Remembering

Friday, September 11, 2009

Eight years ago today our country was shaken by terrorist attack. I had this picture and quote on my old web site for a long time. It felt right to bring it back today. In remembrance.

Monday, March 9, 2009

While I wait for the yarn to arrive from Dee, I’ve been cleaning out my knitting to-do list. The socks, as you saw, were finished last week. The last of the small shop samples got themselves knit up late yesterday. I got four samples out of the one small ball of yarn I had. There […]

President Ford
I don’t know why I was so surprised to hear about the passing of President Ford, but I was. And saddened. I remember Watergate and the Nixon mess fairly well considering I’ve never exactly been a news hound. I always thought that Ford did a fairly good job cleaning up. What a job that […]
