thanks and kudos

To my SP5:
Thank you, thank you. I am only now getting around to really looking through the beautiful Loop-d-Loop.  What fun!  And this afternoon, I finally wound a ball of yarn to begin one of the scarves from the patterns you sent me.  I’ll knit Bess first.  And, I will use the beautiful stitch markers you made.  Thank you for taking the time to find things I’ll use and enjoy.  I really thought that maybe I’d be able to find out who you are.  But, this summer wasn’t working with me on that.  I’ve had dial up ALL summer, no broadband.  It’s been slow.  For much of it, I’ve had very little internet.  The phone line is funky to say the least.  I just can’t seem to convince Verizon that they should put my phone line up on the poles.  You’d think they’d prefer it that way.  (It rained yesterday and my phone went out again, see what I mean?)  So anyway, it slowed down my detective work.  Here’s the long promised shot of my wonderful package, that by the way, arrived just when I really needed it most. 

  Tonight, when I sit down, I’ll be knitting Bess and I’ll be wondering who you are.  Oh, and thanks for making it so much fun.

When I’m not doing the fun things… check these babies out. 

The quarter is for scale.  It’s not easy to find, is it?  C bought these things that look like they could very well eat us for dinner tomato plants this year called Pink Amish.  Holy smokes!

Today: more applesauce, more squash, more… and yes, I’m thankful to have it.

To Ann: I am SO happy that you are putting stuff up.  It’s a really good feeling.  In a world where we have so little control, it’s good to have something that feels as if we’ve begun to take charge.  Kudos!
