The Sock: I finished the first sock just this morning, and have yet to cast on the second. The first fits great! I made some tweaks to my usual "design", and it overall fits better than previous socks. And why have I never done Jenny's Surprisingly Stretchy Bind-Off all this time? 🧦

Book Two: "The Screwtape Letters" by C.S. Lewis 😈
I'm simultaneously listening to and reading this book. I found the John Cleese narration on YouTube, and I'm loving it! I'm about halfway through. Since this book is more portable, it's my "on the go" book.

Book One: "Island of the Mad" by @laurierking
In prep for Ms. King releasing a new Russell/Sherlock book this year (second pic), I'm reading through my backlog of her previous novels in the series. I'm now 3½ books behind. So far, this is a delightful read as always.

I would sit in stony silence. Do not stand. Do not applaud. Do not boo. Do not be overtly rude. Do not leave. Wear noise-cancelling earbuds.
I loved it when all the Dem women wore white for the suffragettes. Maybe where all black. Wear American Flag pins upside down.

As if I needed any other reason to stand with Ukraine:
My maternal great-grandfather's family lived in Ukraine. They were part of a group known as the Black Sea Germans living in the area around Odessa. It's highly likely I have distant family still living there. Slava Ukraini!

Main Photo: A woman with short brown hair and wearing a white, short-sleeved shirt is gazing down at an infant in her lap. The infant is dressed in a white sleeper. We cannot see the infant's face. Inset: The same woman, now elderly with white hair and a pink shirt, stands next to her much taller, adult granddaughter. The younger woman is wearing a purple shirt and glasses. She has black, shoulder-length hair and is smiling broadly.

Happy Birthday, Grandma! I sure do miss you! ❤️

The main photo is, I believe, our first picture together in February 1974.
The inset is our last picture together in December 2010.
