a good day...

well, so far it is.

Yesterday started it

I got a call from a friend who asked what was wrong with me

she knows me well and can just call and say

what's up and don't stop til you're done

and then actually stops and listens

and it helps coz we've been friends for so long I can bitch and complain

and it's OK

and then we laugh and solve the problems and it's over

and after that

all is well

**********************************************************************

(this is the heron that came for supper with the ducks

it was dusk

oh really is that why it's so well lit and clear and sharp?

and I knew if I went out it would fly so I didn't and snapped it from inside

which is why it's so well lit....de da de da de da)

and then I decided to go out anyway and see if I could sneak in closer

and we all know what happens when I do that

well I tried

 :)

and then

while trying to figure out how to do the tut for the knitting
but in good light so I don't have to edit the heck out of each shot

husband checked the mail and came in and said

it's for you

and I asked

as one does

what...from where

don't know

it's in French

OOOOOOO

said I

FRENCH???

and he said yes, French

see the stamps...

oh ... it's a book

my school girl French helped me figure that one out

the only one I know in France is

Valerie

she sent me a French knitting book maybe

well no what good would that be

such a twit am I

 hm mm

what could it be

so I ripped and tore

slowly and carefully opened the envelope

and inside was

but the British version    edition !!!!

how cosmopolitan are we

how fabulous is this

a Brit mag coming from France

across the big pond to the US!!!

to moi

Valerie says that I mentioned somewhere sometime that I have never seen a Brit one

I've been getting  the one here for years

so she up and sent me one

how sweet is that

VERY!!!!

and tied around it  was a

French felt heart

with

LOOK

French string

:) :) :)

mon dieu that's cute

t'will hang here where I can see it

and that is one of her photos

she takes the most beautiful photos

and she has a

French Country Garden

the kind we all dream of having

with the old French House to go with it

(and all the problems too!!!!  :) :) :) )

 

good thing this isn't the truck that brought my yarn to me from Ruth!!!

won't find badgers and hedgehogs in the US one

not such cute ones anyway

!!!

and as for

Morris Dancers

don't think they'd be there either

 

I am such a spoiled brat

but I love it all

I sat with a cup of tea and strolled through the pages

and thought about all the

wonderful people I know

who send me things through the mail

just because

they have great big hearts and sweet souls

just like

my

merci beaucoup mon ami
