hmmm...seems like a more than a year has elapsed since the last post. How does that happen? If only we could freeze time like that. Hmmm...something to ponder. Knitting-yes..shawls and socks. Mindless stuff. The yarn is now in the basement and knitting has taken a major backseat to music. Music-YES..and LOL still working on Flatt Lonesome with much more of a foundation than a year ago. New strings today. Strap lock today. Perhaps a video today. Who knows? Heartbeats? Always and still and wider and deeper but always and still. No need to play 'catch up'. All there is..is NOW. Until the next post and who knows when that shall be. (and I've missed my fish!) ***grin***

2012

What amazing energy this year is already demonstrating. We have 2 sweaters on needles and a 3rd off needles ready to be sewn together (Charvet) and have learned some amazing new songs on the Dobro and our heart is beating strongly and surely. Miss Holly Herself is growing into a lovely panther. Derek is happy and in Love. Julie and family are thriving. David is my very best friend always. I have no complaints. HAPPY NEW YEAR!

and baked



baked beans in the making


legumes

are good for us and my TBA read mentioned black beans, red (kidney beans), and pea beans. David loves Western NY style baked beans made with navy/pea beans. This is NOT your southern BBQ, tomato based Pork 'n Beans. Nope, this is just beans cooked way down before adding butter-a goodly amount of butter-like a whole stick of butter-and a heaping helping of brown sugar-did I mention "heaping helping"? Some salt and pepper and then bake it down. It's awesome! He eats it cold on white bread with more butter (it's all about the butter in the Ikeler clan). I'll post a picture of this when it's out of the oven. Right now it's still simmering on the stove.

TBA read also suggested that I eat more chicken. Makes me laugh and think of a roadside billboard for a popular fast food place. I would have thought more seafood or less meat completely. But this was a strong point so a lovely chicken is going on the rotisserie today as well.

David is interested in a TBA session. It will be interesting to discover what musical tone he resonates to as well as the foods that support his health and well-being. I would also love to learn everyone of my friend's and family's musical resonance. It somehow puts us all in a song. What chords are we forming? Who are the dissonant tones in my song?

Total Body Analysis

is amazing and so enlightening
Apparently "I" resonate to the tone we know as C#
Time to explore this tone.

some music and some knitting today....

music is sweeter with new strings..
some time to work on some things I don't know
some time to work on some things I know a little
some time to work on some things I know and really enjoy

knitting is always a haven..well almost always
the great Annis knit-out is continuing
I have 1 finished and 1 about midway
Rebecca has 1 off the needles and 1 about midway
that's 4 by my count!

The pics will wait till we can post them all together

and my heartbeat today is steady..August is a busy month at the Prayer Registry which has the children registered by their "death-dates". Looking at the pictures of these faces is so grounding for me. Holding these families in my heart in healing meditation is healing for me. Writing to the families and to the one's who've gone on is strengthening me. As we approach what would have been Danny's 34th birthday, we honestly feel we are in a better, stronger frame of heart and mind than we've been for the last 5.
