think this will grow into other resemblances, but I am being thrilled for now!

Leaving the furthest set of stitches on the left hook, work with the most recently knit stitches and knit two more inches in length. Every other row bind off one more stitch for a total of 3 on each side of the neck area. Then bind these off.

Carefully begin the knitting on the reserved side being careful to twist the outer stitch on every other row around twice to keep the neckline tight -- or you can tighten the stitches when sewing the crew ribbing in place later.

Work the back in the same manner, only make the sleeve 8 inches deep before binding off the neck, and finish off with one more inch in stockinette.

From My Blog at Yahoo:
Look at this, or your own image of a well-stocked refrigerator and set your mind on a nice looking stash this New Year. You can copy or of course substitute your favorites!

It is easy to fail at remembering all the options available at the food centers and grocery stores, pictures from mags or catalogs of stocked refrigerators (which I mean to start a collection of) give you ideas for snacks and dinner, that you hadn't remembered you love. Studying stocked boxes is good from a health point of view because variety is more health inducing than the same old things as far as eating go. I haven't ever actually done this before, but I am going to now. I always wanted to fill my icebox as in a picture from a catalog but haven't gotten around to it. I saved this in Photobucket until I had time and/or money for a really nice load.;]❥;

I see Hot Pockets, a Variety pack of Ice Cream Sandwiches. milk, pineapple juice, energy drink, frozen vegetables, winter squash, bosc lettuce, ketchup, coke, pickles, frozen entrees, some kind of dairy product and chunk cheese. What else would be good?
