Thanks, Gloria, I'm always so thrilled when the kids or grandkids ask me to make them something.
Last year I knit fingerless gloves for everyone and they were really a big hit. Another year I made them all different hats. I love to knit. It is slower than crochet but satisfying too. Anyway, it has become a tradition that I make something for them for Christmas every year. It's a good tradition, I think.

I am a lucky woman, Joan. The ac was cranked up pretty good so crocheting afghans and reading kept me sane. Kids are all still using those blankets even now... <G> Mom Made is good, I guess ....

We had parked, we were walking down toward the main street and I was reading the guide book and kinda walking backward... oops... fell off a yellow marked curb.... looked down... ankle was three times bigger than usual and black black black... I passed out... scared Joell to pieces but a lovely woman stopped and called for help.... once it was decided that I had fainted from fear and not a heart problem or something we did continue on our way to Tucson... I was a mess.... skinned nose and forehead.... not to mention cobled knees and wrists and this absolutly horrid looking ankle..... interesting... I still want to go back to Hot Springs but Joell won't take me... can you believe <LOL> Anyway, long story short, got back to Tucson and was fitted with a brace etc and sat with my foot up for the rest of the summer..... crocheted afghans for the entire summer <LOL. everyone got one for Christmas. more than anyone needed or wanted to know... mj On Apr 20, 2011, at 7:16 PM, [email protected] wrote: Your Mom is not close to Austin. My husband's family was from Arkansas, just one niece left now, in Hot Springs. We would drive there every other year but I've forgotten how long it took. I think Arkansas is a beautiful state, I loved walking in the fields looking for crystal rocks, sometimes, we would find some beautiful ones. Gloria
