What I Learned This Week
Judy sent me a welcoming dishcloth. Love it Judy!
Here are some neat things I learned this week:
*Dawn dish soap 50% and Warmed vinegar 50% clean the shower door water spots off easily.
*Knitpicks gets an unfavorable review from me this week.
I caught a billing /order error and who knows when they would have. In short, I'll spend my dollars elsewhere.
*The name of my favorite evergreen here is a Concolor Fir.
*The neighbors pour gasoline on their fire pit to get it moving.
I will not be alarmed. I will not be alarmed.
I make it my personal quest to start a good fire with just one match.
*Knitty is now asking for donations. Can't say I blame them. They used to be my go to. Now I just look at their patterns for fun. Like Interweave, they speak to the fancy knitters most and they lose me. I'm not fancy folks. I knit and purl.
*I'm oh so grateful for Facebook. There I said it.
I can see zach's beautiful photos of Chiapas there.
*Favorite new quote of the week:
Ghandi: "I Like your Christ. I do not like your Christians. They are not very Christlike"
*
One bite of hard chocolate is worth 10 marshmallows to me.
*
A tray of cheese, salami and ritz crackers was gobbled up faster than anything else I've offered guests lately.
Very Wisconsin!
*finally,
I need to go apple picking. Al comes on Tuesday...this won't be a problem.
She and Fireman love apples.
We usually apple pick on Roshashonna because our kids got the day off, and apples are kind of a New Year thing for Jews.
And it is apple picking time and the orchards are less crowded on a "schoolday" . The New Year is late this year says my dear friend Abby. October for goodness sake. Perfect time for Abby's brisket recipe ....
Learn anything new this week?

I'm crazy about Judy's dishcloth. My sweet swap partner sent me one like it and I also love it!
We always went apple-picking when the kids were growing up, but I rarely do now. It makes me miss them!
Today, I learned how to steek, and I loved it.
Enjoy your time with Al.
Hugs,
