February 8, 2010--Heck yes, the New Orleans Saints won! And for anyone interested, my son and his wife and their dog marched on Sunday in the Mardi Gras Barkus parade. . . .The theme for pet cosumes this year was--tailgating. . . Oh does my imagination run wild. . . I would love to be pulled down Bourbon Street next year by my three Rottweilers in costumes. . . . to be continued.
Blankets are being assembled for Haiti. . .squares are coming in. . . the basement is a filled with squares sorted by color, size, etc. . . thanks for everyone who has checked us out, is working and continues to support our little endeavor. Email me any questions. . . .Thanks to Yvonne--one of our original contributors from New Mexico. As I told her--this is the Magnificent Seven ala blankets. . . the old crew is coming back for another ride. . . by the way, what a great movie, eh? Remember the scene when Robert Vaughan (yes the Man from U.N.C.L.E.) dismays over his slow hand in grabbing flies off a table? OK, later. . . .
February 3, 2010--I was unpacking boxes of squares yesterday; in the bottom of Marjorie's carefully packed box (always lined with pretty paper and a kind note)was a beautiful baby blanket for Haiti--Thanks Marjorie--it's wonderful! We have sent four blankets to MN for assembling; and today a shipment of eight goes to New York and Kathy. There's also two going out to a local helper--and well, Ruth is also busy with her hook. It's cold here this morning, but it's invigorating to know all the squares will be helping make people's lives brighter. Not that they weren't in New Orleans--as there's still plenty we can do there too--but let's face it, immediacy often takes precedence over a disaster that seems distant. We'll be heading to Louisiana in April , so I promise pictures of the areas we have been following. Remember Mardi Gras happens in two weeks!
February 2--Happy Ground Hog Day! Squares are coming in! Thanks Diane and the Canyon Villa residents in CA as well as Marjorie in MI. Shelly from MN and Kathy from NY are putting some blankets together for me also. So the old gang is back together--Kind of feel like a Western where the old "cowpokes" decide on another adventure. Could be the Three Musketeers. . . .too, for that matter. Ruth and Carroll locally in MI are also assembling for us! The blankets will be taken to Mississippi in Late March/early April to Doug and Susan's Kids' Foundation. From there, they will be sent to Haiti!
