And lo, two knitters emerged...

Great class today, with wonderful students who made my job easy. Reminded me how much I love teaching. I hope my classes pick up now that fall is coming!

Shh... Don't tell anyone...

...but I'm crocheting! I've known how to more or less for years, just never bothered with it. I'm in the final ten rows of my Peacock Feathers shawl and am using a crochet project to break up the rows.

Not telling what it is (and if you know don't say!) But here's the start of it.

Goodbye Grandma

Dear grandma,

I'm sitting next to you. You were sleeping peacefully. Now you're a little restless, but seem to have settled looking at the picture of your... Our... Family.

You held my hand for a minute. You looked at me without seeing me. Overall you just seem tired. Like you're tired of waiting. Ready to move on. Ready to be with grandpa again.

The nurses put on your favorite music. Nurses stop in. The doctor and chaplain stop by. Everyone loves you here.

You did so much for so many. Now it's your turn to rest. I love you. And I'll miss you. But I know you're going to be where you'll be at peace, and everything will make sense again.

Wow. First post all year...

...And it's nothing special. Just hoping to have more to say in the near future. Wrapping up a couple long term projects. Will post updates soon.
