oh my, Fried Green Tomatoes is a neglected idea. It was September, then Fall, then Christmas took forever, now it is deep into a too long winter. Is it wrong to be impatient with coming spring on Feb. 21? So be it.
Here's a bit of a photo album update:

| Fall at Waterway South |

 |
| As an early 60th birthday celebration, we went to see James Taylor with friends Molly & Russ Keeney from Black Mountain.-- 60th birthday? Wait, how? Surely not yet. Wow, that went fast. |
|
 |
| Mom spent time with us at Christmas. On our annual Christmas Day walk on the beach, she found an intact sand dollar. |
|
 |
| Very special this Christmas -- Joyce Cooper, who lives down the hall from mom at Glenaire, gave us this beautiful afghan she knitted in the 1970s. She said she did 12 or 15 of them (can you imagine?!) and everyone in her family who wants one has one. She knows I'm a knitter and thought I would appreciate it -- and she is absolutely correct in that. I love the way it looks on the red couch. |
 |
| Which brings me to my knitting. Just before Valentine's Day I finally finished and mailed this sweater vest to Jeffrey. It is made with a very warm (I hope) Scottish shetland wool.Over T'giving I sent it via Mom partially completed to Winston-Salem for him to try on and needed to tink down to the beginning of the armholes and deepen and broaded the "V". I like the side ribbing in this pattern. |

| So now we are just trying to finish up Winter. It has been unreasonably, I mean unseasonably, cold for the SC Lowcountry -- temps in the teens for days at a time. I am working for H&R Block through April 15 and Duncan keeps getting more deeply involved with the Coast Guard Auxiliary. We have stayed pretty close to home. |
 |
| These 2 beach pics were taken in lieu of attending services on Sunday Feb. 8. It was warm and nice on the beach. We walked far, took deep gulps of sweet sea air and napped in the sun. Altogether it felt we had been to church. |
