Life's a Stitch

I’ve had a lucky week. First, I was shopping at Sears’ scratch and save sale and scratched $80 off on a pressure washer for Chuck. Better luck than I had in the cruise ship casino where I lost $2.35. I hate to part with my money with nothing to show for it. I am a good winner, however, even if it is only a scratch and save coupon –  yelping appropriately and giving high fives to the sales clerk. After paying we agreed that it  might be a good time for me to buy a lottery ticket. So, I did just that and bought a scratch and win ticket and shared it with the sales clerk. It wasn’t a winner, but it was fun to see him smile. 

This one you’ll especially appreciate. I’ve had a visit from a yarn fairy Godmother. Out of the blue I received an e-mail from my husband’s nephew’s wife, whom I’ve never met. She won a basket of silk yarn at a charity auction, and since she isn’t a knitter, offered to give it to me! Thank you, Valerie.

Make that three times lucky; how about some vacation photos:
