I have been talking a few people through their first attempts at sock knitting (FA in PA needs to send me some pictures). Here is an email I just received from my friend M. Carmel……

Esteemed One,
I offer attached pictures (in a most humble manner), for your perusal and
blessings…..thank you, oh, exhalted one…..your little knitting
grasshopper (prostrating herself in front of you)

Didn’t she do a great job?? Let’s hear it for the girl!! Let’s also remember that while she may indeed be my little knitting grasshopper, that in no way means I am an ancient Chinese man.

At Last – Winter!

we are in the midst of a blizzard, complete with white out conditions. Perfectly timed for the weekend and husbandly operation of the snowblower. These pictures were taken from the comfort of my house – I simply cranked open a window or two and snapped away.

daughter #1

Daughter #1’s name begins with a C. When I first started the blog, I was concerned about privacy issues and referred to the girls as 1 and 2. I suppose I shall just stick with it, but her name does begin with this week’s letter. She is in her second semester of college and loving every minute of it. And I am thrilled that she is thrilled. My college days were the best and I want the same for her. Well, maybe mostly the same, but with less beer!
