And She Was an American Girl...

...Raised on promises.

Steve Winwood opened...












Tom Petty headlined...












Tom was thrilled that MK is in the audience...












Tom and Steve jam together...












Tom sends MK a kiss at the end of the concert...











Some back story: When The Kid was but just a little kid, he learned all the words to songs on my Tom Petty and Elton John cds. He was so cute, singing at the top of his lungs, and frequently - he would sing what he thought the lyrics were. I can't remember any of his derivations, but it was amusing at the time.

Sooooo, when the Tom Petty concert was announced, I told The Husb that we would have to go and to take The Kid.

It was an awesome concert. It was a ginormous singalong. The crowd was made up mostly of people who were in their twenties and thirties when most of the songs were new hits on the radio and deejays referred to a particular artist having a new album released. Of course, no good concert with a band from the 70s and 80s would be complete without smelling the pungent aroma of a certain plant being enjoyed...

Fifty-one Cent

No, I will not be discussing any rap stars.

When I go for my power walks, I usually find a penny. Today, I found one quarter, one dime, three nickels and one penny. That equals fifty-one cents. I am so happy!!! Seriously? Yep...seriously.

Speaking of Seriously?, here's the post that was supposed to be: There is a sock yarn colorway by sKNITches called Seriously? in honor of the tee vee show, Grey's Anatomy. Y'all know I'm a fan. The name comes from the colors in the yarn - Anatomy Red, Blue Scrubs, Lab Coat White and Meredith's Grey. Clever, huh?

Here are my socks two days ago. They are my July Socks. Yes, I realize it is August, and there is only about 3 inches of knitting there.










I've been in a sort of non-knitting zone for the last few weeks. I'll knit a little here and there, but not much progress is being made. More than that, something has been bothering me about these socks. I love the 2-by-2 rib. I'm even thinking about doing a short-row heel, because it will give me a cute little bullseye effect. I figured out what I did not like. Check out the cast on edge. I didn't like that teensy bit of grey at the top. Had it been a few rows of grey - no biggie. So, for the last two weeks, I've been debating about what to do. Yesterday, I frogged the socks and started over. Seriously? Yep...seriously.

In other news, here is the progress on my June Socks. Seriously? Yep...seriously.

Seriously?

Oops - Sorry...bad case of ADD/too much to do/technological deficiencies. Sorry, sorry, sorry...

Last night, I tried to post some pics and they wouldn't post. I walked away from the computer, fully intending to return and safe my post as a draft. In the meantime, The Kid used the computer, I fell asleep watching tee vee, cause by then, I forgot that I was going to come back and take care of business on the blog...

Well, I rebooted the computer this morning, totally forgetting about this dangling post.

I will try again in another post, because I still cannot seem to get pictures on this one.

Thank you for the concern...

MK out.
