It's true. Some dogs like to play
with fuzzy toys. Some of them like to lay
on top of their toys while they play with a new
toy.
here it is:
evidence of Lots of Fun.
this is the wonderful present
that arrived yesterday in the post
for the Knitting Companion.
This week, we have been enjoying
home made bread. Yum.
and for breakfast today :
brown eggs.
there is some
wonderful sock knitting in progress.
this will be a sock-on-the-Road next week.
and Lucy Neatby's Dvd has
made an appearance
chez Knitting Companion.
Today, the Knitting Companion
received a present in the mail.
Lucky boy.
He's thrilled with his new
fuzzy toy.
I've taken photos & will share them
very soon.
Thank you to all who have written
with their thoughtful words
on the passing
of my friend.
Your kindness
is so appreciated.
a good friend, far and away,
gave me this
fabulous book (by nancy Bush).
Next week i will be
Knitting on the road (so to speak).
I'll be going to Quebec City
with the Knitting Companion.
I'll be teaching and he will
be exploring the Plains of Abraham for
his first time. No doubt he will
be soaking up all the culture.
It is always nice to
have flowers in the kitchen.
here's what i am enjoying this week.
Time for eggs ?
yes, delightful little
paper-wrapped eggs from Italy.
Purchased from the little Italian
shop around the corner from home.
Best surprise: they are chocolate.
Delicious, fine-quality chocolate.
The kind that's worth hiding: for yourself.
Ode to Olive
Olive and I met quite a long time ago.
We were "across the hall neighbours".
We lived in an older, small size
apartment building. Everyone had a tiny
little door/cupboard beside their front door.
Long ago, this was used by the milkman
for deliveries.
Olive and i used to leave each
other surprises in the milk boxes.
Many a night, after one of
her "lady parties" or
committee meetings, a little note would be slipped
under my door to alert me to a special something
waiting in my milk box.
I liked to surprise her by decorating her
milk box as well as her front door from
time to time. She was a good sport and
seemed to enjoy the change of scene.
Olive had a big love for animals.
She was the sort of lady
who has a "lady like" apartment.
Olive loved cottage holidays in the summers.
Olive was a marvellous friend.
Kind and generous.
Warm and loving and very brave.
I miss her
very much.
my "library/to do "
card was made
ahead of time for March 7th.
on my card,
i mentioned my friend Olive.
i am very sad to say, that
last week my dear friend Olive
died. I will miss her very much.
