helloooooO, O-Fam!I hope that you are all doing wonderful on this fine morning!!
(Is that too much? I think it might be too much......)
I am in a pretty decent mood, it's just that I am disgusted and sad again over the news. And angry- school shootings *always* make me angry. So like every other instance we've had in the past [insert time frame of your choice: week/month/year], I'll go through the same routine. Heartbreak/anger/stuff it all down. Lather rinse repeat. And repeat. Annnd repeat.
The day had started really well too. I did a fantastic, energizing yoga routine. The kitchen was cleaned up, I knew what I was making for dinner. The grocery order was complete. it was still sunny so I decided that I was going to take J over to the park for a walk. I asked Gary if he was up to come with me so W could go too and he was! (Backstory is that J doesn't like to walk on our street. Refuses to go past certain points. I think it is from when she had knee surgery as a puppy and we had to walk several times a day, back and forth while she was healing. She doesn't like to go past the mailboxes where I would turn around). We walked them around the ballfields. We went to the trailhead to see which trail was marked from there. Gary wanted to keep hiking but we weren't ticked-sprayed and ticks *love* him. He can walk to the mailbox and find ticks on him. And I am *not* taking any chances of getting a new bite. No way.
I spent a little time looking for a new crochet pattern. I had gotten a bamboo yarn a few years ago. It's super fine and hard to work with so I didn't want anything complicated. I took Vicky's idea and went with 2 strands and the same pattern I used with the wool scarf I just finished. Since the yarn is soft and almost slippery, it's will have a completely different look and drape than the wool. And 100% piece of cake to do. That's what I need.
I also made a new siggie, it still needs a little bit of adjustment, it's too big. Cheryl thanks for the Standing O for it too
TfT - Tip for Tuesday- Any tips you wish to share. How to do something in Photoshop, a great recipe, how to soothe an upset child etc. It could also be a tip request. Do need advice on how to do something?
What is your TfT?
I always have things rolling around in my head during the week, and then I can't remember them on the day. My tip is to write them down in my planner so I won't forget

. It's very special coming from you since you are an outstanding scrapper.
I look forward to many hours of paddling this spring/summer and fall! We have plans on taking the Kayaks up to MIL and FIL's so we can explore the crystal clear waters of the Cowichan Lake. Our little lake down at the bottom of our hill gets an algae bloom in the summer, so it might not be so great to go out on the Lake at the end of August. Lots of talk about making this lake healthier for the Canada Rowing Club, they are out on the Lake almost everyday. I will keep my fingers crossed that it happens!
Then I check Shaun's. Nope...the IRS can't find it. Then I check TurboTax. They can't find it. Good grief! Now we need to get on the phone and get this straightened out. I've got the copy of where I submitted it printed out. Because, I'm old and I really don't trust electronics. SMH 
Into the rat hole we go....
