Thank you everyone for the very nice birthday wishes! Mamallama is a spiller of beans. Mark that down.

Speaking of whom, [is that proper English Pragmatist?] There was a package on my doorstep when I got home from shopping yesterday from said bean spiller.

This is what it contained:

I let out such a squeal of delight when I saw it that Sunny was ready to dispatch the offending tome forthwith. She jumped to the conclusion that the book was attacking me. I had a bit of a time convincing her that is was a GOOD squeal . . .

Thank you Mamallama! You are a gem. Even if you ARE a bean spiller.
I will drool all over it, and we shall attempt some of its treasures at our creekside spot as soon as weather and proximity permits!

And to complete the happy news all around, here are your socks all ready to wear. You have good taste in color, that's all I can say about them....well, besides the fact that I learned a new little trick to finishing off the toes that makes them practically perfect in every way. Every time I make a pair, I learn something new. Pretty soon, I'll be a genius!

Only thing is now I feel funny. There's no knitting on needles in my house. I have to do something about that quick like. I feel faint......

    happy birthday again my friend
    what a treasure of a gift
    how wonderful for you to have a friend that knows you so well and it is thoughtful enough to send you a gift that will enrich your already rich life

    I think the most enriching present that I ever received from a friend was the series of seth books you know seth the channeler and a beautiful book mark
    and I can really say that having read these books had a lot to do with my giving up smoking that was a risk to my health

    Happy Belated Birthday! I tried to send you a comment yesterday but Dd had some glitch because there was no add comment in your site. Now, it's much better.

    Love your socks and love the colors too.

    TaDa... LS~~*
