Two Things I'm Grateful For

1.My computer's fixed!!

My sweet hubby unhooked wires, plugged wires in, cleaned computer parts, and waved his magic wand...and it works! No further problems, no data lost.

2. $1 summer movies for the kids

 Sure, you can get all the movies they're showing on DVD, but it's the cool big screen theater experience the kids want. Cheap entertainment twice a week all summer.

A Yarn Scrap Experiment

Stephanie of Simply Crochet and Other Crafts posed an interesting question recently. How many yarn scraps do we accumulate over a year? It made me think, so I decided to do an experiment.

I started with this empty jar yesterday. I'm not sure of the size (quart, maybe? It had honey in it from a bee farm), but I'll see how fast it fills with yarn scraps. I'll post a picture every Monday so you can see the experiment's progress.

Two Bits of Trivia

Jeans, thought to be a strictly American product, originated in 18th century Italy where Genoan sailors wore snappy outfits made from denim.

June 12 is Little League Girls Baseball Day, Magic Day, and Red Rose Day.
