Gautami Tripathy won one of my giveaways. The item she was was the book of essays called My Mother's Garden. Read her review here.
Last week Raf and I ate at one of our very favorite restaurants, The Golden Moon, in Weatherford, Texas. The cuisine is Thai and delicious.
I had steamed pot stickers (dumplings) with a cucumber salad in a delicate sauce. Then I had a spicy seafood dish with fried rice and a fortune cookie for desert. Raf had an egg roll, 4 Star beef, the cucumber salad, and a fortune cookie, too. What a pleasure it is to go to this restaurant. They know us, and the service and food is out of this world!
Finally, I completed this vest for a special "sister". I got the tri-colored wool/soysilk in Alaska. The solid I got at a new shop in Fort Worth called Yarns Ewenique on Camp Bowie. It is alpaca and wool. I had fun making this and was delighted when almost 12-year-old Bethy, who is being my model, told me how cool she thought it was! So, Dear Sister, when you receive this, I hope you'll think it's cool, as well. Now on to a quilt and a couple of other Sister gifts, and a mermaid, and a couple of flowers...not to mention more vests!

Re your comment - I hope that's not what the shoes on the electric line mean, but it could be! It's very near the high school, and my husband said he'd seen others. I'll have to ask my delivered-from-drugs son if he has heard of that.

Now that's scrumptious looking food. This post makes me hungry! Lucky I'm filled up on homemade broccoli soup!

I keep being reminded of what my parents and grandparents were like, what their lives were like, at the ages I approach I remember them at. How different we are, and yet how alike. :-)
Your poetry is amazing. I think poetry is such an art form and you are awfully talented.
LOVE thai food..and Thai iced tea. Delicious!
Hugs,

I would like to be able to crochet as it looks so much quicker than knitting.
