We have gotten two kids through college with the agreement that we
pay for three years, they pay for the fourth. The third child, AKA the
shock (not because he was a surprise, he was very well planned, but
that he was a boy after two girls), is finishing year one. It's a good
thing economically. We spent a long time saving for those educations
and with the current downturn, I don't know how much more we could
afford. Right, you say, what's with all the yarn expenditures?
Oh well, we all have our weakness, but true to our purchasing habits, hardly anything is bought at full price.
I was reviewing this month's credit
card bill and it was apparent Mr. C fed the economy hobbywise. In a stange way it was
comforting to see that the worm had turned. That's a woodworking pun. Going
down the list there was Home Depot, Canadian Tire (tool dept), Rona
Home Centre, Dick's Lumber, Summit Tools, House of Tools and Busy Bee
Tools. What about Home Hardware, I asked? Oh, I paid cash there, he
replied. That's a guy bill if I ever saw one, said our friend, Doug.
Having no room to talk, I agree. We all need a spree now and then and
hopefully his will have some payback. I'm going to spend (poor choice
of words) some time in the near future setting up his ETSY shop for
shawl pins and related items – Woodenknit. Good name, eh? Thanks to
Doug for coming up with that one.
I smell another expense. If you find any missing "r's" from this
post it's because my computer has, in the middle of this post, suffered
a freak accident leaving its "r's" with a partial disability. It was a
near miss computer drop. I managed to catch it by the "r" key, bending
it out of shape. Arrrgh. I had to press hard to type that.
