Hosted by 

YAM Aunty click here to see her handwork

I started working on this scarf in early fall 2024.

Holidays and 1 sinus infection and the CEC(Christmas Eve Crud)

got in the way.  I finally finished it May 2, 2025.

1 skein of variegated yarn

a J hook

stitches are all single and double crochet

simple and easy...!!

Scarf is 6"wide x 42"long

 

April 30, 2025 our temperature was 90 degrees.

It broke the April 30, 1906 record 

Now should we have a cold snap in May I'm and ready to stay warm.

I think it compliments my new fall coat

Woohoo lots of symmetry in hooking

 Dear Auntie HiC,

I was preparing for my scheduled 1:35 afternoon nap on May 2, when the windows shook from a thunderstorm!

I found the storm quite entertaining, as I share Mom’s fascination with meteorology. I particularly enjoyed the pea sized pieces of ice falling from the sky!

Despite their bravery, Kat and Rocky are terrified of storms and quickly took cover under the bed.

As the storm passed, I found myself bored, washed my paws, and slumber soon followed!

Enjoy the video! 😹

Hey friends, do you like thunderstorms? Every dog in Mom’s life has been terrified during bad weather, and she is extremely sympathetic.

❤️ Cali

Dearest Cali

Auntie HiC does not like Tstorms or lightning.  I would have been snuggled under the bed with Rocky and Kat.

Angel Madi would run to our half bath, wedge herself between the loo and the wall.

Lovingly Auntie HiC

MOL BOL LOL

The meaning of HiC

A bit of background first.

In 2006, long before I blogged, I met four ladies, Bette, Chelle, Kathy and Kit in a chat room all about Alaska.  We had a grand time email and discussing our love of the great state of Alaska. Kit, mom to Kat, Rocky and Cali.  I've known Kit and Chelle almost 20 years. Chelle was born in Alaska now lives in Florida.  Every day I email Chelle and Kit.  They are the sisters I never had. Bette whom we called 'Our Bette' passed away in 2017.  Kathy no longer emails.

Now how I came to be HiC

One morning on of the gals was replying to an email.  It started 

'Hi C'...but she hit send before she complete spelling my name. I thought she was just shortening my name. I wrote back if we are gonna shorten it lets go with

HiC, 

which is one of several shortened versions of Cecilia,

Cil, Ceal,  just plain C

Dear Auntie HiC,

Mom never asked Kat or Rocky this question! 

Don’t I look innocent? 😹

❤️ Cali

MOL MOL that innocent face could never do any thing bad; however, no telling what the Calio brain is working on.

Cali anytime mom asks if you are/have done anything bad.  Your answer should be....Mom girls just want to have fun and rule.

WE all know boys just drool and wait for da Girls to entertain them.

Lovingly 

Auntie HiC
