Good morning. It is 4:48 a.m. as I am typing this. I woke up wide awake about 2:30 a.m. Don't you just hate when that happens!?! I do...it throws my whole day off and then I tend to sleep half the day :(. What do you like to do when you have insomnia? I like to surf the web. In this morning's search I came across a recipe at Momswhothink.com that sounded so good, I thought I would share it with you. I have not tried this recipe yet, but when I do, I will let you know how it is. If you try it before I do, please let us know what you think of it!

Speaking of recipes, my dh is going to grill out tonight, weather permitting. This will be the first time this season that we will be using our grill. I love food cooked on a grill, don't you? We're thinking of making ribs, but not sure yet.
A progress note: I worked on Paul's (my dh) afghan last night. I got two more rows worked. I really am enjoying working on the afghan. I love the colors, turquoise and green and I love the pattern itself. I can't work on it too much though, my arthritis kick in more and more often. You would think that someone like myself who works with her fingers and hands all the time, typing, knitting, crocheting, and cake decorating all use your fingers, wouldn't you think that they would be flexible and not get arthritic. I wish I had learned how to crochet years ago. I tried to learn a few times, but just could not understand it. Then, thx to my friend, Marilyn, a fellow snow bird whom I met in Myrtle Beach in February, I am now crocheting away and loving it. I am also working on different patterns for dishclothes for charity (I have completed 3 thus far!), and a shawl made it the most gorgeous yarn, and I designed a kippah for my step-daughter who collects them! When I find what I did with my camera, I will take pictures and post them on Ravelry and Meetup.
Well, I feel a yawn coming in, so I will end here for now! I may be back if on my current search I discover something interesting. Hope you are all having either sweet dreams or are having fun if you are awake (depending upon your time zone, I know :)).
Love,
Marilyn
