STITCHING BEGINS

With what's happening in Ukraine at this moment, the consensus in our household is......thank heaven we are as old as we are.  

Can remember reading history books about the 1940s and how a mad man did despicable things to humanity and wondered why nobody did anything to stop him.  Honestly, am finding myself wondering the same thing now.  How can a few negotiators sit in suits around a table discussing what to do while innocent civilians are being killed, wounded and all the other despicable things that are happening.  The good thing about this mess is how it's uniting the rest of the world.  

On a calmer note......have started crocheting the valance.  The boyfriend went to WM and bought a spring tension rod, which will be perfect.  Now I can design the valance accordingly.  Took a picture of me crocheting the base chain.  It's fun to have a before and after picture.  Am working with Sugar & Cream thread and a size H hook.  The pattern will be a combination of the V stitch and the fan stitch.  

The weather here today was close to perfect for the last day of February.  The little man spent awhile laying out on the deck in the sun.  

Looking out into the field across the way, can see a few deer coming out to eat.  

Supper tonight is Subway sandwiches.  Took the Subway ad in for the special buy one and get one free.  Well, let me say it's the typical bait and switch caper.  Am going to do what I love doing, and that is writing to the company and complain.  When I did that with Red Lobster, they sent us a $30 gift certificate.  Of course, one has to have receipt number and adequate reason for the complaint.  Will see what happens with Subway.  It's the principle.  There's so much deceit in our world, and few people take the step to actually complain.  Not this girl.  Stay tuned.

Tis happy hour, so will sip my toddy.  Am having a vodka gimlet with olives.  Multiple olives.  (giggle)
