Life's a Stitch

What does Noro Silk Garden have to do with our house’s foundation? Here is a glimpse of how I think. Or rationalize spending money. When we bought our house it was considered a teardown. It is expensive to demolish a house and start over. Being from a career that involves a bit of a rescuer mentality (we’ve also have had a rescue dog and bird in our lives), I knew I was meant for that house. I would save it from demolition and live in it. An inspector, who was undoubtedly influenced by my sheer desire for that house, declared it structurally sound. A few years later, after more than budgeted renovations, we were clearing the brush from around the house and discovered a significant gap between the foundation and the ground. Making a long story short, it requires a significant repair. I know after that after the repair things will be tight so there’s an excuse to buy some Noro Silk Garden now. Besides it feels so good to buy something when I’m feeling down about something. It’s destined to be a “Very Harlot Poncho.”
