Amazing

I love this title! "How to rescue America from moral decline- one family at a time" by Reb Bradley A treat from the book: "it is no surprise... Passion driven people are drawn to the liberal parties, including the sexually promiscuous, criminals, pornographers and drug users." this statement floors me. i had no idea that Rush Limbaugh was a liberal! And on the back: "this important book provides the foundation for understanding the cause of our country's problems, including the financial crisis of 2008." senator orsini

I paged through this book, reading tidbits. It is so last year in the time of dividing the nation between us and them. Real america vs the liberal left. I think his thesis is flawed and that the book is filled with ridiculous generalizations, like the one above that only the liberals have drug users and criminals and sexually promiscuous. I think both conservatives and liberals have people that can fill those lists. 

PS Im sorry I cannot figure out how to fix the html when it is published on the iphone i see spaces and centering, but it isnt publishing that way :(

First snow

Yesterday 66, today 30 and snow is falling! I don't know if it will last until lunchtime but is beautiful. I love snow!

Thursday: Chess Club

I love watching the kids play.

A final fairwell to summer

Summer days are just a memory, I have sat by the fire to knit but I always had my pile of tomatos. When the frost came in October we brought in baskets full of green goodness. Dutifully my tomatos were ripening on the kitchen counter. They are not quite as good as off the vine and warmed by the sun, but so much better than tasteless winter tomatos from the store. Dinner tonight tomato soup inspired by the Angry Chicken using the last of my tomatos:)

funny how the iphone is great with some photos and then we get this wonky one!

Upstairs knitting

Upstairs I knit things that are too big for travel knitting or require more attention or I am trying to hide so no really knows how many new projects exist. This is the beginnings of a baby kimono for a friend of my sisters. I held off making it, this is my first piece for a stranger. Now I have to tuck ends in correctly, make it perfect. I am loving the colors! Happy Monday!

Knitting in the park

Just learned the library opens at noon on Sundays. Luckily we can walk to the park and play in the sunshine. I am making Morgan bubblegum pink Maine morning mitts. I am using smaller needles to make them smaller, yarn cascade 220.

Celebrating

The family headed to Yak and Yeti for dinner. It was fantastic despite my manthing having to wrestle his plate back from an eager bus boy.

Inappropriate?

I saw this in our library's children's section on the lower shelf, best viewing for the littlest. I do not believe in censorship, in my opinion this would do better upstairs in the young adult section, what do you think? (really not sure when guns become appropriate)
