My mama gave me three sets of knitting needles, too. Lots of gifts going around....you'd think it was my birthday week or something.
A few quick items:
*My bird, O.J. Smudge is very vain. Emma has made a song to the tune of "Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf" that goes "O.J. Smudge is the one we love" and goes on to state that he's a "special bird," an "important bird," and a "handsome bird" in the various verses. Nothing makes him puff up and tweet more than hearing his special song.
*Speaking of birds, the church-bird has a friend now. She sits on the top of the church's roof and admires his singing. I'm very happy for them.
*I made blackberry tarts with macaroon crusts today. This is not necessarily information that will be helpful to you, but they were very delicious and impressive. So there.
*We were at my parents' house for lunch today with my brother and his lovely wife when my mom made the funniest random statement that she has ever made. She walked through the room with a bottle of vegetable oil and a paper towel and declared that she was going to go "oil the pole so the kids could watch the squirrels." I'll give you a minute to catch your breath. Okay. What this means is that she uses oil to make the bird feeder pole slick to keep the squirrels from eating all the seeds. It's pretty funny to watch them slip and slide, I guess, but the simple fact that my mother deemed this family-style entertainment will keep me laughing for at least three days to come.
DAILY BLISS: Good Earth original tea and finishing my grocery shopping (I usually forget stuff, but I got it all this time)

What a clever little apron. How cute.
Yes. I love it so much that I almost wore it to bed.
