The shawl is almost finished, but I’ve decided to make the edging longer: not because I have to, but at long last because I want to. It’s going to be gorgeous.
The friend who has shown up at my door several times when I’ve been sick with a quart of mango juice from Trader Joe’s just because it’s my favorite, knowing it would cheer me up, sent out a note today: did anyone have crutches for her height?
We have some, but they’re my son’s and he’s 19″ taller than she is, so I couldn’t help her on that one. But anyone who’s sprained both ankles needs a little something to cheer her up.
What I really wanted to do was help watch her little kids who were running in and out of the house, but that whole sun thing…
I put the chocolate torte in her fridge so she wouldn’t have to get up.
And it was enough.
p.s. Happy Birthday to my daughter-in-law, Kim! And to my son John yesterday.
