Life's a Stitch

I once saw a button that said "Be kind to me, I have teenagers." I only have one teen now, the two girls having graduated into their 20’s. I still deserve kindness. This isn’t a bad story, just an example of teenage logic.

So, Chuck is in MN, the girls are back to Edmonton and Victoria, the student is at the pub and I asked Bryant if I could take him out to dinner. He hemmed and hawed, calculating how he might fit me in with his social life. After a while he replied:

"Actually, it’s not real high on my priority list."

Where might he have heard that response before?

"You mean," I asked, "that going out to eat with me is not on your priority list?"

"No, I just can’t see spending the money, why don’t you take the money we would have spent and send it to the hurricane victims."

Good answer. Except of course, he will take my money tonight to go to the movies.

Thanks to all for your comments about the Regia tin. I would have brought more back for RAOK’s, blog contest prizes and gifts, but there was only one.

Here is a project I started in Germany; I needed something totable. It sort of looks like a sock, but it’s sleeve of a baby sweater knit in sock yarn.

UPDATE: Bryant and I have decided to make a contribution directly to someone affected by the hurricane and will send our donation to the aunt of Christine, of Blue Ewe fame. This elderly aunt lost all in New Orleans and Christine is providing her with temporary shelter.
