sock yarn fairy

The sock yarn fairy came to my house today.  A while ago I won a prize pack from Sock-a-Month 2 – enough yarn for SIX pairs of socks . . . woohoo!  ‘cuz y’all know I’m a sock yarn ho!

bad news

I just got a call from Hubby’s Uncle and Hubby’s Grandpa passed away last night.  Hubby is taking it as well as can be expected.  Grandpa was in his 90s and the last time we saw him, last summer, he had gotten quite frail.  He had also been battling skin cancer, so this wasn’t a total surprise.
