Sheri – thanks for the shout out. It’s hot in the Gulf right now, but it will cool off while we’re there and I know my guys will appreciate the supportive thoughts and gestures! Shanti

I’m going through my stash right now to see if I have appropriate yarn for a hat. What a great idea. Thank you for passing it on to us.

Count me in too with the hats. I had to purchase some yarn – the only worsted weight I have is hand wash….but this project perked me up lots! What’s the cost of yarn when these young men and women are fighting for our freedom and that of others too. I’ll be praying over each one – just like some do with the prayer shawls.

Thanks for the heads up about the Hats for Sailors. It was just the excuse I needed to order some Madelinetosh from you. When I knit the hats, I will be thinking of my Dad, he had 26 years in the Navy, going for 30 when he because ill. He wore his navy issued socks until the day he passed.

Having met KD, I know why you are anxious to have her home for a bit. She is delightful to talk to.
I hope you went home to rest for a bit.
I will be searching TLE’s website for the yarn bowls-how did I miss that?

Sheri, you are lucky if KD gets a fall break before Thanksgiving week! My youngest son is a freshman up at Michigan Tech, and we won’t get to see him until then. At least they get a whole week then. (It is 430 miles, one way, from us, so a shorter Thanksgiving break wouldn’t work for most of the kids.) Thank heavens for video chats on AIM! He needs to see one of our dogs every now & then, too. I have sent a couple of cases of his favorite Arizona Raspberry Sun Tea up for him. And I am sending a gallon of cider, a bag of apples, and some Snickers bars (his favorite) up this weekend, with his roommate’s family. I’m really glad you had a great visit with her this past weekend!

I worked late last night, so I could have a longer lunch today with a friend, then go see a yarn shop she’s not investigated.

Sadly, this does not involve a flight out to see you.

Leaves are just beginning to turn here. About half my drive to work is through various forest preserves, and I love watching all the colors change, starting in mid-April when the leaves start popping, all the way through mid-November when everything drops. Even the dead of winter, when it snows, is beautiful.

Sheri,
It is now 11:25 cdt and I hope that you went home a long time ago! Aspens and cottonwoods are all looking great, but leaves will be gone in a week or so here in southern Colorado. BTW I loved the heel cream and the vanilla bar.
