My Custom-made Blanket

No. 1 is very busy with grad school these days, but before classes started, she kept herself occupied by crocheting. She likes to do that, so she found a pattern for a blanket and made it for her study—it looks great with the red walls and the wooden blinds we installed in the huge windows.

I liked the design so much, I asked her to make one for me. So, using yarn I ordered and had shipped to her, she got to work. Here is what she made—Tiger likes it, too.

Tiger also likes my horn case and tends to curl up in it when I practice.

The little guy had a tumor removed from his leg and will have the stitches removed on Friday. He seems OK to me, but we're still waiting on the results of the biopsy.

This is the cutest blanket! Your girls are both so clever and crafty like their momma! Oh dear, what am I passing down to my children? :]

I hope Tiger is Ok. I'm sure the horn case therapy will have him good as new in no time.

That's a lovely blanket, Robyn, but the photo of Tiger in your horn case is simply irresistible.

Cindy Loo Who In October

What is it with people and Cindy Loo Who? Of my last one hundred blog hits, forty have been direct visits from regular readers, and fifteen have been as a result of people searching for "Cindy Loo Who," the little pixie from Seuss's How The Grinch Stole Christmas . A couple of years ago, I posted an image of the original Seuss illustration as compared to the TV cartoon image, and for some reason, that post is bringing in the crowds, relatively. Maybe it's the weather. It isn't even November yet, and already we've had frost and have had to dust off our winter coats. When it gets cold like this, I start to think about Christmasy things like listening to Nat King Cole and decorating the tree. It's ironic because I am offended when retailers start pushing holiday stuff early, but I don't mind my own private celebrations. When my sister and I were much younger and still living with our parents, we would pick a day in July, close the curtains to darken the ...

Happy Birthday To...

Pope Leo IX (the Pope) JCF Bach (German composer) Jane Russell (of Gentlemen Prefer Blonds fame) Daniel Carter Beard (founder of the Boy Scouts of America) Jean-Paul Sartre (French philosopher) Maureen Stapleton (Academy Award winning actress) Mariette Hartley (who?) Prince William of Wales (the prince) but most importantly, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 45 years ago today, I was born in Alabama in a small town on the banks of the Tennessee River. Yesterday, someone asked me if my family has any birthday traditions. The answer is no. My family never cared very much, but I do remember a few birthday highlights. I was given a birthday party in the back yard when I was ten years old. Two years later, my sister got married on my birthday, so I was just a bit overlooked, although I did get a stuffed animal--it was a white Yorkshire terrier with an AM radio in its stomach. When I turned 20, a different sister took me to an outdoor performance of Dvorak's New World Sympho...
