Friendshipghan Progress...

I have been edging the remaining squares that weren't edged yet, today; and crocheting another row onto the afghan. I feel like I actually accomplished something. :)  I just have a bunch of ends to weave in now. And get some more squares. :D  So I can finish it.  I think about 11 more should do it. But I can't figure out how many plain and how many mutli-colored/variegated. My brain is mushy today for some reason.

Eon was outside riding his bike yesterday and we saw a grasshopper. I said "Go see if you can catch it". Well...  I ended up catching it for him. One of it's legs were gone. :( (Which might be why it was so easy to catch.) I let him keep it in a jar for a while, to look at it. Then I let it go outside. He wanted to keep it as a pet; and put one of his hamsters in a different cage then put the grasshopper in the aquarium. (Sigh...)  I said we would have to find out more if a grasshopper would make a good pet or not. And that it would probably die if we kept it in the jar.  I think he fell in love with it. It did have a cute face. And it looked like it was smiling if you looked at it face to face. :P

Guess who was outside our back door this morning waiting for us?  :D  Mr. Grasshopper. (Or Mrs.?)   I haven't seen it in a while, so it must be off finding some food or something.      We googled grasshoppers, and grasshopper eggs, and then he saw some grasshopper desserts he wanted me to make: Grasshopper pie (that does look yummy), grasshopper pudding, grasshopper trifle, grasshopper bars... (Sigh..) This one little grasshopper is going to make me gain more weight!!..  (Oh yeah, it's Eon's fault, not the grasshopper's.)   :P 

You are probably wondering what in the world this is?....   When I was edging my squares & crocheting them together today, Jetta was in there with me. She found a Milk Bone she had hid, over by one of my bins. Then she put it over by my bookshelf, then (SOOOO weird!!) started trying to dig at the afghan (some of the squares were just laying there on the ground) with her nose, to "cover" her treat up.  It was so funny.  She probably thought she buried it. LOL!! She's so cute sometimes...

There it is. Hee hee...

Ooooh, Grasshopper Pie is a favorite of mine. My grandma used to make it for every holiday. I make it now for Thanksgiving and Christmas. You should try it!

I had to Google the Grasshopper recipes ;)...have you tried eating a cooked grasshopper? Maybe I should try it - occasionally there'd be a grasshopper outside our door.
I did wonder what Jetta has been up to lately :)
