I stopped by the local Salvation Army looking for some treasure.

I found 22 skeins of wool yarn from lace to worsted. at fifty cents a
skien. Some of the feather weight yarn is over 3 ounces a skein. I have
a good bit of sport weight in a treed. I will use the fingering
weight for socks. It was in sealed containers and in perfect condition.
Much of it was marked over 7 dollars a skein.

I have some happy knitting coming my way. Maybe a little crochet!

I also found a large wool afghan for 4 dollars I might go back and get
to take apart.

Short report on Gail.
We now have a health aide coming in 12 hours a day. Gail is getting
weaker little by little. ALS or "Log Gehrig's Disease" is not very
forgiving. She tries to keep her spirits up and still laughs and jokes
when ever she can.

Please send by and extra good thoughts and prayers.


Congratulations on your find!
Sorry to hear about Gail's weakening. A friend of mine fought
ALS for several years. I agree, it is NOT a very forgiving disease.
Be sure that you are both in my prayers.

Higs,
Katherine
