I have been a mom long enough that I can rip off a phrase like "Please don't hammer on those bananas.", without even batting an eyelash.  I'm not sure why DearSon picked up a small wooden mallet and started to pummel the bananas but he stopped when asked.  Although, as you would expect, that poor bunch of  bananas are a bit bruised. 

Also happy Saint Patrick's Day! 

 I've got a Saint Patrick's Day joke for you.   What's green and sits on your porch?  ......  Wait for it.  Wait for it.   Patty o'Furniture!   (OK,  I didn't say it was a good joke but it makes me laugh every time.)

There was the traditional building of leprechaun traps.  Sadly, the leprechaun got away this year again.  Apparently he found some yarn laying around the house (Imagine that?)  and used it as a rope to get out of the large glass and shimmy over the block wall.

And lastly for now.  If you had to pick one thing to not  fall out of the refrigerator door and smash all over the kitchen floor, what would it be?




Simply said, a full glass jar of horseradish.  The consistency of the horseradish is somewhere between liquid and grainy solid that resisted my attempts to mop, sweep, or soak it up.  So between the consistency, the glass shards and a smell that chased large and small out of the kitchen, it was not a pretty clean up.


I have some pretty impressive knitting blocking that I'll be ready to show next post.



(PS:  If you're looking for way to help Japan, here's  a link to the Japanese Red Cross.  You will have to convert dollars to Japanese yen.    Here's today's conversion rate.   

Total donation in yen  = 78.4900 Japanese yen x (amount in dollars to donate)

So if you want to donate $10, you would enter 785 yen (rounded).  )
