I am counting down the days until summer vacation begins. Yusef's graduation is on the 2nd and I still haven't got a complete outfit to wear. I do not like shopping much at all but will have to venture out again tomorrow. The sweater is beautiful. Love the color. Your knitting is just gorgeous!

He does look completely embarrassed doesn't he? The things we do to our "kids".<br /><br />I'm praying constantly for those little children especially, who will never forget. I remember being on my knees looking out the back car window, (yes it was in the days before seatbelts), and telling my Daddy to "go faster because the cows are flying!". I was 8 or 9 and will never forget. I'm so glad to live in the wonderful northwest where we don't seem to have tornadoes after spending my first 32 years in storm shelters much of every spring and summer.<br /><br />Blessings and love to you dear Meredith.<br />BetsyBetsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00807691752817225336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3787570018101441310.post-70036807000623695312013-05-22T14:09:15.921-04:002013-05-22T14:09:15.921-04:00Being an Oklahoma born person whose home was blown...Being an Oklahoma born person whose home was blown to bits by a tornado when I was 6 weeks old - while we were inside it - I am deeply affected by the recent tragedy, especially the little school children.
