Dear Passengers on Yesterday's Flight...

Between Dallas Fort Worth and Seattle, Wa...
I'm sorry you had to listen to me cough, sneeze, and blow my honker the entire flight.
You may have even heard me snore during the 20 minutes of the four hour flight that I slept.
I apologize for exposing you to whatever virus I was exposed to on the flight from Fort Meyers to Dallas.
Had I realized I was surrounded by *germ time bombs on that flight I might have tried to maneuver my seat to a safer location but it was a holiday weekend and it was inevitable that those little walking sniffling nose germ bombs would be littered liberally about the plane and being suceptible to catching a cold in flight I was doomed.

Hopefully the rest of you were smarter and dosed up on airborne prior to flying.
I was not so wise.
I should know better.
Next time I will.

In the meantime I hope that I nixed the germs in the bud when we had lunch in Dallas.
Hopefully the bloody mary's at the Irish Pub were strong enough to keep those little buggers from spreading and the only story of the flight you have to tell is about listening to some woman blowing her nose thru the whole flight and not cursing me for the cold you caught and spread to the rest of your lovely family.

That is my hope.
That is my Christmas wish.
That none of you caught the nastiness that kept me from watching the Silvertips whoop Saskatoon last night 5-1.
That had me leaving dinner with our friends early because all I wanted was to go to bed.
That probably started a rumor at the Irishmen amongst the servers when all I wanted to eat was ginger ale, a cup of croutons, and a little macaroni and cheese because I was feeling nauseas.

I hope you can forgive me in this time of Joy Love Cheer and good wishes for all.
I'm sure it's all your good wishes that have me feeling better today.

Sincerely,
The Girl in 14C

*while germ time bombs do refer to children please note that I have nothing against kids, and kids on airplanes, it's just that I know from working in a daycare that they are exposed to everything at a young age and therefore expose us to things without meaning too... I think children are delightful. Just not when I get exposed to their germs.

SSYC... My First Official Yarn Crawl...

It's true... I've never actually participated in a yarn crawl or LYS tour. When I worked at So Much Yarn I had the pleasure of working the weekend of the LYS Tour but I've never done it. Well, the SSYC, South Sound Yarn Crawl covers 9 shops that aren't included for whatever reason in the Seattle LYS Tour that covers around 25 shops in the area. Maybe they're too far off the beaten path. It's not because they aren't in Seattle because there are shops way way way out of town that are included in the Seattle LYS tour. Whatever the reason, it's not important. What is important is that Mary and I both took Friday off and hit the road. I caught the 7:15 Ferry to Kingston, Arrived at Mary's about 8:00. Mary and I have the same china. Mine came from my Grandmother, her's came from her mom. Tried making friends with her fluffy dog Mae. Someday she'll come to love me, for now I'll respect her tenative personality and love her fro...

Remembering...

I don't know what karmic cosmic angels were flitting around today but they led me to the coffee aisle at the grocery store. More specifically it led me to the international moments. Which led me to thoughts of my grandmother. I loved her. I knew deep in my bones that she loved me. Grandma loved her International Moments coffees. Just smelling them. Holding the tin (though it's different now) Brings back memories of being with my grandma. She said these were her special treat and she'd make one for me to. Grandma made the best fresh blackberry pie. I know they were fresh because when she came to visit us in Bellevue she'd make us help her pick blackberries. She was the master of Christmas cookies, chocolate chip cookies and raspberry freezer jam. I make freezer jam from time to time and it reminds me of summer visits to Boise. Helping grandma in her garden, making sun tea, and smelling her roses. Sometimes, I buy a tin of Interna...
