Some of yesterday and today

Yesterday, while Shel was at a local Hobby Shop purchasing some required items for the latest remote controlled battleship that he is building, I popped into a secondhand store for a quick browse. One bookbin contained an interesting book that I hadn't seen or heard of before . . .
An Outline of Humor edited by Carolyn Wells . . . . . . don't know when I'll see it again as Heather has had her nose in it almost since I brought it into the house. It must be good; judging by the laughter. {g} That's right Cyndy! The other book you see in the picture is Crazy Woman Creek! the third in the series edited by Linda M. Hasselstrom, Gaydell Collier, and Nancy Curtis. I was so tickled I could have danced a jig! ( . . . were I a dancer, that is! . . . which I'm not . . .). It's softcover, I would have prefered hardcover as it's a book I want to keep, but it's in excellent condition and the price was right. Who am I to 'look a gift horse in the mouth?' ...... though that is good policy if you really are looking to buy a horse.

Praise the Lord! My needles and hands have finally worked together and gotten those promised socks finished and ready for shipment to Missouri! I know one recipient who won't mind sockies arriving in March to keep her toes nice and warm; and if she's like me she'll most likely be wearing 'em when the AC units are running too. We didn't require AC units here today. Good thing cuz we don't even own any. Though we had bare ground as the sun went down last evening, when I woke at six this morning our world was white again. The snow didn't stay long once the sun appeared but the winds were raw and chilly today. Winter doesn't give up easily.
