Huge cones of cotton yarn arrived in the mail on Saturday evening from my dear friend in Ennis. We had each mailed each other a box on Friday. I sent her knitted dishrags. And she sent me yarn to make more and money for postage. Wow. One lady she knows down there wants twenty in "shaded denim". It is a pretty, soothing color. I am trying to remember to keep track on the inside of the cardboard cone with little marks exactly how many one of these huge cones make. A regular ball of yarn, solid color makes two. These cones sure feel heavier than a pound. (it saith pound on the label)
Three down, and seventeen to go. I am glad my friend is finding all the dishrags I knit good homes down there in Ennis.
And we played a couple of games of Scrabble today since Bob was done with his Sunday School lesson. The word, JAWBONED, lays across two triples very nicely for 153 points. At first, I was going to be happy to just lay JAW on one triple in the upper left hand corner, but then I saw the opportunity to make it a compound word. Bob bingo-ed with SARDINES during the first game.
We ate peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for lunch. And McDonald's premium salads for supper. Chick-fill-you-up salads are better, and bigger, but Chick-fill-you-up is not open on Sunday.

Yarn and Scrabble blogging makes rivetting prose -- especially if you can weave (croche?) all the words on the Scrabble game into it.
Yes, and I forgot to write whatall we ate for breakfast---eggs and toast, and how eating such a big breakfast kinda killed our appetite for lunch. Next we will be blogging our bowel movements. Or, complain about our one-hundred degree days.
103 today, but tomorrow promises to be cooler -- only 99 I hear.
