Your treasure chest arrived yesterday morning, with the kid's swimsuits and the knitting needles and crochet hooks and yarn. Thank you so much for sending such fun love!!
When you finish knitting socks and start to take it off of the needles, and an older lady comes right over to tell you there's a much better way to do that, you know she's a knitter. Sure enough, she had lost everything in the tsunami and happily chose a set of needles, a crochet hook, and some yarn.
And she taught me a much better method for casting off rib stitches. Good elasticity to the edge. But I digress.
Another lady had just gone to dig through the debris at her house, and found a double-ended crochet hook in the muddy sand. She said it was like finding gold. Two skeins of yarn went home with her.
The pool stoppers have not been found. By God's grace it's raining this morning. Hoping to go buy another pool for the bigger kids today so that these swimsuits can splash around with some kids in them. That's what they're here for.
I'm starting to lean toward wanting to extend my stay, kinda sorta maybe. Not sure what that will look like. Can't answer any of the standard journalist questions yet. Just putting this out there.
But first, buying a pool. And the morning meeting just started--I'd better get out there. Catch you later!
