Gifts

This past weekend we received an invitation to a wedding in CA. We are so happy for Allison and Jeremy! And now for my question. I was wondering what they might like me to make for them and I did come up with one idea. Please tell me what you think of my idea- those of you who know Allison best. This picture is the pattern for a tablecloth. I could do it in white or off-white. What do you think?

I started reading "The Education of Henry Adams." He was the grandson of President Adams. His book used to be required reading in schools so of course I figured it had to be boring! Well, to me at least, it is very good reading and gives a nice personal view of what life was like in the 1800's. It reminds me somewhat of Edward Hale's "A New England Boyhood". That is also an excellent book to read. The difference appears to be that the Adams book goes into adulthood.

I found some pictures online of Rachel in her wedding dress (pre-wedding). She really looked beautiful. Finding her picture was like a gift to me!

Last night I got Dad to actually watch a 9 minute YouTube video. It is called Music for One Apartment and Six Drummers. I found it as an embed on a knitting blog! This is my gift to you (since that is my theme).



Have a great rest of the week. We are supposed to get snow, maybe, tonight and then mid 40's temperatures tomorrow. So I guess we won't enjoy the inch or less that is coming.
