Wednesday is usually
a swim day. But I got a surprise after I was dressed and went to put up the
bird feeders on my deck. It was 24* and
there was a light dusting of snow on the deck.
I checked the TV, and the schools are delayed opening, and some slick
spots on the roads. I know it wasn't
much, and I probably wouldn't have had any problems. But, at my age, I don't need to be out on any chancy roads in the dark on these
hills. So no swim today.

I found out one of
my bridge partners (Dorothy) is a knitter.
I mentioned to her that I knit socks.
She said she had done that years ago, and I "waxed rhapsodic"
about the new self-striping yarns and the "magic loop" method. She was eager to learn more and get
started. This morning, she bought yarn
and an appropriate needle. I found my original simple sock pattern to share. I
met her at a nearby Burger King, and we had a short lesson and Q&A
session. It'll be fun for me to watch
her develop this new skill - especially since she will be celebrating her 90th
birthday in two weeks.
