Finally a knitting project that I totally love! Totally useful, too….lol

Henny Penny!

She is the Dotted Chicken by Susan B Anderson, Itty Bitty Nursery.

A friend of mine made some adorable chickens, big size, and I loved them so much but didn’t want to spend as much time making them. I ran across this one and I just happened to have the book….so Henny was born! I tried to name her Penny, but for some reason, kept calling her Henny….I guess she knew what she wanted to be named.

Last night, her first day with us as a complete chickie, she went on our date with us. We were hesitant to leave her home.

But she says….I can’t see where I am going! So we remedied that!

Here she looks longingly at Starbucks, but we didn’t stop even though she squawked quite a lot about it.

She really enjoyed the beauty of the drive…

…..even though Kenny thought it was pretty funny to play games with her…

she only rolled off once!

Unfortunately date night was not a fun one, it was a errand night instead. First we had a very elegant dinner.

Then we had to go pick up a drum set from a friend.

She had to stay in the car while we went to Macy’s and Penney’s. We had no time to even go to B&N but I scored some great deals! One day sale….red Fiestaware flatware regularly $19 a set for $5.40 each! She liked that since it’s her favorite color but alas…no pictures.

And then we headed home.

She did hang out with Kenny at a stoplight…

She was very tired when we got home.

Now today….

I decided I would get my mom some Cinnamon Melts from McDonald’s since she seemed to be craving them but when I got over there, a very long train was parked along side Walmart and McDonald’s….people were trapped in the parking lot and I couldn’t get in. I was so happy I hadn’t gotten in and not able to get out! So we went to Starbucks and then the health food store which was not open yet.

We thought, let’s go drink our coffee at work and then come back.

(see Grandma in the background?…..don’t tell her!)

Then….I went back to McDonalds, ordered the Cinnamon Melts….paid for them….and drove off. I went to the health food store, got my vitamins, discovered that I had neglected to stop at the window at McDonald’s to pick up my said Cinnamon Melts, pondered whether I had the humility to drive back through and tell them I forgot to stop and get them….was laughing too hard at myself to be able to do it and came back to work. Now if I had brought Henny with me, I am sure it wouldn’t have happened!

Then, I got here and decided I’d better take my blood pressure meds, opened the bottle, took them and went to put the bottle back in my purse and sprayed them everywhere! I hadn’t put the lid on! Lauri, who was here with Penny while I left, crawled around helping me pick them up from everywhere and assured me that I had now had my limit of crazy things happen for the day. I will agree and trust the rest of the day will be very smooth!

Have a great Saturday!
